Loving the Maiden references - I'm a huge fan.

In regards to the "Wait List" thread on the basses forum, it seems like the whole thread was deleted. I have earned myself a hater/stalker who goes by Khronic on here, and we have both a legal agreement that he won't involve himself in our business, as well as an understanding here (with Moderator knowledge) that he won't harass or me or Hammersmith related threads - which he doesn't seem willing to follow. I reported his post, and the solution the mods came up with was to delete the thread entirely. It's sort of heavy handed, but I can understand they don't wish to babysit any Hammersmith related threads either, so the "hammer" comes down on us as well. PLEASE do not feed the troll. If he is sending any of you PMs or contacting you in any other way to create mistrust, please let me know.

The "I am not a number....." thing comes from a British TV series called "The Prisoner".....

(Very strange series lots of weirdness).....Maiden just used the popular sound bites for their track....:):thumbsup:

It is known.

I haven't seen the TV show, and the only reason I know it exists is because of the Iron Maiden song. So, whenever I hear those lines, I immediately think of Iron Maiden. UP THE IRONS!!!

@MarkoYYZ

Hey Marko, I was curious about the neck specs on these, particularly the thickness at the 1st and 12th frets.

I know it's got a 1.5" nut, 2.25" heel, 12" radius, but I don't remember thickness being posted anywhere.

Also, is it more a of Fender C shape, or something else?

Thanks!

I'm gonna guess no. In my experience, these things always end up getting delayed. I hope I'm wrong though!

Since the Wait List thread is gone, maybe you (@MarkoYYZ) could edit the 1st post of the thread with the people who don't mind sharing their name and bass number. I'm always glad to suggest more work for you!

And an FYI to the others on the thread - I'm getting a K, but not a TB special. I'm going the custom route, and will have a Seymour Duncan SMB-4D in the MM sweet spot, and an Alumitone at the neck.

Hi guys - sorry I haven't been active here much lately. It's been a busy week or two here, and been trying to get a clear arrival date on the necks and bodies, as my contact at the OEM is on leave of some kind and I'm pulling my hair out at this point. We ere set to be in the air by now with us starting builds any day (hence the late May starting dates). I'm hoping to have another Skype call to clarify tonight and will then update the thread with info about builds, shipments, etc...

I see also about noting everyone's build details, which I can also do later tonight.
