That's what I'm saying lol. Is doesn't look like a computer error this time, but I don't want to extrapolate as I don't know.
Just keeping y'all updated.
Wouldn't be surprised. Last time I got a bass from them, I was playing it before the credit card got billed.
It's no longer "ready to ship" and back to "order received" at least it didn't go back to "waiting on items". Seems Sweetwater has some computer problems or they are really backed up.
I read an article about how Sweetwater's sales are skyrocketing past black Friday sales during this covid pandemic

I believe it... I've been waiting on a Behringer UM2 (sould out EVERYWHERE)... People are stuck at home and in need of distraction and/or remote recording equipment.
Update!
Just heard from my rep at Sweetwater and they have my bass, it's getting my set up done and shipping out today or tomorrow. I will have it by week's end or Monday!

So I want to pass this info on as I read back a few pages and didn't see anyone posting anything similar.. I have a 6 string EHB on order with sweetwater (ordered in January). My sales rep called me about a week or so ago and let me know that Ibanez wasn't shipping anything currently and didn't expect to until early July.
I'm pretty sure that's just kicking the can down a bit further and I don't expect my bass till later in the year.. but.. we'll see.

China is ramping back up to nomality. I may be wrong, but the EHB may be built in Indonesia and they are in a different situation right now...
Indeed, the situation for factories of all types in Indonesia is pretty dire at the moment. I've chatted with a few retailers and none of them know when things will arrive. Sweetwater is popular for preorders on TB but I'd be surprised if they know any more than anyone else.
They told me the same 3 weeks ago. I think they got wrong info or was trying to play it safe.
My estimated delivery is the 21st. This Thursday via FedEx.
I was browsing Reverb and saw this... Ibanez EHB1505MS 5-String Tropical Seafloor Flat Headless Multiscale Bass w/ GigBag + Free Ship (73) | C&M Music Center - Kenner | Reverb
Looks like your bass...?
I have both 1005ms and 1505ms in hand within A weeks of ordering, form reverb merchant city in UK and the other from adorama. Originally ordered from sweetwater but kept being pushed back (not their fault). I figured early in there would be a shortage on preorder deliveries because factories would be shut down. If you all scout reverb you might still find some. I saw very few 1506ms models on reverb a few weeks back, those are gonna be even harder to find. The condition of the basses I received were from unopened boxes. Both play well and only need minor set up. I won’t go into other observations since others have already reviewed, but my observations are in line with what has already been said.
There are still some 1506 models on Reverb, but they're all pre-orders as well.
Yep no 1506 in the wild as far as we've seen. Just the NAMM bass and the one that went to an endorser.
There’s a few locations!! Thats one of them. Not sure if they share a Reverb page. They said it was the only one they had. Maybe they the post up. ** Shrugs **
