Looks like that should be one sweet bass! That Radiation Green is an attention getter!

Just curious...Why did you order an Ivory nut when all the other accessories are black?

Sounds pretty much exactly like my plans except for with a red tort guard!

Good luck on the time frame. I ordered mine on Oct. 19th and still don't have it.

I couldn't wait so I got mine from the in stock page. It's an excellent bass! I think you'll be pleased.

I'm glad you pointed that out, I didn't even realize that, must've been a miss click on the mouse. I'll email them about that.

That's crazy. Have they given you any updates on when it should arrive? Let me know when you get yours so I can guesstimate when I might get mine.

funkybass:

My original completion date was Dec. 9th from a post card they sent, although salesman Steve originally thought I should have it by late November. Humans have been known to make mistakes- they installed a standard headstock when I had ordered an Icon one. So, the revised completion date was Dec. 20th. What prevented them from completing it by that date is a mystery. I called a coupla days after the 20th cause I didn't get the word that it shipped and was told I should have it "early next week". So, I checked again this Tuesday and was told "well they didn't quite get it finished last Friday" and that the whole factory is shut down this week for the holidays.

I feel like they screwed something else up and I'm being lied to. I'm asking for free priority shipping at this point...

I ordered mine Dec 17 from Flock himself. He said 5 weeks so I am hoping before the EOTM

Nice bass, that is a great color. I want one too...

I've been ogling that bass for about a year now. GAS-ing real bad for it. I played a few up at the Sacramento, CA store, and attended a Sekou Bunch's clinic (which just turned out to be a big sales pitch for the bass). Still love that bass, though.

When it arrives, POST UP PICTURES, or it doesn't exist!
