"Out for delivery"
- Thread starter ModulusFan
- Start date
My last Bass was also a Spector Euro. Ordered it in to a local shop here.
Was just taking a cruise past the shop one day and figured I would stop in and see what was going on. They were unboxing it the moment I walked in. It was glorious.

It has an upgraded preamp, an EMG with mid sweeps, and I don't even know what else. There are three billion tones.....still trying to dial in the one that suits my ears best. I think it's going to work for me
Nice!
I will have an "Out for Delivery" notice tomarrow in my email, but sadly no one will be home to sign for it. I will have to wait for Monday to get my package 
Its the price I pay for security. I have to have signature request on all my gear. I live near a bunch of white trash musicians that have taken several packages of mine then claim ignorance. I also have to refuse dealing with Fed-ex because their drivers are outsourced and their HQ can never get in touch with them.
I once called Fed-ex 5 minutes after a "left on front door" notice came in my email. They couldn't get in contact with the driver to tell him to turn around and deliver it to the correct address. Took me 2 weeks to get resolution, and in the end it was because the neighbors got scared, got the amp back from some pawn shop(it had chalked numbers I KNOW the seller didn't put on there) and set it on my door step after the outsourced Fed-ex driver started harrassing them.
So for 2 days I'll have "out for delivery", its like double the torture.

I received a Dean Metalman Vee bass from Musicians Friend today. It was cool, I bought the Yamaha Nathan East bass and then they sent me a coupon for $150 off my next purchase. The Dean was $199.00 on sale. The coupon dropped the price of the bass to $49.99 SHIPPED!!!!! I am pleased with the Dean too, it will take a bit of time to get used to its wings however. I am not used to them being there. The tone and construction of the Dean are very good. Again, it is a single pickup, so it is a one trick pony. Good trick though.
I'm about 1.5-3 months out....I am sure some of you have heard this story before, but I have a DJ4 (white with J-retro) and a 55-02 (in the "special" 2007 amber quilting) on order...ordered them in November and have to wait until Feb/March respectively....live in Chicago, bought them from a dealer in Seatle - Hope to pick them up at the Lakland factory myself when they are ready....it is a PAINFUL wait! e-mailed teh dealer today just to maje sure everything is on schedule....would hate to wait any longer than neccesary!
Was supposed to have the DJ4 in November, but something got screwed up (too long of a story).....talk about a let down!
Hope when I get the word(s) I am in town (I travel alot for my career) and can take a day off to go to the factory (will need that long to get there, play around a bit, and get back home)......

speaking of this I've got an order from Musician's Friend that I placed on Nov 6, 2006. The web site says shipped but I never received anything until late into december, then I received 1/3 of the order. Been going back and forth with them and somehow everything was marked shipped mid Nov in their system but never actually physically shipped (never assigned a UPS tracking #) so they've been shipping me one item at a time, then I call and they are like "...oh the last person put this in wrong we'll fix that", lol, THe last missing item is now on backorder so hopefully by February my november order will be here. The worst part is all of this was an early Christmas gift for a friend, its going to end up as a "mid-feb" gift by the time I get all of it.
OK I am completely out- the Audere showed up in the mail at work on Thursday afternoon last week...forgot to post it. It was installed in time for my gig Thursday nite! Loving it! 
60 days more until I get the "Out for delivery" for my Sadowsky. This is the 5th time that I track a Sadowsky bass and I'm more excited than ever.
What combo is yours?
Tim, VERY COOL SPECTOR. I always thought they were one of the most comfortable basses to play. I'm not waiting on any more basses for a while, but I just received this cool fly rod!
After talking and dealing for nearly 3 weeks. My Peavey B Quad 5 Fretless arrives on Friday via Fed Ex. Just in time for a 3 day weekend. Love those government schedules!
Mmmm...B-Quad 5...You're gonna love it! The graphite neck makes it really stable, especially in our heat and humidity. Once you get it, I'll let you play my B-Squared 5 to compare it against.

Yeah man, love that phrase.
I got two more old school GnL's coming in the next week.
Look for the updated "bass a day picture thread" when they get in...

I'm waiting for a New MMSR5 w/ Piezo which should be here around mid January and also for my New Lovetone Pedals (Meatball and Cheese Source) which should be here anyday. I'm really excited.
