thats where i've got mine on order from. Hope to get an update next week on when i might get delivery

Apparently mine has shipped, although the UPS tracking number doesn't seem to work. Been a month of waiting now.

To the previous two posters from the UK, why wait until Bass Direct or anywhere else has them? Odering from the US is the way to go, even with VAT added you will pay less than retail here. There are quite a few on-line retailers with stock at the moment.

Understandable.

I did the math, and did consider it.

However, for the final price difference, while i did work it out to be about £100 cheaper, I'd rather pay £100 more and have a warranty. Plus the guys at Bass Direct are good to deal with. I like keeping 'local' when I can.

I just ordered a 6.0 yesterday. I was told about four weeks.

My 6.0 head finally shipped after ~3 weeks or so.

Just received my Shuttle 6.0 from Glenn at Bass Specialties yesterday afternoon. Great guy, and local Phila bass player! This amp sounds fantastic with all 4 cabs I have here. The Bergantino NV215, AE410, AE210, and Epi UL410(I). I still won't get to test it at a gig for another 2 weeks though.

 

[smitcat]

my 6.0 112 combo should be here within 2-3 weeks. This is the longest I've ever had to wait for anything bass related, and its killing me. I don't know how you custom bass shoppers can wait 8 or 9 months!

Zzounds.com and American Music Supply has the heads in stock.

Seems like an amazing number of people have bought or have ordered a Shuttle and are posting about it here. I have not seen any other new product get this amount of attention with this number of people buying.

How many people bought one simply due to reading about it on TalkBass?

(Me, for one!)

 

[svtb15]

I bought mine after hearing it at NAMM... i was floored by what it can do... It is my main gig head now.. with a great DI

 

[wazzel]

Still no amp. The shop is going to check on it Monday for me. Hopfully good news.

Beautiful! How many have you shipped total to date? It's gotta be a record in the amp industry.

Guilty as charged.

And, it's not the first time.

However, when you look at the specs on paper, it's hard to ignore, and the G-B guys certainly represent the company well here. How can you go wrong?

Cheers,
Kevin

I ordered my Shuttle 6.0 & carry bag on March 10.

The initial lead-time quoted by the seller (and his responses to my weekly follow-up calls) was: "We should be getting them in next week."

The vendor called me on Wednesday to say he expected to [actually] receive mine on April 14. By the time it gets here, it is very likely that six weeks will have elapsed.

Although there are probably small critters with shorter gestation periods, I'm willing to wait based upon all of the positive feedback here on TB What a great forum!
