Waiting for a new bass is hard

A couple of years ago I had purchased a used alembic Europa that was " out for delivery" on a Fedex truck after about a one week wait. I was at work and got the email notification that the package had been delivered and signed for by the shipping manager. When I got back to shipping the bass wasn't there. He had signed for five packages and only taking delivery of four. It was a very nerve racking 3 to 4 hours with many frantic phone calls, but the bass finally did get delivered.

Hang in there, and enjoy your new bass.

Did you have any nails left, was it on the truck or what.
 
Wait...what?

I waited (2) YEARS for one of these:

And it was worth it!
 
Have one on a FedEx truck right now but i'm on a plane going the other direction tomorrow. It should get delivered to work on Thu, and I fly back in around midnight Thu. Work is on the way home from the airport so I'll get the first glance then. And if I can stay up for a bit at 3AM EST, then I'll wake the neighbors...
