:yawn:

Wait is closer to 3 years, depending on the complexity of the project.

I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

A guy that ordered his bass in december of '04 is getting his in 2-4 weeks.

I KNOW. I didn't believe Carl when he told me.

He said it looks really fantastic. He used some really great looking cocobola and there are a bunch of different woods in there. He said I'm going to love it and he was really excited. WHOO!
