Where is the best place to get a toaster pup these days? Been looking for them for a while and can't find them...

I'll chime in on the subject (First Post! Yay!)

I had the same bleed on the binding of my 6 month old Mid 4003.

Talked on the phone with Kenny (Sales Mgr) and gave me a RA to return the bass for warranty work. The guy was very pleasant to talk to and easy to get a hold of.
