Thanks Guys...

By the way, it's been 30 degrees for the past two nights, with wind chill temps in the teens to twentys.... It's coming UPS GROUND from North Carolina, which has been just as cold. High today here in Florida is only 60, so do you think it will need some "time in the box" to come to room temp? Should I do the 24 hour thing?

48 MORE HOURS :!:

That's just wrong! :lol:

I get to sit here and stare at the nice cardboard box for two more days huh?
Well, I guess it's better that having the Crackles to look at for the years I hope to have this bass for!

Woody, you honestly like the crackles huh? I'm just too OCD, that would drive me INSANE............er! :lol:

I like that "protect thy investment".....Lots of TIME as well as the cost into this one that's for sure.

Man....48 hours from when it arrives....I KNOW my luck, it will be here a 7pm tonight! :x

I had mine for a week, but sent it back to have the polarity issue looked at. The hardest part about the return was waiting for the card to arrive in California. Hopefully it will be turned around relatively quickly and I'll get to keep for a lot longer next time :mrgreen:

Tony, I let mine stay in the box for about 24 hours and it sat in a UPS warehouse for a weekend when it was cold. 24 hours should be fine.

Thanks Ryan,

The UPS guy DROPPED and I MEAN DROPPED it off and left!

18:33 EST The Ups man ran up to the door, rang the bell and TOOK OFF!

No signature, no nothing.

SURE GLAD I WAS HOME!

Now, the TICK TOCK begins.....

The box was REALLY COLD, it was about 41 degrees when he dropped it off.

I'm hoping she warms up quickly! :mrgreen:
