ah I think I figured out who owned it before me...does the name James Glen ring a bell?

nah it hasn't shipped yet...I only ordered it lateish friday so I'm guessing it'll ship out tomorrow (hopefully).
Aha so you get to look forward to an anticipation-filled week! I hope the new bass doesn't get stuck in customs in Montreal too long. That is frequently a bottleneck, I find...

yeah and I have bad luck with stuff like that haha. It took me 4 months to get my new SVT-VR head. I had ordered it at the very end of September and I only got it like 3 weeks ago. Was worth the wait mind you but that was a pretty excessive wait. Hopefully my Ric doesn't get held up.

And when it does get there, you get to wait for it to warm up before you can open the box. Fun times! :)

Well actually it's been unseasonably mild up here as of late...couple of real cold days last week but other than that we haven't had much of a winter. Temps are hovering right around freezing. Usually they are quite a bit bellow this time of year.

so I guess I'll just hang on to the 4003 :mrgreen:
