Angelo is lucky that his shipped, I was ready to spirit that thing out the back door and into the trunk of my car! The FG's and BBR's are real lookers.

Hey Steve, gimme a shout should your arrive. I'll do the same.

Thanks Eric for posting. That is SUPER GOOD NEWS. I really do appreciate it!

I can only hope that there is enough to go around. FINGERS CROSSED!

...and let's hope the Laredos are not far behind the Cii's....

Janey probably just put an ice pack on Tony's head!

Tony hasn't posted because he's at the airport - he's got a flight to New Jersey....

Tony's is from Mike's, the other one shipped there though.

LOL!

I'm here, LATE but I'm here.........as usual, I'm LATE to the party!

EXCELLENT NEWS!

Thanks for posting guys, now all I have to HOPE that one of those going to Mike is mine!

It's going to be a L O N G WEEK! I'll call him tomorrow and see if he knows how many are coming in.

tony-you're going to love it! are the new cii's keeping their traditional neck size or slimming down? personally, i love the neck on mine,it IS thicker,but feels oh so good to play. the blue really looks nice with the gold hardware as well. can't wait to see yours!

My Ci neck is a bit wider, but it is thinner front to back so it is still a comfortable feel. I too await pictures - here's to continued shipping of the Cii basses!

Tony everyones behind you mate.Cant wait for your new arrival hope its soon.
best regards Scott

Scott, sorry about your avatar, I just couldn't help myself!

Two have now been shipped to Mike Parks. We have been told that the number on the shipping page doesn't mean the number shipped if multiple units shipped on the same day (I think I've interpreted that right), so it's possible more than two have been sent there. I just hope this doesn't represent the entire batch that Eric said should be shipped out this week. In other words, I hope Tony doesn't have to wait too long, though I still think I've been waiting longer

Thanks for the kind words Woody & Scott.

I'm fine with a neck that is wide across the fretboard, as long as it is thin from the top of the fingerboard to the bottom of the neck.

Ryan, I'm sure you are right. I've been fine with the wait all this time until my fretless came. Then, for some reason, the RAS really kicked into overdrive.
I don't think I'm normally this bad when I'm in the waiting list, but this thing taunting me! LOL!

Full report & pictures should I be lucky enough to get one soon!
