Looking forward to seeing how that black pg is going to look on the walnut. (I think it's gonna be killer!)

Yeah, I wish Chris could update his "deposit" listing and eliminate the ones who have received their basses, so you could see where we're at in line.

Yeah, I'm not happy. I text with Chris 13 days ago to tell him about the Walnut S basses popping up, like daises, for sale on eBay/ I put down a $200 deposit with PotR because I thought Chris would get them first. Now I'm stuck waiting as they pop up for sale on eBay and I sit and watch!!
I contacted Chris again yesterday and told him I've seen a few more for sale. What give??. He replied he was going to contact RIC to see what the hold up was. I've not heard back. Others here have mentioned that his site has not been updated so guys on his wait lists can't figure out where they stand in line and what has been delivered.. I can since I'm #1 for a Walnut 'S", but I'm no closer to knowing when I'll have one.
Chris' stock in instruments is nearly non existent and that is a worrying site. Chris is a stand up guy and I've enjoyed every transaction with him and PotR, up until now.
Maybe others need to start applying pressure. If I could get my $200. refunded, I'd cancel my order and buy one off eBay, in an instant!!!

Even awesome dealers like PotR are unfortunately subject to the unpredictable, strange whims of those in charge at RIC. It's not Chris's fault in any way.
Remember in the not too distant past when we all whined that RIC never introduced any new models at all, and the wait for any new Rick was 3-4 years?

There is also the possibility of credit hold or other financial reasons that POTR may not be getting instruments in.
