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

Yeah, Jim Glen; haven't seen him around in quite some time.

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.

so I just got an email that said my 4003 is on it's way and I guess it's coming via UPS. Hopefully it gets here next week!

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

2 days, don't forget! Not a minute sooner than that.

Yeah I know the drill...that's going to be the most excruciating part of it If only it were summertime...

Probably better wait a week just to be sure...

Oh, you're mean!

I think I'll just wait till june...you know just to be on the safe side

Yeah, that'll definitely do it...

Well, if you're gonna do that, just send it to stay with me until June. It's not freezing here.

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

Okay fine, you do that. See if I send you a 4003 if it's too hot here!
