"ANYONE else here in the US still waiting???"

Those of us that bought from the CME are still waiting.

Peter should get a section of the Registry going for the DCM's, we can record owner, location and serial number.

I don't think the registry has been updated for several years. I think the forum takes up most of his time.

How about just starting a thread where we can list our DCM serial numbers?

BTW, Congrats Tony! You've been awfully patient. Have fun with it!

I would strongly encourage you not to post serial numbers publicly. These are very limited edition instruments and you'd only be opening up the door for some unscrupulous folks to make forgeries, possibly devaluing your own instruments.

Good point ....

"BTW, Congrats Tony! You've been awfully patient. Have fun with it!"

Thanks Greg,

I'm STILL waiting for the UPS dude to show up. It's 5:25 PM and still no "BROWN".

As far as having patience waiting for a RIC, I've said it before, I've ALWAYS been rewarded in some way while I'm wait for a RIC. Sometimes by extra added goodies (IE: Walnut Wings or the Vintage Tone Control), or some kind of highly figured wood, but I must say, the wait for my 4003FL AFG is a bit more difficult. While I was waiting for the FL, JH has stated that they were going back to the old fret dot pattern! BINGO, another reward! It pays to wait!

The real people who should be commended are the South Paws.

Very sage advice JH, thank you!

OK, after a LONG day of waiting for UPS,
it arrived after 6:20PM EST. Amazing, The UPS guy just dropped it at the door and TOOK OFF! If I wasn't WAITING at the kitchen table, LOOKING out the door, the UPS guy would have just left it there.

Out of curiosity, I Emailed UPS to ask WHO SIGNED for it, the response?

"Thank you for your e-mail. I have checked the status of your shipment in our tracking system. Our records indicate that your shipment was delivered on 04/23/07 at 6:26 PM to the following address:

Just WATCH OUT FOR YOUR DELIVERIES GUYS!!

Anyway, she arrived safe & sound, NO DAMAGE to the box, which was the first UPS delivered bass out of the last 3 to arrives without any battle scars or broken cases!

I was amazed how much LIGHTER in shade she is compared to Jdogs 360DCM. I must say, I like the lighter shade much more!

I haven't played her yet, we are going to spend some time together today!!




RIC-O-SMELL !!!!!!

Tony, I'm in the UK and I can smell it from here...!

Yep, UPS is famous for "DRIVER RELEASE FRONT PORCH". Whether or not you even HAVE a front porch, doesn't matter. In your area, maybe they still assume that the guy works and the wife is at home, so drivers will choose to say they delivered it to "A WOMAN" like they did yours. To the driver, it is just a button with a pre-prepared label on it that they press on that electronic slate they carry around.

That's purdy, Tony! It is worth taking a day off work or calling in sick, just to curl up in a comfy chair or on the couch with that new DCM, sniff the case glue, then when your head is spinning enough, plug up to the practice amp and spend all day getting new blisters on top of your old calluses just playing her

Hey Bob,

Sorry about, I'll close the case!

Elys,

"sniff the case glue, then when your head is spinning enough, plug up to the practice amp and spend all day getting new blisters on top of your old calluses just playing her".....

Tony's mantra,

I am not worthy, I am not worthy....

That's a beauty. Tony, congratulations!!

Terrific Tony! Looks awesome!!!!!
