Thanks Guys...

By the way, it's been 30 degrees for the past two nights, with wind chill temps in the teens to twentys.... It's coming UPS GROUND from North Carolina, which has been just as cold. High today here in Florida is only 60, so do you think it will need some "time in the box" to come to room temp? Should I do the 24 hour thing?

Go ahead and do the full 48... protect thy investment.

we will be watching for your saturday post,tony! it has been in the low 20's in memphis,so i would err on the side of caution....unless you like crackly finishes like i do !

Howdy Folks ! 1st post here Congrats on the Killer & rare BBR Mine is on the way too , will be here tomorrow I'm SH on that list ^^^ I think it's indeed the last one , phewww... count'n the seconds now , oh man 'O man

48 MORE HOURS

That's just wrong!

I get to sit here and stare at the nice cardboard box for two more days huh?
Well, I guess it's better that having the Crackles to look at for the years I hope to have this bass for!

Woody, you honestly like the crackles huh? I'm just too OCD, that would drive me INSANE............er!

I like that "protect thy investment".....Lots of TIME as well as the cost into this one that's for sure.

Man....48 hours from when it arrives....I KNOW my luck, it will be here a 7pm tonight!

Cool! better check that camera has got batteries Tony?
there is no way your going to wait to open that case! Tony to himself" a small peek just to check" Opening up that case is one of the best experiences.Enjoy.

Well, you've waited this long, what's another 2 days, right? That would make it Saturday.
I have an cool idea for the unpacking!!

stunning beauty !

I had mine for a week, but sent it back to have the polarity issue looked at. The hardest part about the return was waiting for the card to arrive in California. Hopefully it will be turned around relatively quickly and I'll get to keep for a lot longer next time

Tony, I let mine stay in the box for about 24 hours and it sat in a UPS warehouse for a weekend when it was cold. 24 hours should be fine.

Thanks Ryan,

The UPS guy DROPPED and I MEAN DROPPED it off and left!

18:33 EST The Ups man ran up to the door, rang the bell and TOOK OFF!

No signature, no nothing.

SURE GLAD I WAS HOME!

Now, the TICK TOCK begins.....

The box was REALLY COLD, it was about 41 degrees when he dropped it off.

I'm hoping she warms up quickly!

Put your favorite blanket around it and put on a lonnnnnngggg movie or read Atlas Shrugged to pass the time.

Congrats Tony. This is exiting.........
