Tony, I really don't want to deflate, but there are at least two being waited on from POTR:

Not deflating at all John,
I'm actually waiting on a 4004Cii Blueburst from Mike P.
I'm just happy as a clam that they are shipping......Ben stated that they would be shipping by mid May.....I'm just HOPEFUL that this is the first of the batch!
I might be jumping the gun, but I'm pumped!

Doh, brain fart! I knew you ordered a BB....
It is mid-May, though you couldn't tell it by the weather around the upper midwest. May the Ciis roll out of Santa Ana!

That 4004Cii Fireglo that is going to Pick Of The Ricks is for Angelo.
Tony, hopefully your Cii Blueburst is not too far behind.
Another fellow forumite (not me, I won't say who) is getting himself a new 4003 with the full width inlays, I hope he shows it off with pics when he gets it within the next few days.

TEASE!
No problem John, my time will come.
Like I said, I'm just SO happy that hopefully they are starting to flow from the factory.
I love my vintage stuff, but I'm REALLY excited about this bass.
I'm hoping to rumble the walls with this baby.
IF it is what I'm hoping for, I'm going to pickup up an 18" Ampeg bottom to go with my 410HLF....I want to FEEL THE BASS from this one!

If I read the ricpage right, I'm fourth in line for a BBR from there. With any luck, they'll all be shipped pretty close together and nobody will have to wait long while pictures are posted. Yesterday was a little past "mid-May," though. I may have to complain

Sounds like you want a back massage from your rig! You'll need it after carrying those cabs around.

LOL, I hear you Joey....but I'm REALLY lucky in that area...The Catholic Church I play at is REALLY SWEET. I show up, and my Amp is already in place on the risers. I just hook up my bass, and I'm ready to play. Someone is even kind enough to run the 45' wire to the PA for me. I just tune and play.
Life is good!
I've been pushing for a few small ramps so all that has to be done is roll them up four, 5 inch steps. Everything is currently on wheels and I JUST HAPPEN to have a brand new dolly just looking for something to do!
Hmm, you think I'm pushing my luck with an 18"? Well, I guess I could settle for a 15"...

Most, if not all of the 4004cii's from this batch should be out the door within the next week. Not sure of the #'s though. They are stunning too. 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.

That's awesome news Eric! Will this batch include all the outstanding BBR's?

The bluebursts do look outstanding. Like John Koelling said when I got mine, "The color just pops!"
