Yup, I cancelled the German order with the consent of the dealer as even he said he had no idea at this point in time whether and when he would get it. Gibson is unable to make delivery statements, who knows whether they will actually build the promised 300.
And the ebay seller went out of his way to be nice to me, he sent me about 20 different emails in one hour and had the bass shipped with FedEx about two hours later.
I had told him that if he really didn't want to ship to Germany one of my brethren here would help me out. Thanks for standing by!
