Mark, I have two coming and don't really need two. If they get here in one piece and you want it, I could sell you the blue one for what I have into it. I hate to see a nice girl cry by not getting what she wants...

 I was a non believer and I backed out  :-[ I emailed Roman, I want back in. Hope they do a second run.

Scott, from what I understand, this is the second run. I'll bet since you contacted him you'll get a reply. It may take him a while, but you'll get either an invoice or a request for your shipping info so they can prepare an invoice. Also, the give about a week for payment on the invoice and will cancel it if payment isn't made within that time. I changed my order so I got a second invoice anyway, but my first had been canceled without them saying anything so I'm glad I wrote again!

Scott, although I asked for your bird and told Roman about nothing became of it. When I got invoiced for the one I was in line for I just sent payment figuring a bird in the hand was better than nothing. I would still like a second one and I did express that to Roman, but got no response. But unless you were sent an invoice and told Roman you were backing out your name should still be on the list.

Well, well see what I've missed!

What ( if anything ) did you guys do to get a response from RoMan? I got notification that mine was ready and to send my shipping address for a quote ( did that ) next ( about a month later ) I received a message asking if I still wanted one. My reply was Yessssssss..............what the shipping going to be.....invoice? etc. and now....................nothing ??? What didshipping, etc. come to? I'm still interested but don't have any idea of a total cost.

Cheers and glad some of these are finall showing up here in the States,

Those pics look great! That bass suits you well, Rob!

With regard to Roman and emails, I've had at least two answered within 24 hours. Most are answered in anywhere from 3-5 days. One or two were never answered. Once I decided definitely to get one I was persistent (while trying not to make him think I was stalking him  ;D) and would write again after a week or so if I didn't hear back.

I hope it sounds as good as his Hobbits did. It's hard to replace the tone he got from them.

I've removed the brown stains on the finish of mine!!! With a little spit'n'polish. Always works wonders with brown stains.
