John, do you have an ETA on yours?  MF claims availability on 9/30/08

Wish I wasn't closing on my new house in October  :sad: :sad: :sad:

Not yet, but we were promised the first ones in September. I sent them an Email but had not heard back yet.

It gave me GAS from the beginning. The only new bass I have bought, knowing I will take a beating on it if I decide to flip it.

 :sad: :sad: No congrats for me :sad: :sad: :sad:  I'm closing on my new house in October!!  While I'm excited to have nice new house this means - new fridge ( left the old one at the house we sold was a semi-beater ) new gas dryer as the new house is gas and our 23 year old Whirlpool is electric :sad:  Plus all of the extra stuff that goes with a new house - blinds, furntirue and all of the extras

I'm kinda hoping that one shows up on Ebay in a few months 8) as I have a nice Stingray that I'll sacrifice for it ;D

I'm looking forward to getting one of these eventually. I prefer passive electronics most of the time, so the stock setup will be fine by me. I wanted to get in on the Dudepit III, but now that I know I can get close to the same thing anyway, I don't feel so bad that I couldn't.

One of the prettiest basses I've seen!

Nice. Nice and deep. I especially liked the sound on Born To Be Wild.

I really want one now!   :sad:  Of course I would have to dig up some of my emergency money from the back yard to buy one and I can't bring myself to spend any real cash nowadays >:( :sad:
