Moments after posting the previous msg, I rec'd an e-mail changing my delivery date to 01-Feb-2014 -- a wait of four months and 1 day. :(


I originally ordered mine from a local music store on August 1st.
after 5 months of lies and BS I cancelled and ordered it from MF.
Then they claimed to have one the day after Xmass but wouldn't match MFs price
(I got a 15% discount) and they claimed it was at their other store so they did NOT
actually have it locally.
They were playing a game.

MF has until the end of March to get me one, and then it is no
new Fender guitar ever.
If I have to wait that long, I'll buy one used for dirt cheap.
There is no excuse for taking over 8 months to supply a new guitar, they are NOT
hand made by some guy in his shop, they are mass produced in Asia for dirt cheap.
Thing is, if I had gotten one I likely would have bought another guitar by now
but until I get my Bass VI I won't buy another guitar.

Yeah, and add on the fact that a couple of them that were shipped out were screwed up from the factory, so be wary of that. Unless, they actually listened about the complaints and fixed the problems with quality control. That could be the reason for the extra delay. It would be nice if they would be straight with you folks (it doesn't matter for me now, since I moved on to another brand for my Bass VI needs) and let you know the real deal. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that answer, though.

OK, it's a new day and I have a new e-mail and a new ship date . . . tomorrow! I have envisioned myself opening the carton and not wanting to look inside in case it's a dud.

CPL, after your bad experience my initial enthusiasm has waned considerably. If mine is a dud, I'll return it, start looking for a solid body 12-string and give up on the 6-string bass.

Well, hopefully that won't be the case. It would be nice to hear about one of those actually functional and no serious issues. It would be a hell of a deal then if that's the case.

AMS is has their shipments due anywhere from February 8th to the 15th, depending on model, so perhaps that is a more realistic date for that. Who knows for sure though.

It shipped and will be delivered on Friday -- 4 months and one day after placing the order. Seems almost anticlimactic. :|

Well, good luck with this. Hopefully, you won't have any issues at all. I'd be curious to see what this thing is like fully functional.

OK, it doesn't look like it is going to make it here today. Apparently the bad weather in the south has delayed it until Monday . . .

OK, it's finally here after 4 months and 4 days. The box is leaning against my office wall. I'm afraid to open it.

Well, there is only one way to find out what you have. At least you finally received it.

OK, it looks good. Certainly needs to be tuned, but I'm entertaining a customer from Europe this evening so I won't get a chance to put it through its paces.

Well, that looks promising if the neck isn't screwed up. Good to hear that.

That's great. It is actually good to see someone get one that isn't a turd. Maybe they got on the ball there with quality control.
