The guys at Austria EMS really messed up... after keeping Simon's bass in their warehouse there for a month, somehow they accidentally sent it BACK TO US. Simon's name and address and phone number were CORRECT on the waybill (and plastered all over the package as well!) The official reason for it being returned was at the bottom of the list: "Other" (with no reason filled in the space provided) I am not sure what those guys in Austria are smoking, its got to be some pretty BADASS weed.  We will re-pack it and ship out again this week! |

well.... all that I can say is that it is a nice bass. Ofcourse it is unfortunate that you have to wait this long, that is just a pain in the ass, but indeed, keep in mind that in other customshops, one has to wait sometimes even more than a year! my " local" luthier has a waitinglist of more than 1.5 years, and another one, just around my corner has a waiting list of SEVEN!!!!!! years, so i think, waiting just over a year for an instrument is not something out of the ordinary. and I have to agree with mr. Walker; guitarbuilding is an art, not a science. if it were, computerbuild guitars would be THE best available. and guess what: it is not. besides, this whole thing reminds me of this quote: how can one know the sweet without the sour? i think you will like your bass a hell of a lot more, when it is finally there.

"a hell of a lot" is the key phrase, i think.. actually the general concensus in our shop is that this bass is actually CURSED (due to its pentagram fretboard inlay).. Due to a very strange coincidence in timing in illnesses and vacations on our staff, crafters schedules got skewed and the original artwork shrivelled up in the days when it was left unattended without a lacquer clearcoat. later, we had big delays when the parts and electronics for this bass (which were shown in our parts reserve computer inventory) could not be located in the warehouse when it was time to install them. Strangest of all, we had a delay of several months because the crafter who was originally supposed to make the pentgram inlay mysteriously fell ill, and then none of our other crafters wanted to do it ( for religious reasons, apparently!) those are just a few examples i can think of off-hand ( the mysterious shipping problem being the latest...) |

Shamray should hire some Satanic crafters!!! No more bullshit about religious reasons, just guitarbuilding. It's a pity I live so far away and that I can't make guitars. .Anyway I hope you receive your bass soon. |

...the very big surprise [img]http://www.smiliepage.de/smilies/schlaefriges/schlafen02.gif[/img]: no shamray bass in his hands yet... (Like I read, you blame the pentagram. Did the pentagram tell you to wait some weeks untill the bass could be shipped again?) |

they can only send one guitar a day (or was it a week, well, it is quite limited...) so perhaps they had to wait with shipping...? |
