Californiaman Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 OK, The check is in the mail. I can wait a couple more weeks for my new Telecaster, but waiting is "always" the hardest part. I've never bought a guitar over the internet, so this is the first time. I could have put it on the credit card, but I'm old fashion I guess. I like to buy things when I know I have the money to pay for them and writing a check is how I roll. It'll clear right away so I imagine a week or two at the most. What's the longest you've had to wait for a guitar or amp to be delivered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevef Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I bet Cruzn' sees this and runs to the mail box to see if they delivered his Bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 I think he has to drive down a rural logging road into a town five miles away to check his mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruznolfart Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 LOL! I jump to my keyboard to whine and you've already done it for me. I'm at a point where it probably doesn't make any sense to cancel now that it's been...wait for it...it's been...here it comes...5 WEEKS now! Congrats, Todd, on the new baby. Based on my own internet purchasing experiences I'm thinking you're gonna be tickled with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevef Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Congrats CAman... Hey Cruzn', jeez did they at least give you an ETA?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'm very patient. I even told them that if the temperature outside dips below freezing, do no ship it. Wait for a warmer day. I think Rocky had to wait like six or seven months before he got an amplifier earlier this year. Be patient Dennis. It'll be there when it gets there. What type of amp are you going to use for the bass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing through the Bassman 250 2 X 10 now and studying Eden and Hartke systems. I'm going to go ahead and build a small rig...4 X 10 and 1 X 15 or 18 driven by 500 or so. What the heck, I'm not gonna hafta schlep it around, may as well sound *****in'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 1 month and 1 week waiting for a Stratocaster Tremolo assembly, it is made to order but the initial time commitment was 10 business days. The difference is that this is just an upgrade so I can play my Stratocaster normally in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 What the heck' date=' I'm not gonna hafta schlep it around, may as well sound *****in'.[/quote'] That's why I bought my Gallien-Krueger 800RB. Sounds *****in'. Doesn't matter what type of cabinet I use. 2x10, 4x10, 15 or whatever. Good solid amplifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Surfpup, that's cool. I guess Fender is also selling a limited edition telecaster/amp combo too. Someone posted one on the Fender Forum the other day. Surf Green Guitar and Surf Green Amplifier. If I can find the link, I'll post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Here it is Surfpup. I got this off of the Fender sight. Some guy in Florida has a nice matching pair here. It's clearly Surf Green as opposed to Sea Foam Green. But it's a cool set none-the-less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I waited 14 months for a custom builder on an Acoustic and five months for a custom McPherson in both cases they had told me it would be a while but your right waiting is always tough.
