So, being the Megadeth fan I am, I was excited when last year's NAMM 2011 introduced David Ellefson's RIP Signature Concert basses.

I preordered a 5-string Quicksilver bass from my favorite dealer in Colorado and waited all year....and I'm still waiting...over a year later....with emails that just say that it's coming soon....WHEN!?

Hell, my Axe Fx II came sooner and it was on a huge backorder!

It doesn't take this long to even custom order a Jackson Custom Shop guitar! My friend's V took less than a year to produce...

What is Jackson doing over there in the factory?

Do I have to wait till NAMM 2013 to get my RIP basses?

*grumble, sneer, twitch*

You know, I like Jackson guitars very much and there is much love and respect, but when you throw a few thousand bucks and you can't have the product in your hand for over a year, you get a little disappointed...

Who's got the ball? ...cuz I think someone dropped it...

wow this is sad because there are sooooo many dealers who stock them now. a YEAR wait? hell I would have cancelled that 11 months ago.
