On the 17th of October I visited my local Toronto music store(Cosmo Music) inquiring about buying a Jackson JS3 bass. They've got a bunch of Jackson electrics in store, and they work with Jackson CS guitars, but no basses. However, one of the employees said that they can special order one and ship it to the store, so I've paid a deposit, and now I'm waiting... How does that affect the order time, and when could I expect it to arrive?

i guess it depends on what other store your store is getting it from and how long it takes to ship it to your store for pickup, there is NO shortage of those JS3's anywhere.
