karlfer Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1403727628' post='2485747'] Taste and discernment are [i]very [/i]subjective... but it's quite wrong of course. Still... I don't have to look at it, do I? How long have you been quoted for completion, Karl? Is Mark's lead time getting longer yet? [/quote] Am I speaking to this censor of taste????? Yeah, he can't help being southern You will look at it my lad To be honest Mark, I didn't ask. When I had my SEI made I was quoted 4 months, it ended up being 10. I am that much in love with my MEXICAN FSR, waiting isn't really an issue. At Friday night's gig I actually had a punter come up and say that the bass just seemed to be an extension of my body. He's out of hospital tomorrow the cheeky git Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
