It's not here yet, cheese danish can still come my way :-)
 
I guess I shouldn't be guessing but I guess it's a neat case?

I'm afraid the pastry goes to New Jersy this time, though I'm still holding my breath.
 
Did you get my reply Mica?
 
Maybe the case fits so perfectly tight, they can't get the bass out for final inspection :-)

NO WAY DUDE. MINE IS STILL IN RUBOUT! The Danish or Strudel is yours. It's about 2 years since I put in the order, so folks can use that as a gauge. There is something special about black finishes that takes more attention to detail I guess. But it won't be long now for you. Ride the lightning!

My mistake, got the bet mixed up... (thought the winner had to give instead of take)
 
Allrighty, looks like the pastry is going to Holland then... (still, still holding my breath)  
I'll collect it at your next European tour if that's ok with you :-)

Hope I don't stand on Mica's toe, but can't resist posting this pic. Sorry for the lame extraction tech., I'm learning :-)  

  Should be here early December

Perfect example of why I love Elans... even black ones.  
What is the engraving?

Got a quote for a Series II bass instead of tracking data...  
 
Pakjesavond gaat het niet meer worden ben ik bang... :-(
 
We're running out of studio time, should I plea for some extra days or would that be a futile effort?
