grumpyguts Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 After much deliberation I ordered a Marcus Miller V7 Vintage Alder-5 AWH. Thomann had stock when I placed the order. Oh dear, I get an email telling me it wont be available till Jan 17. So what to do? The Swamp Ash one is apparently available but is about £60 more. What would you do, wait or spend the extra?

markstuk Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) I'd spend the extra.. But then I would have bought the swamp ash one anyway :-) Edited September 18, 2016 by markstuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I'd say change your mind & get something completely different - 'cos it seems that you're not totally commited & in love with what you ordered in the first place - or you wouldn't be asking us lot It'll end in tears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) Working for a major retailer as I do, permitting over orders at sale time is not unusual - abandoned baskets lock out stock that could otherwise be sold and sometimes retailers get caught out when those baskets do actually finish or an earlier order's allocated stock proves to be substandard or damaged and thus unshippable Edited September 18, 2016 by Geek99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Do you think there's a notable difference between both models? Would it be tone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 If I were buying a sig instrument I`d go for the most authentic version, so whichever body material Marcus` actual bass is made of would be my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) Swamp ash will be a little lighter (and we all know wood makes no difference to the sound of a solid electric instrument, don't we? ). If you can afford the extra £60, I'd go for it. Edited September 18, 2016 by Dan Dare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Well, they say more are available in 4 days time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyguts Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 That is a lovely thing (except for pu guard) but.. Somewhat more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
