Due to the volume of orders we have decided to temporarily close our order book.
This will allow time to work on some new ideas which have been on the back-burner for a while.

Sounds interesting, maybe they are going to reissue some past models...?

But it's nothing to lose your head over...

[Hellzero]

Maybe it's because of the carbon footprint.

Yes, it's all a bit of a matrix this waiting list and i certainly don't have any empathy for them...

Personally, I wait for post new year. Maybe April to coincide with the new financial year for a massive price increase across the board. Oh, and a 10th Kingbass because there just has to be another one as if they didn't do one people wouldn't be able to play Mr Pink.

With Mark King now exclusively playing Jaydee's at his most recent gigs, I wonder if this has any bearing on the stop on new orders?

I don't think that has anything to do with it and I of course was being sarcastic. MK fans have done very well for Status. I think Rob is probably doing the Electro 4 and maybe the Alex Venturella bass. Who knows, they might even update their website.

They might upgrade it to be JavaScript and flash compatible and optimise it for Netscape Navigator…?

[Guest]

Have they said when they will return to the status quo?

Yeah. It's pretty grim.

To be honest it would be better if you could just get whatever you want…

[jd56hawk]

Good, better than telling someone they'll get their bass in February and then making them wait until August.

Plenty of other companies have been doing just that.

[merello]

I’d like to thank them four stringing us along!

[Hellzero]

So, bendwell then.

Maybe a stealth price increase?

Funnily enough, I'd be after a Stealth, but I'll see how much stuff goes up in price.

[TheGreek]

Maybe Dawn and Rob are planning to keep it the family....
