*Production Time & Availability*
     Production time for a new Bass is now averaging only 3-4 months depending on the model. We have worked hard to reduce the waiting time and now we are just starting to see the fruits of our efforts while still maintaining our high quality standards.
 Since there are only a few Basses listed below on the Stock List,  please
call us
to inquire about ordering. If there is a similar Bass in progress that will take less time, we may offer you that option.
