F5....F5.....F5.....
MB had clarified that there'd be enough stocks on the release day. At least enough for all the WEs / WAEs out there.Bad news indeed. Reqardless of that, Q, thanks for the heads up.
I'm thinking that mark is just naking sure that they don't run out within the first day, or maybe the first hour. Plenty Gems for everyone.
That would be nice except we don't know what MB's capacity range is. We do know that every product he sends out is flawless and under strict tolerances. For all we know, he could have had a large batch made but only 50% really passed his qc. He could be personally doing a qc check on every gem. I'm fine with the wait time because he is going above and beyond most other modders out there.I would like MB to set a realistic date for release at this point.....If it is august or september then fine but set it and make sure you hit it!

just another quickie to say thanks again to Q for mediating here. It must be a pain at times - like a flock of chicks pestering mom for food...haha!
ps. do chicks actually pester for food?!?!?...anyway lets move on as this question is more for the ethology sub-forum..

Oh I know that you're not criticizing at all. I also want this Gem now but it is in fact a Gem so it takes a process to perfect.Ok, look, my post was not a criticism at all! For MB we are a significant (discusss) but presumably small part of his customer base although probably quite important in terms of word of mouth advertising etc. 'We' (and I mean I as I dont want to speak for everyone), are/am sitting here waiting on every minor update on progress via Stan. That is fun and part and parcel of the joy of it, at least to me. If he ends up releasing it at xmas, i'll still be trying to get one! As you say, it is fantastic that he just doesnt shove out some 'oh its good enough' product. As far as I can see, that is absolutely not what he is about. This is a high end product, with a high end price tag and he wants those two things to correlate, Its fantastic and really is the reason people (ie me) go for authentic devices like this. I dont 'need' another atty. I have more attys than I know what to do with but i 'want' this because I appreciate great design and great execution and Im sure MB will deliver that in his own good time!
