When replying to ED-209 David mentioned the ShockWave still being available for order. Like you, a satin non-slotted has been calling my name but I'd like to see a picture. Looks like we'll get to see it soon.
You're right, I missed that. Thanks.

Hi Ed,
The switch is what is commonly referred to as a "snap" action switch. The whole switch assembly slides out, so you can replace the switch yourself should it fail. I will have spare switches too they are only a few dollars. There is still a pre-order and they will be engraved with a serial number (hand engraved by me on the interior so its not visible). I would get one of these as well as a PrecisePlus. The Shockwave is the most in depth mod i've made (from a machining standpoint) and after my conversation with the machine shop (see following post) it will most likely be a limited run of them.
Well I ordered slots dammit and I'm sticking to my guns!I figured if David thought it was a cool and different design, then WTH, it looks cool to me too. I don't plan on low crawling through desert sand with it, so I'mma be OK. Who knows, I may get a satin no slot down the road.
Update as of 06/14/12:
So sadly, the Shockwave run will most likely be limited to only 400 units but on the bright side it will be a rare limited edition model. I originally designed it to be outrageous and threw caution to the wind when designing it and it looks like it's biting me in the .... a bit![]()
So am I Svengali, Rasputin, or Edgar Bergen?Makes me want to order a second one? If Snork does I will........

Now I don't know if I should stick to the shiny non slotted version or the "origina". I'm a little confused though about the satin finish. David's picture of the SW doesn't look like the P+ finish (less grey, more silver)m now you got me confused. I just want one but now I'm questioning which. Maybe I should follow you (anybody who knows the Melvins must have good taste )![]()
Good morning!
Yes the satin will be of the PrecisePlus grade and the shiny will be of the old Precise grade at a minimum.
it's still there
