Campaign ends on 5/4 and it looks like it still only has 67% funding. :( My fear is it won't happen. Doesn't look like righties are interested either). I tried spreading the word. Posted mention on a lefty Facebook forum, sent Arni a message (he didn't bother making any mention on his site, for some reason).

Great news, guys. The Rockerbox bass is happening!

I just spoke to Mike. While the crowd fund fell just short of reaching 100%, he has agreed to produce the 8 piece minimum, as he does believe they will sell. he said the ETA on production will be late August, however. So I guess we sit tight.

My Rockerbox arrived yesterday. After a few tweaks, it plays and sounds wonderful. I love this bass despite some little idiosyncrasies. I'll go into detail when I do a full review later.
