Tbone,
As it turns out this bass was ordered in 2006 from Basscentral. The
exact bass I wanted was one of the five that was due in August. I got
pictures and selected the
scale and matching pickup covers. It doesn't take 2 years to build. It
takes 2 years
to get a reasonable place in a line that is is 2 years long. When I
purchased mine
they had not started it. I was able to take a big jump in line. Give
Basscentral a call.
Joey from Fodera told Basscentral has 2 more Emperors and an Imperial
on their way
to Basscentral now and about 5 Ying Yangs that are due much later.
I'll send some pics later.

GOD bless,

Bryan
