[eddie knuckles]

I am in NJ this w/e and went to the local SA store in Paramus. Not only did they not have anymore (which was bad enough), but I had to watch the guy ahead of me walk out with the last one (floor model - a blue one) with a HUGE smile on his face... I did wish him well after I told him how bad it sucked to see him leaving with the "last one". The sales guy in the store helped me and found there were 3 in Edison, NJ (about 40 miles away). I called the store, yes they had 'em, and put one aside for me (God love GPS). I Garden State Parkway'ed it to the store, and there it was (insert theme music here). There was a guy who drove up from Maryland to pick one up on my way over there according to the sales/manager guy, and they had ONE LEFT as I left the store. On my way home, I kept thinking I should have bought that one as well.... Oh well.

The moral of the story - CALL THE STORES - They got shipments in ths last week - The Edison store didn't have any on display. CALL CALL CALL!!!!

I got a black one. It is very nice. Haven't really opened it up past 3 on the volume yet, but man, it does the R+B soul revue thing very, very nicely. Just wish it had reverb.
