My custom Bass Speaker was delivered October of 2011. That was 18 months after I ordered it. It took a lot of calling Serio at Dr. Bass and enlisting the aid of the US Postal Inspector Service. On top of it all, I had to pay for shipping (tho the $75 was included in the orgonal money I had sent already).
What happened was the BBB in South Carolina put out a nationwide alert on Dr. Bass, the local TV news in Myrtle Beach covered it, and then Serio finally got around to making good on a few orders, mine too. He was not at all gracious about it, either, but he did it.
Before BBB sounded the alarm, tho, many good people who were similarly defrauded by Dr. Bass sought the help of as many state and local officials (who were not much help), and websites, as they could, like Talkbass.com, Ripoff-report.com, and similar forums. They are the ones who are really deserving of thanks. I understand that many many people still are without the goods they ordered and have paid for.

Today I received a message form Kim at Parts Express who said that the Eminence Speaker (tweeter) that Dr. Bass uses has not been in stock since March. Due to production problems. Now due in on October 8th. This is the fourth date I have heard that this part is going to be available by. This whole thing is shaky, but her verification lends some credence to Dr. Bass' story.

Marc Serio says he is waiting on Eminence tweeters for the bass cabinet I ordered, and for many others. His supplier's website indicates that they will be in on Set. 24th.
