Hi,

I got my brandnew Bamboo Grand a week ago, without a long wait from a cancellation.

Regards, Andi

I'm 14 months in on a 12-str Railboard. Order confirmed November 30, 2021. After having read this thread I guess it will catch up on me summer 2023. My hope was to have it for the summer tour -22 but I had to do those concerts with the SG-12, which wasn't a bad thing I don't mind waiting, it is nice to have something to look forward to.

Part of the problem with long wait times from countries outside of the USA is that the currency exchange fluctuates. When I had ordered my plum anodized Railboard from SE, the Canadian dollar was almost on par with the USD. After several months of waiting, the Canadian dollar shifted dramatically and I cancelled my order. In Canada, we typically pay 30% more for the same US product, plus we pay horrible duty, shipping and taxes on top of it all. I was lucky enough to purchase both my Stick $1200 CAD and Railboard $2500 CAD within Canada. I love the StickUp on my Angico Stick for it's incredible tone. I struggled with the tone on my Railboard for a long time, until I tried Newtone strings and then I was very happy.

I was originally using the Strymon Big Sky, TimeLine and Mobius trio. When I managed to acquire the Helix Floor second hand, the game had changed. It is now my preferred effects unit for my Railboard. My Angico Stick is permanently setup with the Fender Mustang Micro with a 10amp battery pack. I wasn't happy with this unit at first, until I found a setting with all green LEDs that works really well for me. This is the 1957 Twin amp with the Modulated Reverb Effects. I either play plugged into my home stereo with 15" bass drivers or with my Team Corsa edition Westone IEMs. The Angico Stick is tuned Classic and the Railboard is tuned RMR. Both instruments get played very often. I recently purchased the Kemper Profiler Stage and it gets used a few times a week with my PRS Custom 24. If anyone plays guitar, I highly recommend the Kemper.



I purchased all of Bert Meulendijk's profiles. They are really good.

Absolutely! The GB pound was a good bit stronger when I placed my order (late September '21, originally a Grand Railboard, but since changed to a 12 string Grand bamboo). At least the has recovered a bit from last year's low now. I hope it manages a bit more before the new Stick is ready.

And then there will be 20% tax to add at customs...

The worse the exchange rate the greater the value that 20% tax is based, so double whammy.
