Got mine... played it a bit... Was OK... but I sent it back because I'd rather have a Caparison...

When I read the first sentence, I yelled "What?" at my monitor.

The second made it all nice and funny though.

Cheeky bugger!

Since I posted The B6 question I had been locked off of the BK site. Tim and Oliver got it sorted out and I'm back on.
I've missed some long streches before but have always had the option to log on. This time I had no choice, scary.

Update: No B6 yet...................waiting........................waiting.....................waiting

Anybody know if there are any B6s still available?
I was just going to get a B7 I've got ordered, but hopefully there is a B6 that isn't spoken for available.. the Canadian dollar is doing very well against the pound right now and I want to take advantage :)

I think they have all been spoken for some time ago. Doug is not even accepting orders on 2009 production anymore.  However, if that were a B2 you were waiting for I'd be looking to do some horse trading, so to speak. 8)

I'm one of the ones in on the 2009 production.. I had a deposit in for a B6, and as soon as he opened the books for customs, I changed over right away. I was hoping that B6 was still orphaned, and I could re-adopt it, but no luck I guess :(

The Blackmachine B6 arrived on Wednesday morning. Doug mailed it on Monday in England, and it arrived on my door step on  Wednesday in New York, USA. TOTALLY SWEET! The B6 is everything I could ask for in a guitar.  The sound is resonant and sweet plugged in or not. Moreover, it just feels right, which is of major importance.

Pron and a review will have to follow in a new thread as soon as I get a little playing time in on it. There were some keen changes made to the B6 from what was shown on the Blackmachine web site, and I think most, if not all, were for the better. More on that later...

Excellent, interested to see how they look with the swamp ash body instead of idigbo. What pickups did you go for?
