It shall return, once the disappointment fades. Which usually happens pretty quickly once you realize May is coming whether you like it or not.

This is not surprising. With every passing year it seems Roland has been taking longer and longer to get their NAMM products in the stores. Considering the "G" was in rough prototype form at NAMM, I'm thinking practically it will be more like July/August. Sorry to bum people out, but that's how it's been in previous years. In the meantime it would be nice to get some new videos and MP3 demos from Roland.

And maybe Artemio will get his own prototype with which to convert his Planet libraries over to

I would expect a delay into May but if it starts to pan out to the summer that will be disappointing. Don't get me wrong I want the product right but if it drags out to July and August it will be a pain for me.......

patience is a virtue I suppose.

Please make it May Roland.....

a slight time slip is not surprising if you know Roland

its more important they get it right, anyway

Agreed, do not let your gear lust overcome your good sense and patience... it's been a blessing in disguise that I was occupied with a wedding this past summer, as I've been able to ignore all the new gear! Rule of thumb: wait for version 1.2!! 1.0 will be barely usable, 1.1 will fix the things you hate, 1.2 will fix the things you hate a little better, and 1.2 will be just tolerable.

Honestly, wait for 2.0.

in May??? maybe in Greenland not in US.
My local Guitar Center told me they are shipping next month.

Then your local guitar center will probably tell you next about a small delay, and then later about the next one

Re: The G won't be available until MAY!

Yes, especially shipping of things not yet delivered

Actually Roland Japan just told me that this time the new Fantoms will be transported over the ocean using inflatable girl dinosaur cakes. So indeed it will take a while.

Sammy, where did you buy your weed?

Re: The G won't be available until MAY!

4 Feb 2008, 15:25

Oh, Artemio! I don't smoke weed. I drink coffee... which in my hands, is as good as (if not better than) a fine Acapulco Gold...

P.S. YOU are one to talk!!! Inflatable Girl Dinosaur indeed...

P.P.S. The correct question is: What are you on, and how do I get some too?

Yes we did.
