I ordered one of these on the 23rd before the offer ran out. It is in shipped status as of today and is in Germany. 

How long does it typically take to ship from this point? 

Looks like the long lead times are sorted either way, and with the fall in the USD it worked out £202 inc tax which looks pretty good for what it does. 

Took about 8 days for mine to arrive after that point. Cost me just over 220 so you got a nice little saving there. Every penny counts!!

I think the current lead time is about 4 weeks from ordering.

Just received mine today, ordered on 12 August so just under 3 weeks from order to delivery.

Mine was 5 days from being entered to their system to arriving at my door. 4 working days as one of those was a Sunday. So I'd imagine yours will probably arrive before the week is out.

Ordered on 15th August and it arrived today, 17 days!!!!

There’s no user manual included right? Just the quick start guide?

Slightly off the main subject but I heard one of the Positive Grid Bias Mini Bass heads last night and it sounded fantastic, but I've mentioned before that I've tried a mate's Spark and was very impressed.

Incidentally, I've noticed Sparks coming up for sale on FB sites like Guitars For Sale UK and all at the same purchase price or cheaper (£200-250), which is reasonable.

Yeah: over the fortnight I've been watching them, prices seem to have dropped like a stone in the used market, presumably as more of them hit our shores/people wise up to the fact that besides 'tax' (i.e. UK VAT) there are no other hidden charges when ordering from the manufacturer.

Glad to hear you/your mate are happy with the things.  Looking forward to getting my grubby mitts on mine.

He ordered a second one and that arrived and it took 5 wks this time around and it sounds like they're on top of the waiting times.
