...just wondering if anyone heard any updates on when the LP ships besides "Summer". Here in Texas summer started two or three months ago.

I'm would really love a LP but I need to try and get a synth within the next few weeks. Any idea when they are actually looking to distribute these new buggers?

Boy, you said it. Here in Austin yesterday's rain is today's stifling hummidity. It would be nice to cool off with some, um, hot synth sounds... However you want to put that.

up here in canada summer starts in a month or two... i guess we'll have to go with the moog summer whenever that is...

How funny - I'm in Austin too! I threw a BBQ this Saturday and nearly pulled it all off without rain(but a lot of humidity) until the sudden torrential outburst that doomed me, my brisket, and my poor pit in the middle of the yard. Let's just say the weather has been a bit trying the last several weeks...

I believe if you ordered from a dealer, then 7/21 seems about right. Thats when they will have the units in their hands and be ready to ship. Thats probably an estimated date (approx two days after they actually receive em)..

If you preordered through Moog directly, shipments should go out around the 15th of July. We will be on tour so I'm gonna have one sent express UPS to San Fran (where we'll be for a gig and my wifes bday) and have the other sent to my house).. I can't wait.. I hoping to have my ( I mean my wife's) LP in San Fran on July 17th....

However, something could always set the date back. Or spring it forward

!!!!!! Now that Mr. Glyph is working for Moog, maybe we'll see those babys built in half the time... Get to work son.. Just Kidding....

Thanks for the updates guys....seems like it can't come soon enough. I put myself on the list - I couldn't resist.

The LP's were all set to go off the assembly line, but one of the parts from China had a 'major oversight' flaw in it, and so all the units are now awaiting a re-worked part from China again before shipping, eta, late August at best.

I can't/won't say whom I talked to, and I promise I'm not making it up, and that it comes from a horse's mouth.

Moog is not the first company in the industry to experience the pain of how much it ends up costing to do business blindly with a Chinese parts facility...it's very hard work, and dividends aren't realized for years on consistant production... but alas, to me, the LP will be worth it at $1375!

seems reasonable enough...

Hmm.. I talked to a "horse (or source rather)" at moog too... but late August was never confessed...
Hope thats not true.. I heard we're still online for Late July..

I' can't wait either

Man, I hope that this is NOT TRUE!!!

Now that I have made the decision to buy and paid some money down, I am VERY anxious and have been counting the days.

For me, this is the equivalent of being a 6-year-old who has been counting the days until Christmas, only to be told at Thankgiving that Christmas has been moved to Valentines Day!

AHUGGHHHH!!

- waiting on pins and needles here - I wish I could go on and drive the short distance to Asheville and pick mine up now

I certainly hope that the other components won't flake out any time soon after delivery - and this brings up a question. Any "horses" or little birdies out there know if there are going to be any proprietary/custom components that might not be available in the future should they fail? I'd like to know that my expensive new acquisition will be protected and easily serviced in its (hopefully) long life.

I personally would rather wait a little longer and get a Moog built well & tested thoroughly than one rushed out the door to make an already delayed production date. Of course I didn't put money down on my LP yet...just on the waiting list right now.

From the latest Moog emailing:

We are very glad to announce the production date for the Little Phatty. We plan to enter into production on July 19, 2006. The task of hand-building each Little Phatty will carry on the tried-and-true tradition of providing the highest quality instruments for our customers. Inevitably, it will also mean that there will be a wait for some of you to receive your new synth. We really appreciate your patience. We will work extremely hard to fulfill orders as quickly as possible. In the meantime, we have uploaded some new sound samples for your listening pleasure.

Looks like the information is correct. Most of us will be waiting until sometime in August before we see our LP.... DARN!
