Ricky(Chaos9),
Sean is right. Unfortunately that is an issue that your dealer has
to address. The same thing happened to me in "99" when I got my P2K
from my local Guitar Center. 2 months after I got it, they had a
promo for a "free" Protozoa ROM with the purchase of a P2K. When I
got the mailing and called my salesman, he told me to come in and
that he would take care of it. Knowing that I really did not need
that particular ROM, he made me a great deal on the Techno ROM by Rob
Papen which I really wanted and use almost exclusively(awaiting Rob's
Beat Garden to ship). That was good customer service. Stuff like
that brings you back, so in "00" I picked up the XL-1. No promo's
were offered at the time of purchase but he told me that if one came
up, that he would take care of me as he had done before.
Maybe your rep at Sweetwater will do the same for you........
Regards,
M2
