i bout a couple ISO-1's from Bob a year or 2 ago and had no problems. However, it was my wife that called and spoke with him. She told him that i wanted them for Christmas and he sent 2 out, right away. That being said, i don't think anyone has been able to get another one out of him. I was looking at his website recently and it has had an overhaul. From looking over it, it seems that he is trying to tailor more the the end user. I don't know if anyone has tried to buy anything recently, but there are definitely some guys on here that did try and try again with no success.
All aboard for the tour, riding next to the truth...

I'm still trying.  I doubt anything I or anyone else says about him will phase the man.  He's an a**hole.  He did some amazing things in his life, though.  I'll continue to buy his stuff off ebay.

FYI,
I sent bob an email last week and he replied almost immediately, saying something about how the economy has forced him to only take on work for which he'll be paid a lot of money.  Anyway, he says he'll get to my custom switcher as soon as humanly possible, and will now include 10 functions (that is, not merely the original 4) at no additional cost...
At this point, I'm taking all of this with a grain of salt...
I do think he will eventually get around to it but I may very well be looking at a few more months until that happens, unfortunately.

Also, I attached a picture to my reply, to his most recent email, telling him there are a number of people who want this image emblazoned on a tee.  

Now, I may have ruined my chances of ever getting this switcher built but I couldn't help myself -- I had to do it.  I had to make him stare down his own hideous horse-mane haircut from yesteryear.

I can see him rushing your shit with an agreement from you that t-shirts will not be printed. Nice touch cactus.... I'll take 10 shirts if he doesn't agree to you demands

Oh shit.  Haha.  I had no intention of blackmailing him into rushing my shit...
I guess it could have come across that way, though. 

Honestly, man, I just want an explanation: why did you (bob) decide to make yourself look like a cross between Wayne Cambell (Wayne's World) and a South Texas oil tycoon?  And what's with the extreme opposition between "party" (in the back) and "business" (in the front) for this particular mullet?
