Same here, in Austin at the time.

I see. Of course, considering the age, a former owner might have fixed the issue on mine.

Okay, you have my undivided attention. My DSL 100 is a 1999 model, and I haven't had the bias drift issue. Did the problem start AFTER that? I always assumed that mine was one of the ones affected. Maybe Guitar Center also thought so and that's why I got it so cheap?
