BaCHbirds taking flight!
« on: June 17, 2009, 09:04:10 AM »
Now that there are over 1000 posts at the BaCHbird thread, and now that they are making their way into our hot hands, should we start a separate thread with live BaCHbird pics? OK, I'll start...........











We let our #1 fan celebrate his 100th CoverGurl show by coming up and jamming on his alligator Les Paul for a couple of songs!

 Cool pics Tom!

Do I see a Gibson TRC? Standard T Bird piece?
And did yours have a BaCH logo on the headstock?

Mine's in bits and pieces now, getting a new pup, pots and will have a new PG soon too.

There's a guy on ebay who always seems to have some of those Gibson TRCs available. That's where I got mine.

I put a piece of white electrical tape over the BaCH logo for now. It's barely noticeable.  8)

Looks like you got the early "thick body" Bbird. Nice mods. I was initially planning to add a second pup, but I think I'm good with just the one chromified TB+ and some good pots/jack. I thought you had a pickguard with the bird on it?

Yep, I had. It was screen printed. But the ink didn't stick. I rubbed it off quite easily with my fingers...
I may try it again some day, but for now I'm done...

LOL!!!

Finally...I managed to get a shot that was taken the day after I got mine.  No cryptic messages on the back, so far.  I'm having fun with this bass.  Yes, there is no cord in the bass.  The girl that does our MySpace page came to the load-in for promo shots, and wanted a few of everyone before we started.

Looking good guys...  8)

I think I'll do that today.  What length screw are you guys using for the back of the neck?  It makes me a little nervous...
