BaCHbird
« on: April 09, 2008, 12:21:39 AM »
Yep that's right, the old BaCHbird topic has been erased on my request.
I just didn't feel comfortable anymore with this topic running "out of hand"

When I started about a year ago -at the former Dudepit-  the goal was to gather 20 enthousiasts to help each other realise this dream.
In the meanwhile I have over 50 people who joined in.

To all participants: don't worry, the project is still on.
I have your email addresses and I will keep you informed through email.

We could use this new topic to discuss related stuff. But I really would like to keep this BaCHbird project under the radar till it's a wrap.
I hope you will understand/respect that.

cheers, Rob

What Bachbird you say?
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

I would get one of these while you can. Kind of pricey, but would equal the time it takes to make one.

They would make nice eyebrows or mustaches for the Groucho in you?

It's all that little detail crap that kills you.  I got the neck from him for $60.  The thumbrest is $35?  We already know the guy is a reliable seller, and he must know his stuff.
