Oh No More GAS Another Bach TH-1 in the herd
« on: March 16, 2012, 06:19:49 AM »
  Over on TB  a member had a black series II Bach  TH-1 for sale I sure don't need it but I got it for a real good price! That makes Three Bachs and four Gibson NRs. ;D First order of biz is to install a Thunderbucker and new guard.

I sometimes think about selling by black Bach NR. But then I play it and I love that thin neck and thin body! I keep lusting after a BlackBird so someday I may let the Bach go to buy one of those Gibbies. GAS is a bad thing.....at least according to my wife  ;D
Something tells me this won't be Scott's last NR purchase.

I find it very interesting that of the Series II Bach NRs, the black ones surface way more often than the white or blue ones. I've NEVER seen any of the 10 blue ones for sale after the original purchases.

 I am going to have fun with this one, I'll most likely refin it at some point. These are great for outdoor shows, don't have to worry so much about them if it rains.

You know, Scott, you should just give in and buy the Holy Crap bass while you're at it.  This thing will peel the paint off the back walls.


You know you want to.   Give in to the dark side....    :thumbsup:
