Post by: Denis on June 29, 2013, 05:31:34 AM
Someone here really needs to get this! I wish I could, since I have a blue one and a black one.

 I may bid but if someone really wants it let me know and I'll stand down. No sense bidding against each other.

I'm thinking that might have belonged to Tom once.  It had a $666 BIN a few days ago which IIRC was around what his went for.

I sold mine to a guy in Nashville (ironic!) with one of Scott's pickguards and a regular black with gold lettering Gibson TRC on it, and a custom flight case.

I'm gonna try to get that white one on ebay.  Seems to be pretty much what I want.  If I get it, I'll most likely unload my cherry TH-2.

Those Series II's are great.  If I hadn't just bought the Kubicki I'd be all over this one.  Hope you get it!

I have a white one and a blue one and wish I'd bought a black one, too!

Haha, between us we have it covered! I think the blue ones come up for sale least often, with white next. The black ones seem to be the ones most generally put up for sale.

True, I think that most people that have bought a blue bass have thought more about it than people that have bought a black one. I'm not saying that buying a black one is wrong thru! :D

Funny, I like the black ones the most, the blue ones the least!

I had a black Bach and a blue one. Sometimes I wish I kept the blue one Denis now has, but I have the blue 2013 NR, the blue money bass and two blue Carvins so I'm a little heavy into blue. I never did care for white basses though.

I haven't done anything to the blue one I bought from you. If I do ANYTHING to it the changes would be limited to string and CTS pot replacements. It's really all they need.

When the Series II's came out there were no color options other than the black, white and blue.  And when we ordered them wasn't it a crapshoot as to which color we received?  I seem to remember it that way.  I've had 2 black ones over the years.  The first one I modded with the pots (rearranged them too), Scott pickguard, and proper looking reverse kluson type tuners.

Came real close to bidding on this one too.

I don't really know the difference between the series on these, but I know I can still get black Single Pickup and trans red double pickup.

That's what I recall.  We all ordered "a bass", and it was the luck of the draw that determined what we got.  I think we were able to ask for a preference, but no guarantees.  I was very happy with my white one.  My first nice bass ever was a '66 Thunderbird II NR.

I think Gweimer is correct about the color "choice". The two that arrived at Joe's (Chromium) were a white and black, and I ended up with the black. Its a great bass that I really enjoy playing.

When I contacted BaCH they actually gave me a choice of either the last blue one or the last black one.

Sold for $405!  Hope someone here got it.

That's a damn good deal!

It's actually less than what I paid for mine when I got it.  Whoever got that bass should be very happy.
