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.

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