Title: Inbound BaCH NR II
Post by: TBird1958 on January 10, 2023, 09:40:34 AM: Not that I should have ever sold the first one I got, hopefully this makes up for a past stupidity on my part. It will get a Lull pickup.

Not my pic.

These are rare. If my memory serves me right, only ten were made in this color.

Post by: TBird1958 on January 10, 2023, 10:10:40 AM: Yeah, that's Joe's bass. At one point didn't you sum up BaCH's total production? I seem to recall that not all that many were made. 1 of 10, I like that!

Blue? I didn't remember you buying one since it wasn't a Gibson.

I didn't have any blue basses and you know I collect for fins ;)

Post by: 4stringer77 on January 12, 2023, 07:08:28 AM: Nice Frosty blue bass just in time for the frosty winter. Hey did you know Light blue (Goluboi) is a Russian slang term for homosexual? I still like frost blue either way. Congrats!

Ah, well that's the bass I bought but the picture is from the gentleman that has sold it to me, as for cases, I'll never be able to compete with Uwe or Scott - I believe both of them have constructed storage facilities to accommodate their cases and basses ;D

Post by: uwe on January 12, 2023, 09:21:25 AM: Sigh, writing "storage facility" in my presence is like saying "cleaning woman" in the presence of Steve Martin in Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid - it pains me how most of the kölleckshün is now force-relegated there.
