Cool, yeah I'm pretty sure I am going through Rob. Just to clarify, from the reading the message boards I in no way am doubting the quality of Rob's service or help. I know he has been a great help to many, many people on this board. I was more curious about Bach's customer service and their prices and stuff. I can't wait to order this bass and get it in my hands. I have wanted a Non-Reverse Thunderbird forever and I never thought I would be able to get one. I have considered getting the Epiphone reissue but I can never go through with it because there are too many things wrong with it, I don't like the pick-up configuration, the reverse headstock or the color. Let's face it, other than the body shape, it is nothing like a real NR Thunderbird.
