Putting my next build on hold now in favor of one of these!

Would kill for one in classic burst (hint hint)
But that shorty in natural reminds me of someone....

Hmmmm....

Doesn't having the silks in contact with the saddles kills the tone, muffles the sound, makes large cracks appear in the earth and probably will make fire rain from the skies? I think I read that on Talkbass.

And can it sound like a Fender?

Wonder what these guys would think about that?

Victor Wooten, Stu Hamm, Lee Sklar, Alphonso Johnson, John B. Williams, John Patitucci, Dick Lövgren, Andy Irvine, Regi Wooten...Divinity Rocks, Guy Pratt, Stuart Zender, TM Stevens...

Pretty sure none of the instruments they play have silk on the saddles.

That I couldn't sell a bass with that crappy a bridge.  Or wouldn't.

Sorry that bores you...here's a less than $300 Chinese bass with a better one.

 I was always partial to block(ish) fret inlays vs dots, I'll give Carlo that much. ... OK the pinstripe binding is pretty dope too... but the pup is totally in the wrong place  :P

Yeah, but it doesn't have that sweet StingRay pup. LOL!

The Bach does look great, and if it's as good as the TH-1, it's a nice bass for the money.
