Telecaster Basses by BaCH

[Basvarken]

Yesterday I had three BaCH Telecaster bass guitars in the house.


Two Honey Burst Telecasters



And one Creme Telecaster




I made a quick video to give you an impression of the sound.
It was a bit of a rush job because the bass was going to be picked up in ten minutes :-)






These brave little basses kick ass!

[gweimer]

Nice!

[ack1961]

the honeyburst is really nice looking...

[Pilgrim]

I have more than a leeeetle Telebass lust in my heart..... 

[Big_Stu]

V Nice! I think I prefer the darker honey one. Great vid too! Lovely tight tone off the bucker.

Are these as low priced as their Tele guitars?

[Basvarken]

Are these as low priced as their Tele guitars?

Yes. The Honeyburst Telecaster Bass is 250 euro.

And the Creme one is even cheaper: 223 euro

If I were in the market, it would be for the cream single coil with the traditional bridge.

I played the sample on my laptop (lousy speakers) but I admit I liked the sound of the double pickup model.

what doe sthe toggle do on the singlke pup bass??  And it appears it does  not do the same on the 2 pup version

[Basvarken]

Here's what BaCH told me in their own cryptic English...

"Its switch works this way -
1. position - PU directly
2. position - tks to Tone pot You adjust a tone color and You get just this sound
3. position - a fix sound tks capacitor and resistor inside the bass   "

I played it a bit and it sounded like two different kind of treble cuts. Quite nice actually.

[Pekka]

The single coil sounded great but both pickups on it sounded almost the same. I would think a humbucker would affect the sound much more than it did, is it wired differently than the usual series wiring when both on?

[Basvarken]

Yeah it sounds almost the same. But slightly more compressed.
I have no idea how it's wired exactly. Haven't looked under the hood...

[jumbodbassman]

does the one pickup come in the sunburst also or only solid color?? 

sorry guys I am a hardcore SB fan,   especially on fenders...

[Basvarken]

Nope. They only have them in Creme. And in Butterscotch (sort of half transparent /opaque).

But I do think it would be good idea to introduce the Honeyburst Telecaster with just in single coil too!
