The Last Bass Outpost

How much does the Dasson Badbird bridge sell for? I know the intonation sucks with the original Gibson bridges but how do the stock Bachbird bridges compare? Did Bach make any adjustments when designing theirs to compensate for the problems of the original Gibson bridge? Does the Dasson come with the tailpiece too? 

Yes, yes, I know he has contacted the shipper and hopefully it will all get taken care of. I don't want to give anyone the impression that I haven't already spoken with Rob or that he was not being responsive or helpful. Sorry, if anyone thought that.

Yes, I would definitely like a brand new. I just figured that I bought a brand new bass (which doesn't happen very often) so I would like a brand new bass with no issues/repairs. If I was buying something that was vintage or rare then I would consider keeping it because of the rare factor and not being able to find another one but if it's brand new and another one is available then I would definitely not settle for one that was broken. Also, as we all know, T-bird necks are extremely fragile to begin with and playing a brand new one already worries me so starting off with it cracked is not such a great idea. With my luck I will get a new one and end up breaking it on my own at some point anyway. Ha..ha.

Obviously, if there is an option to get a new one and keep the broken then of course I am all for it but I don't want to start thinking that way and get greedy about it. I would be happy with one that is in good condition. I'm not sure how that stuff works. If the shipper reimburses you when a guitar is damaged what happens to the damaged guitar? I have shipped and received a bunch of guitars over the years but I have never had this happen to me so I don't even know what happens in this situation.  

Yeah, it just figures that of all the people that have ordered these basses I am the only that received one with a cracked headstock. Just my luck. I don't mind waiting for another I just hope that it won't be a huge ordeal and that Bach will be cool about it.

So, my first Bachbird arrived at my doorstep about 25 minutes ago and I can't ell you how excited I was. The bass looks great but one major problem............ the headstock is CRACKED!!! What a huge bummer. I just e-mailed Rob about it. I really, really hope I can get this resolved with no problems. I'm a little worried with it being international shipping and the language barrier. I really don't want to have to pay for shipping again. Has this happened to anybody else? What a drag. 

Yeah, all the Lollar pickups I have heard have been amazing which is why I was wondering about his T-bird pickups? I'm actually very surprised that no one on here has checked them out yet. Especially with all the T-bird fanatics on here and with all the Bachbird pickup mods going on on this board. I thought I was going to get more feedback from people who have tried those pickups, it seems like everyone on here has tried every other T-bird pickup out there. Getting reviews about the Lollar T-Bird pickups is hard, can't find anything on the net about them. Perhaps they are too new. I wanted to know if anyone had any luck dropping them into the NOS chrome pick ups covers, size. etc. Hmm, go figure.

I definitely want that cover if possible, I need one more. I just paid $30 for one, does that sound fair? I can Paypal you today and I will give another $5 for shipping.

What do you guys think of the Lollar Thunderbird pickups? How do they compare to the original 60's and 70's pickups? Has anyone put them in their Bachbird? If so, did they fit? I was thinking about buying some but I was wondering what people thought of them and if they fit into the NOS Gibson pickup covers that Greatdealz sell? Any thoughts or reviews would be appreciated.
