I am sooooo stoked for this.

Let's face it, fellows: It takes a Flying Dutchman to get hold of such a Bird.
My congratulations to such a fighting spirit, Rob!

Chris P. · November 05, 2008, 02:06:45 AM

Yep, thanks again Rob!

Rob,
Well, Looks pretty good ( amazingly good actually! ) great work and perserverence on your part. I assume we wait for BaCH to contact us? A plus for those of us the US, it looks like the $ has gained on the Erou ( ummm...thank you world financial crisis, I guess? ) of course shipping cost have probably doubled since this affair started. Hey, whatever they got the thing done! So, WOO-HOO!!! NR T-bird time!
Thanks Again, Rob!

Scott ( BassVI )

With all that info in the description, no mention of the serial number, and no evidence of one in the photos.

Ahhhh...didn't see that in there the first time.

That is one fine NR. Doubt if that's a realistic price.

I agree on both counts, though you can never tell what the one guy who really wants that particular bird might be willing to pay.

eb2 · November 16, 2008, 07:09:26 PM

For me it all depends on Powerball!

godofthunder · November 17, 2008, 07:46:25 PM

One in cherry was up a while ago and I had my doubts, Dave and the forum changed my mind about the authenticity of such a finish. is this the same bass that was up 6-12 months ago ?

Dave W · November 17, 2008, 10:24:38 PM

I don't remember, Scott. Could be. I do recall us discussing something expensive from PM Blues before but it may not have been a Gibson.
