Sadly, no sign of BaCH here either.
Does anyone do business with that particular BaCH?

Our BaCHbird must have inspired them to build a white Firebird too ;-)

Ha!  I'm so glad it's not a non-reverse.

 You know I looked over their website, they have some pretty cool basses there.

They wanted it kept quiet because of possible trademark concerns. Now they have pics on their website. Go figure.

I'd like to know how much the cost will be also. When I checked out the site I was wondering what John & Sterling would think.

 Re: Body shapes

I had this discussion with Mike Lull in regards to his Thunderbird.........basically since the body shapes have never been trademarked or patented they can be copied without fear of a lawsuit.

Yet our BaCH friends make a fairly blatant Rickenbacker bass knock off.  There is no secret how that goes over with the little guitar factory in CA.  I tend to think they don't care about what is copyrighted or not.

The cost is 160 Euros. There are already buyers for all of the first run. Contact Rob (Basvarken) by email or PM for more info.

Re the body shape: it's strictly a trademark issue, nothing to do with patent or copyright.

Gibson may not have registered a trademark on the Firebird/Thunderbird, but they would probably assert common law trademark rights if a copy was too close.

That's probably not really an issue with a Fenderbird type since a bolt-on Fender-style neck on a Gibson-style body is not likely to be confused with a Gibson product. But it might be a big issue with a clone, even if the clone isn't officially marketed in the US.

Has anyone heard anything from the Bach company? Anyone got his/hers bass yet? I've heard nothing so far, and the days keep rolling on. Was I born under a wandering star?
