Roman, thanks for the reply.  I'll take what my hands and ears have to say over someone's opinion on the internet any day of the week.  I think the bass is just great.  And, I think what everyone here has been saying about the bass is a better testimony than your usual anonymous internet banter.

How much to BaCHbirds go for? They sure are nice looking!

I was gonna say - I've never seen this kind of quality out of China. Korea and Indonesia, yes, but not China. NO frets sticking out the end of the fingerboard or anything weird. Seems to be a fine instrument. This bass is going to be getting a lot of stage time with me.  ;D

I've had mine for just a day now and have played it for about an hour, my first impressions are that this is an amazing bass for the money! The finish and overall  quality are very nice, the neck is slender and fits my small hands very well, I like it!
Here's a closer "traditional" owners shot.

Cheers Rob! Thanks for making this a reality and thanks Roman for taking care of us :)

Roman, just to be clear, all of us here know they are not made in China.

I'm not so worried about where they are made, but I think mine might have a poly finish  :o

I'm only kidding about any finish concerns, of course.  Just poking that bear, so to speak  ;)  ;D 

Its a beautiful instrument.  BaCH did a splendid job, poly finish and all!  I feel right at home on it, and will play it proudly.  It stands up VERY well next to the 76, which has been my main band/gig bass lately.

Yay!   Got my invoice today.  It came to my AOL address after having problems receiving it on my Roadrunner account.  I'll be cruising to the bank tomorrow to send the wire out Roman!   :mrgreen:

Hi guys . I´d like say something to these guys - Matthew K., Eric S. , Julian H. , Mike G. . Robert D.L.C. , Scott , Matt H. , Bart P.
We will have to cancel Your invoices and to offer the basses to other players.
You all have got the Invoices and no reply no payment.

Hi Roman.  I've also sent you several e-mails over the past few weeks and I have never received a reply or an invoice.  I'm going to send you an e-mail now from a couple of my different e-mail addresses.  Please please please keep an eye out for my e-mails!

Thank you,
Eric

This is what I did as well. I'd imagine it's cheaper for BaCH as well.

Yes.  It also assures that you are sending the correct amount.  Something about converting the currency will drive the cost at this end up if you don't send in Euros.  When I got my invoice, I converted to a dollar amount so I'd know how much to wire.  When I got to the bank 2 hours later, the exchange rate had changed, and my cost went up $12.
