I saw this bass on TB and thought it looked really nice. It's some sort of reverse Ric clone with Lakland Chi-Sonic pickups in it. The poster is from Sweden. I asked for some info on the bass so we'll see. (http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn3/saltymonkey/xxxfullfront.jpg)

Dang, that's nice. Looks like an ebony board.
-
The thing looks like it's got a hard on :o and people think Rics reverse headstocks on the C64s are ugly.
-
Wow! That looks pretty.
That gives me an idea.
What if you took one of these and put Chisonics in?
once we saw a picture of a bach bass here :mrgreen:

Kinda cool. Iceman vibe.....

Don't let the Ric police see that, JH will have a fit :o
-
I've been very tempted to pickup the BaCH Ric, and drop my Dark Star and '70s Ric pickup into it. It would certainly save me a lot of trouble with getting pieces together.
-
No so much for the reverse body, but I like everything else about it!

Damn Rob. Why'd you have to go and do that.
-
Here we go again. ;D
-
Wow guys I though you'd already seen those!
They have em on their site for years.
Shoot me a PM if you wanna see more :mrgreen:

(Once we saw an interesting Bach bass here) ^See post above^
Ohh.... this one is sweet. And in stock. Where did I put that resistance?
-
and what do we google? BaChRic? ;D

Rob can hook anyone up with pictures if they feel the need. Best to keep them somewhat on the down-low...
-
I've seen upside-down Ric clones before, but I just don't get the appeal. This one also looks thicker than a Ric, if it's maple like a Ric it must weigh a ton.

Best not to show these over at TB. I don't know what JH could do but why make waves?

Agreed. And it's really nice that these basses are available at such great prices and virtually unknown to the masses. I can't wait to get my Bachbird but I won't be posting pics of it over there once it arrives. Even if it makes it into a group shot at some point there will be no information attached to it. I saw some pics of the NR Bird and heard the Bach name a couple of times before my frantic gas fueled search landed me here. I won't be the one publicly giving away the location of the pot of gold at the end of this rainbow.
-
We're not too worried about the BaCHbird. The cat has been out of the bag for quite a while now.
The RickenBaCHer is a little tricky though. :-X
-
Besides Rob can't sell 'em if people don't know about them..............as much as I'd like to keep Bach's to myself it seems a little selfish..................................... I can't believe I said that :o

I have a Dark Star Decade and a 55-02CS. A CS is not a copy of a DS as much as an alternative. For one, the CS pole pieces are not encased, not adjustable, and there may be other internal construction differences. Sonically, a DS saturates and blooms in a unique way, whereas Laklands have a more well-produced sound (Dan's description). I think Lakland's main goal was to have a steady supply at reasonable cost, since they build almost all their own pickups now. One other point of difference is you can order a Chi Sonic as single coil only, or a CS humcanceller that is switchable to single coil (though some say the pure single coil version has sonic differences).
