Rob, shall I apply for a cease and desist injunction to stop that illegal secondary market?  :mrgreen:

I'll play my real  :P Non Rev IV tonight.

Go ahead Uwe, sue the MF!





Let me think..., should I opt for Ebay sales too?
I mean  for this kinda money it could be worth a shot!

Just because it is listed for $895 doesn't mean it will sell for that.

That is the bass that used to be mine. I wonder if the current seller doesn't like it either, or bought it thinking quick profit. Let's see if either of the Bachs currently on ebay sell.

As I said before, Rob should list on ebay. But I'd start at a reasonable price and let the auction see what the final value will be. And one from Rob would be new, although like-new, the TH-2 on ebay has had 2 previous owners.

The Honeyburst TH-1 on ebay is mine. I was rear ended on the highway a few weeks ago, missed some work and need to raise some quick cash. I posted it on ebay to try and get close to what I have into it with Scott's guard and the $74 in extra customs duties and service charges from TNT. If it doesn't sell I'll offer it here for a more reasonable used price. Wish I didn't have to sell it at all but it's the only bass I have that's affordably replaceable or replaceable at all. Such is life. At least I'm alive!

I know that just because it has BIN for 895 doesn't mean that it will sell for that, I was just shocked to see such a high figure associated with the bass  :o

I played this red TH-2 bass for a couple of shows, but in the end wasn't thrilled with it.  It's very pretty, and it got lots of compliments on the look - but after exchanging some emails with Roman regarding the build and features of this particular bass, I decided to just hold out for one from a future run. The current owner may very well get the $$$$ he is asking...

Sorry to hear that Bill get better soon and you'll replace that badboy someday, GAS always get's the best of us in one way or another.. I just stopped myself from putting the Ibanez Bird that I tipped off Mark on, on my CC and that just killed me but I need to pay for the other 2 I bought first lol

Thanks Scott and Henry. I'm pretty good all things considered. I can walk and work. I just got back from seeing a orthopedic neck specialist. Looks like i have carpal tunnel in both hands from getting jammed into the steering wheel. The intermittent numbness and tingling certainly does suck hard being a bass player but it's better than it was a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully a few weeks of therapy will take care of it. I can play without pain so I'm feeling optimistic about the outcome.

Not so much ended as sold to the buyer...!
