I was perusing the BaCH website and came across this most appealing combination of styles.
Almost a Mel Schacher sig model. If it was a Jazz body it would be at least.

That is stunning Rob. Brian West from West Guitars here in Adelaide recently built a similar bass to that. The customer asked for a combination between the looks of an Allen Woody Rumblekat and a Ric. It looked absolutely beautiful.
-
The PB-60 does look interesting. I wonder about the pickup, could it be the high output Artec "mudbucker" copy?
-
Most likely yes Dave
-
the artec mudbuckers are fender pole piece spacing and that one looks like it is too.
-
That's good to know about the Artec. I didn't even think about the polepiece spacing.
In this case, the pickup's in the traditional Precision location and the polepieces look aligned. And we know BaCH does business with Artec.
-
The pups on this copyrick must be those Epi uses on the bolt-on Tbirds. Those are VERY HEAVY on the mids!

I have been drooling over the very same bass !
-
Do you guys do any GFR Scott? ;)
-
As a matter of fact we do ! I have been dying to put a mudbucker in my Jazz bass !
-
Talk about GFR, haven't seem Daniel aka Doombass around much lately.
Daniel's band do a lot of Grand Funk Railroad too.
-
He's here almost every day, just doesn't post as often.
-
It's a damn shame they mean absolutely zip over here... I may be the only fan left in the UK... :sad:
-
There is a few of us left here but not really enough to warrant a tour of any kind.

I've got a few tracks ripped to mp3s off compilation albums, but somehow they never drove me to investigate any further.

Now you are just showing off Mike ;D Man that it beautiful. DS'd an' all. Maho body, how does that combo sound?
-
GFR - Homer Simpson's favourite band... ;)
I'd be happy to "loan" you a selection, Phil, of what I consider to be worth further investigation, but music is relative - any ten in a room... ;)
Schacher is a stunning bassist, and Craig Frost was a great keys player, who went on to the "Silver Bullet Band" (as did Brewer, for a while) but Mark Farner is a competent guitarist and Don Brewer an extrovert but not brilliant drummer - Farner could write a mean hook, but God found him... ;D
They could be described as being 2 different bands - 3 piece garage metal/noise (hated by the press with a vehmence - they had ten straight Platinum releases but meant squat over here...) where the most notable would probably be the "Live", but there are real gems in "Closer To Home", "Survival" & "E Pluribus Funk", and 4 piece slick melodic rock (courtesy of Todd Rundgren, Jimmy Ienner(?) and Frank Zappa, yes, ole Frank hiself...) - "Shinin' On" is a standout track and CD, with some outstanding Rundgren soloing, and "Were An American Band" is a US Standard...
US buddies - did Bon Jovi used to encore with WAAB...?
-
The music press here hated GFRR and were furious that so many people loved them anyway.
-
Ken, my opinion of Don Brewer is the opposite of yours. I would put him in my top 3 drummers to play in a band with. I absolutely love his playing. Just about anything live, he just shines IMHO.
-
GFR - Homer Simpson's favourite band... ;)
Who could resist that "bong rattling bass"?
-
I never had the good fortune to have seen him, but don't get me wrong, Bret, I'm a big fan... it's just that "T. N. U. C." is not one of the most inspiring solos I've ever heard, then again, awesomely more inspiring than "Moby Dick"...
5 drummers that have seriously impressed me without thinking too hard...
Neal Peart, Terry Bozzio, Ian Paice, Keith Moon, Ed Cassidy & Cliff Davies...
er... that's six...
-
Considering I paid about $220 for bass & case awesome . I have a badass bridge for it but have not installed it. I used a bayou wiring harness he makes for the DS pup. I had orig destined the DS for an Ibanez semi install but fell for the BaCH, sold the Ibanez. There is also a pup ring with a thumb rest on the top edge I like a lot . forget where I got it though . The ol pit ,I believe.
Im gonna play her this week , kinda forgot about her with all the gibbys around. lime green P bass tooo......... :mrgreen:
The tele also has a nat finish, you can see the grain holes.....
-
Well, I would be happy to invite all you to my band rehersals and to first show, that hope will that will happen shortly: we are a Grand Funk Railroad Italian cover band!
-
Grazie mille... but still some trip, even for me... ;D
-
I was a big fan of GFR. Was lucky enough to see them in 1998 when Farner was with them. I guess that was the last tour for him. Mel played a Zon and I was blown away by his playing. The whole band was on top of their game. I couldn't speak for a few days afterward because I was screaming out the lyrics. Could not hear for a few days either!
-

Oh what the hell shameless plug.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvFX4GmKiYo
-
Guessed that without even hitting the button :P - still played it again as it's a great version... "Good Singin', Good Playin'" to coin an LP titled expression... ;D
-
When Scott's band comes to town, "All The Girls In The World Beware!", to quote another LP title.
-
Bloody impressive Scott.
-
Great Scott!
Your Non Reverse Fenderbird sounds brutal!
Nice hammer on / pull offs.
About the girls: For a moment I thought I saw Ze Fraulein in the front row!
