Sinji,

I did get to see the other pics of your Edwards, you should share a few more with the guys here - obviously there's some interest  ;) Hopefully you got the shots of my (under reconstruction) BaCH.
 

Hi Mark

Your pics are great! Thanx a lot.
I'll gladly share pics with the guys, but how can I do ?
Just paste the URL of my album here?

I think at this point, we need a sunburst NR! Or at least I do, anyway (still chaffing over missing that burst Epi NR a second time).

To the mojo hobo

      I do!  But available colors were only White or Sunburst at the last time.

To Denis

      My NR was sunburst before I refinished it .  And my friend has a White one.

Edwards has some nerve! Or Japanese IP laws are comfortably lenient ...  :mrgreen: I know that in the past they have made faithful RD versions too for Toshi (?), that Dir N Grey (spelling?) bassist.

Greco,Fernandes(Burny),Ariapro,Tokai,etc,... 
Japanese manufacturers had made many copies from 70's to 80's.

Yes, Dir En Grey,Toshiya.  Now, ESP makes it.

Welcome, indeed!
The Edwards is a beauty! Your collection looks like what I'd see at a NC State/Carolina football game!

Hi !
Does Carolina football game mean Blue v.s Red ,right?
Sorry,I cannot understand ,because never watched the game... ???

TBirdMania1965, nah I've never been to Japan (I took one semester of Japanese language in college, but all I remember is how to ask for phone numbers).  I've been trying to get stationed at Yakota AB for some time now, but it never seems to go through for me.  I would love to live there for a while though.

It's enough to get girlfriends!
Yokota AB has a stupendous area! I wish you'll be able to come to Japan someday. ;D

Is that a Warwick type bridge and tailpiece on the Edwards?

(like this one)




Yes. Here is a photo.



I swapped an original birdge that was 3 pointed for this bridge and tailpiece made by Bacchus (Japanese brand).

To chromium

    I found and got my Edwards(a brand of ESP) NR in Japan I'm living.
    All mahogany made and set-neck .
    Only 10 or so basses were made last year,
    and I've never seen them anywhere even since I had got mine.
    I heard Edwards has no plan to the next run...
     Sorry for no information to you.

To angrymatt

     Thanx for your explanation. Have you ever been to Japan?

Hi there

Mark told me about this topic, and I've just registered.
Can I join you?

First,I apologize to you for my unskilled English, because I'm a Japanese.

A couple of weeks before, I got my sonic blue BaCHbird with croc hardcase directly from Czech.

Early in May,it showed "0,- CKZ" when my friend found it unexpectedly on the web ,
and he asked BaCH Music the schedule of second run by e-mail.

Early in July , he got a mail from them that said "You can buy,but we have last 4,so Pls be hurry!".
So we hurried to order black×1 ,white×1 ,blue×1 and 3 hardcases.

Geeeee! Shipping cost was 490EUR all of three...but there was no other way to send basses w/cases to our country.

It's O.Kay!!!  We don't care !!!!!, but crying...

And now , two of my friends and I have owned beautiful babes!  Yes, three BaCHbirds are here in Japan,far east .

Here is mine,sonic blue BaCHbirdie, just a little bit modified


She's so cute,isn't she?

And my NRs  
L to R  80's Burny NR Firebird 3 ember red / '08 EDWARDS(ESP)NR 4 cardinal red / BaCHbirdie
and croc skinned hardcase behind them


Sorry about photos're so terrible...
