Probably the nicest conversion to date! Just beautiful.
My BaCH was from that second batch.

I had made some mild tweaks to it originally.  Here it is in the stock finish, with the Artec stuffed into a NOS 70s pickup cover.  I moved the controls into the original NR's locations, added reflector cap knobs, and installed reverse wind tuners:




...and then I converted it to a IV, back-dated the look a bit, and stripped and refin'd it in nitro lacquer.  Its running black TB+ soapies that I stuffed into the 70s covers, and I completely rewired it.  Sounds and plays fantastic!  These are sweet basses.  8)

This one was mine. A previous owner put the black PG on. I bought it used and instantly regretted it. I sold it within a week. It's just not my kind of bass and not my kind of sound. I prefer Rickenbackers and Precisions.
