This is not a knock on vintage NR Thunderbirds. I love them and always will. But... I look at that admittedly beautiful bass and I say to myself, "Self, is that bass worth $9500 more than a new Bach Bird to you?" And my self is answering, "No." Even with unlimited funds if I bought that bass I'd be afraid to play it outside the house. If I ding up or even destroy a Bach, I can just get another one (for now, anyway). Even if, compared to the real thing, it's only 90% there (and that's a low estimate in my book), the Bach is still, dollar for dollar, the winner here.

The Gibson IS bass history........ I'd feel the same about playing it out, probably never!

For those of us that have them, a BaCH is bass history too, and I can play it out  ;D

 I knew the second that classy red head walked in the room she was out of my leauge...............................but I had to try anyhow. $4,858.00 was my high bid, all I did was drive it up a bit for the buyer and make it a little more dear ;D Those with money still have it and when something exceptional pops up they will still open their wallets. I think I'll treat myself to a Bach ;) Mark btw I got your little package today ;)

If I had the malvax (money) I would go for one. Right now, baby! Just spent a few minutes with my blue one. It's so good! But I can't. Right now... Great bass, anyways!

Can you still get a Bach? Is it worth it?
