where to buy BaCH basses in the US?

Are there any retailers in the US that sell BaCH basses?
I've become attracted to the White SS SAB-2S-WH as well as the TH-1 (which is what I really wanted anyway)

This will be the year I try hard to get one.
From the looks of things, I may just have to get lucky and wait for one to pop up on CL or eBay.

Rob (Basvarken) a member here is a Bach rep. I'd go through him.

AFAIK Rob is their only retailer in the world. Before he started handling them, the only way you could buy one is directly from the factory by a wire transfer.

Thank you Dave.
Indeed I am the only retailer who sells the semi-acoustic basses from BaCH. It's a special deal I have with my Czech friends.

About the TH-1: BaCH has stopped the production of TH basses. I have one last Pelham Blue TH-1 here. There may be other BaCH retailers who have them in stock. But I don't know who actually does.

Thanks for the responses, guys.

Rob, I am interested in learning a bit more about what is available.

Thanks,
Steve

I know someone in Raleigh who has a BaCH TH-2 if you want to try it out sometime.

Same person also has two Series II TH-1s if you want to see the differences between TH-1s and TH-2s and Series IIs and Series IIIs.
