My BaCH Non Reverse
« on: June 23, 2023, 08:33:56 AM »


 My BaCH Non Reverse is all put together and sounding great. Thank you Scott Dasson for all the superb parts, tail piece, tug bar, and especially the pickgard! The neck on this is absolutely fabulous, it plays very much like my old Gibson, BaCH and Rob really made these basses into something quite special, I'm very happy and fortunate to own one again.

Once again; congrats!

In hindsight it's really incredible how cheap they were. If my memory serves me right the first batch were only €160. (plus shipping of course and maybe a bank fee)

 It's really a better Non Reverse than either of Gibson's efforts! I'd forgotten how big it feels when you stand up and play, perfect for a tall girl!

Did BaCH do any left-handed models that I should be on the lookout for?

Of the NRs?  Uh oh.  Off to set up a Reverb search.  Unfortunately we tend to hang on to good basses because the cool ones don't come up that often.

The links to the pics don't show here because they're not https.
Butbuf you click ‘em they will open in your browser.

Don't tell me you don't own a light-blue dress, Mark.

I'm very disappointed. You have an image to live up to.

Actually I don't own a light blue dress - wardrobe goals!   Would blue sequins work?

So much better!

Constructive critique is so limiting and emotionally draining, but in moments like these it's all worth it. Czech bass (procured via Dutch mercantile hands) and Yank broad chick, all is well!
