BaCHbirds taking flight!

Just staying on topic.

Here's my Bachbird w/ a nickel T-Bird pickup a few months ago.  Funny how I'm hidden behind the pole most of the time.

Cool! You really get an idea of how huge that headstock is!

Here's a couple of pics that a customer of mine sent me.
He had his BaCHbird converted into a MotorpsychoBird

With two DarkStars.

Those pickups just do not look right on that bass. Kind of ugly actually.

Some basses they look nice on others just do not work.

[Basvarken]

I agree they don't look right on the LP. Too close, too crammed.

But on the Motorpsychobird I really like the look of those DarkStars. But I think I would have mirrored them by turning the bridge pickup 180 degrees.

Woo! That BaCH looks cool! Really digging the individual personalities some of these are taking.

[Denis]

That green really looks good on it!

[Barklessdog]

I'm too anal, in that I shudder when someone puts one brand pickups on another brand - Darkstars are Guild to me. Might as well put P & J's on there.


Funny how when a famous player does it, people worship it (Tractor bass, Billy Sheehan, Fenderbird). When you or I do it people talk about ruining a bass.

[Basvarken]

Why not? It's a BaCH!
They were meant to be customized from the start. That's the fun of these things

i really like the DS's in there. can i say "titszup" in here?

Failed Guild, to be accurate. And both of the famous players who had theirs hotrodded quickly moved on to other basses and pickups.

I think they're ugly, regardless of how many of them you use. I don't like the sound of them either. But I do like the looks of that refin.

Anyone notice the Ace Frehley figure on the bass head at the right?

A few weeks ago with my Stock Bach!

He must be a Bent Saether & Motorpsycho fan? A great band, great bassist and that 'bird looks great!
