Yes they are for sale.

I'm still corresponding with BaCH about the pickguard.
They made it the wrong shape. (like they did with the BaCHbird too...).

Although they don't show the headstock in any of the pics on their site, I can assure you it's got the right shape.

Send me an email or PM if you want a Fenderbird.

Price of the Fenderbird built by BaCH:
294 Euro. (BTW/VAT not included)
I'm not sure how it works with taxes if I sell stuff outside the EU.
In The Netherlands we have to add 19%. So for the Dutch it'll cost 349.86 Euro



















The dark honyburst with rosewood fretboard























And a Fenderbird for the lefties among us!

Rob - knobs look set back too far towards bridge.

I know. There's a whole lot of more details that aren't 100% right...
It is very frustrating, because there is nothing I can do about it.

Finally got a Fenderbird built by BaCH in the house.

Width at the nut is 38 mm.
Still with the wrong pick guard.
But now I can at least get an idea how it plays and sounds.  ;)

I'd like one in that same color combo!  Will be sending you an email.

Great looking bass! I brought my (non-BaCH) Fenderbird out for a gig Saturday night. What a plank! Sounds great though.

Cool shot, cool bass.  Who built that one?

I built it, starting with an abused body that Barklessdog gave me several years ago. Modified Warmoth body, Mighty Mite neck, Gibson TB+ pups, Schaller bridge, Hipshot Ulrtralites/D tuner.
