Anyone know who's this is? I'd buy it if I could swing it.

is this one of the original order.  looks mint

[Denis]

It's one from the most recent (third set).

[gweimer]

That couldn't have popped up at a worse time for me. I also thought that the TH-2 was only recently offered.

timing always sucks for stuff.  Just bought a new car for my wife yesterday and owe Bruce Johnson the balance for AEB-2 # 70  -  so I am  pretty much tapped out.  Mortgage my have to a few days.((((      i threw up a bid.  will see if i win or not.   Getting close to price from Rob for new one anyway.  someone is supposed to send me  money for my Yamaha 10th Anniv Billy Sheehan bass.   wish me luck.. don't bid against me please.  you guys have one already.....

Did you guys change out the pups?   pickguard???  anything else?

[Denis]

Some have changed out the pups and the pgs. I've done neither yet and probably won't touch the pgs on mine because I like the way they sit on the body. Scheming on the pups though!

[jumbodbassman]

someone just upped the bid. Probably cost same as new..... 

pretty sure i will go with the lull pups when i finally get a bachbird.  really like the white or blue.  very cheesy vintage vibe.

seeler on ebay mentioned a decal for the pickguard.  that should work for you..

[Denis]

Not sure what the price is for them at the moment but remember that shipping was pricey from Europe even with Rob's contacts. This one has a $45 shipping price on it.
It will be very interesting to see how much this goes for considering NRs (except for '90s Epis) have pretty much been MIA in any form for a long time.

WTF?  Someone's looking to go into business?

[Nocturnal]

I thought someone here was talking about selling their new Bach after they bought an original black one??? I think this is theirs?

[the mojo hobo]

It was mine. Apparently the current owner doesn't like it all that much either.

It looks like I would have been much better off to list it on ebay, but I figured I'd offer it here first, this being more or less the birthplace of the Bachbirds.

Gary, I'm sorry that the timing was bad for you, you could have driven here and picked it up. But on second thought, maybe you wouldn't like it either.

It looks like Rob should start selling these on ebay.

[gweimer]

Yeah, the current bid is up over what I think ordering from Rob would cost.  The fact that these are still pretty unique is making them easy to sell, especially once they hit the States.

It seems to have been taken off sale...?

[gweimer]

It seems to have been taken off sale...?

He probably got an offer he couldn't refuse.   

[nofi]
