New BaCH bass

I too have the arthritis, but I find that playing actually helps it...it hurts at first, but then loosens up.

Same here!

[godofthunder]

 Yep me to !

I'm in Cincinnati...I didn't know Ohio allowed concealed carry in bars...doesn't leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.

You need the "Desperado" machine gun guitar case for self-protection....

That, and you need to cancel any gigs in Over-the-Rhine.   

The concealed carry in bars just got passed not too long ago.

I've had one musician friend killed at a bar in town here...stabbed, actually...guns just make it easier and less personal.  Not trying to start anything political...I'm the most apolitical person any of you will ever know (Patman is painfully shy and quiet), but alcohol and weapons are a bad mix.  It has been a constant fear of mine ever since Frank was stabbed.  Frank was probably the greatest trumpet player (literally) to ever walk the face of this earth FWIW. His death was so senseless.

No we don't play Over-the-Rhine...but we do play quite often in a 300 seat roadhouse on river road in the extreme west of town in a sketchy neighborhood. I generally try to steer us to places that serve meals as well as booze...makes me feel safer.  

The 300 seat roadhouse BTW is a wonderful place to play. Jim and Jack's...best food and rock n' roll in town.  I grew up on the west side and still miss it and the people there.

You can run, but you can't hide from your upbringing.

Ive been gigging 40 years,also...and I think that if I stop playing, pretty soon I will no longer be able to...I don't want that to happen. They can pry my Precision Bass out of my cold dead hands.(yes, i have had a few beers tonight)...

[Lightyear]

Same here!

Me too!  I'm just a month shy of 50 myself.  Exercise and movement are important to keep yoursell from getting cripled up - IMO.  I've been a technician for a little over 30 years and some days I really feel it.

I had an Orthopedic tell me, right after he pumped my right shoulder full of freezing cold cortisone , that virtually everyone started to develop arthritis at about the age of 18.  Most people didn't feel it for many years and some not at all but that it was just a natural part of aging.

Congrats Gary on pulling out of your tailspin - I know that it was not an easy thing to do.  Best of luck!

You guys probably remember the Telecaster bass with Spalted Maple top?
I've been gigging with this bass a lot lately. And I keep getting very good reactins from the people in the audience. About the looks but also about the sound.




I've asked BaCH to make a series of these basses.
And now they've announced they will be available soon (next week)
The only difference is they won't feature the Spalted Maple top. The rest is identical to my bass (body is US Alder)

will ferrell....?

[Dave W]

Any idea what the price will be? You said short scale at the beginning of this thread, would that be 30" or some other variation?

[chromium]

Might be old news, but I just noticed that they are selling off the remaining TH-1 body+neck blanks on their site.  Might make for a fun project...

I like the new anti-fungal teles!

[Basvarken]

Any idea what the price will be? You said short scale at the beginning of this thread, would that be 30" or some other variation?

Yes 30 inch.
Price will be around the same price as the one with Spalted Maple top. 250 euro.

The spalted one REALLY tempted me.  Not so much with the Alder top.

That spalted tele is gorgeous.

I'm finding myself typing that at least once a week...you LBO guys have some choice basses.

That's just plain cruel...

[Dave W]

Price is reasonable, especially for European buyers.

Rob and Will Ferrell are nothing alike. Rob isn't a comedian but can be funny; Will Ferrell has never been funny.
