New BaCH bass

The site link above is now a 404. This seems to be the right one: http://www.bachmusik.com/bach-btc-bass-mjbs_p1765

What will you be selling them for, or has that been decided yet?

Very, very cool! The pickup looks like the ones Alembic and Warwick use. Warwick calls it classic humbucker.

@ Dave

Yeah their site is all messed up.

The BTC Bass with one single coil is 203,- Euro (VAT included). Available in Creme or Butterscotch.
For you guys in the US of A that is is 245 dollars (VAT not included)

The BTC Bass with single coil and humbucker at the bridge is 249,- Euro (vat included).
Four you guys in the US of A that is is 300 dollars (VAT not included)

The creme and the butterscotch have a 50's P style bridge with two saddles.

The spalted one has a heavier bridge with four separate saddles.
And the postion markers one the latter are abalone pearl dots.

@ Chris
Looks very similar indeed.

In fireglo and with toaster-tops, no less! Very classy.

A Fricken bass? Seriously that looks gorgeous Doc.

Wow. That BaCH is beautiful. I tried to make a shorty Tele last year and fudged the neck pocket.
I might just try again now that I have some more inspiration.

I made some more pics of the Telecaster Bass.
I only wish they had made more of them so I can start selling them bloody basses!

PhilT · September 03, 2011, 03:00:45 PM

They're still out of stock? What are they playing at?

Basvarken · September 04, 2011, 02:35:38 AM

It puzzles me too.
They told me they have one more spalted top Telecaster bass available.
And five each of the other ones without binding and without spalted maple top and with just the single coil.

Really love the look of the 50's precision, but with block inlay's on the neck. Have contacted them about the width of the neck at the nut, still waiting to hear back. I was wondering about they're quality control, as ive heard mixed feedback about this ?

BaCH added a new Telecaster Bass to their assortment; it has a black body without bindings. A rosewood fretboard. And a mini-humbucker at the bridge (as a second pickup, next to the single coil). The bridge is the simple two saddle version.

And... there is some serious progress on the EB-2!
After the echec with the manufacturer of the bridge we developed ourselves, BaCH chose to use the traditional three point bridge (if it's good enough for the Rivoli reissue, why not use it for the BaCH semi-acoustic bass).
And there is really going to be a short scale as well as a long scale version. Available in three colors: Antique Red, Natural and White.
Hope they get them ready before Xmas!

A Fricken bass - you're killin' me! I had a great laugh with that!

The long wait is almost over, BaCH announces the semi-acoustic bassen will be avialable soon...

This pic shows a white one and a blonde one in the lower right corner:

Man those guys at Bach! Very cool!
