 I had the 5 string version of that.............

I didn't get on well with that bass.

I hated the neck, but otherwise, I loved it!   

[Nocturnal]

The necks are a little thicker than I prefer, but I live with it. Could be easy enough to put a Jazz type neck on it if I ever get the urge for that. The Bach is soooo much more comfortable to play.

 The string spacing on the 5er was not good for me, way too close.

A great candidate for a fender bird..

I still have it. They should have called it USS TBird given neck width and weight. Gives new meaning to the word neck-heavy, right up there with a Kramer alu neck. But unsinkable at Pearl Harbour, no doubt.

 But then, you never let anything go, it was a very neck heavy bass - I can deal with that, the string spacing killed it for me.
My Kramer V was way worse in the neck dive arena, again I could deal, but that single bridge pup left me far less than satified

I finally dotted the i's on the refinned BaCHbird this week. So I put it up for sale on my Facebook page.
And within the hour it got sold to a German bass player. Don't worry, it's not Uwe.
















I think I should do another one

Beautiful!

[Nocturnal]

That turned out nice!!

I played one for a while as well.  The spacing was very tight!  I can pretty much deal with any type of spacing on a 5 string but that was pushing it.  Had the original case too which was huge!  



Here is a Halloween gig pic from several years ago.  I'm certain it will catch Uwe's eye!

Is there a bass in that photo? I'm all eyes for the girl in the olive drab and the boots!

Why should it catch my eye? Ace Frehley is overrated as a guitarist and not nearly as good as Ritchie Blackmore.
