Basvarken Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 BaCH has a small shop in Hodonin, Czech Republic. The wood work of all their instruments is done there. Except for the the [b]bodies[/b] of the semi acoustic guitars and basses, which I think come from South Korea. These are joined to a Czech made neck in Hodonin. And then finished etc. The hardware comes from South Korea as well. And so do most of the pickups, which are from the Artec company. Because their workshop is so small, they only make a small series of each instrument. About 25 is the max. Which is the reason why some of their instruments seem to be sold out forever. Working with them has been a nice experience. Sometimes a bit frustrating because of the language barrier. A lot goes lost in translation... But they're nice folks and they know how to build a good instrument. Just to remind you; the best violins were always built in Prague. They do have a long tradition of building stringed instruments.

karlfer Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I was pointed to my dream bass, it's up for sale on another forum, which I joined just so I could see the advert. Sadly at over 800 Euros for a BaCH I am very much out. Shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahambythesea Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Thanks Basvarken. Interesting info, Korea and Czech Republic seems a good combination. My 2 Spectors are one from Korea and one from the Czech Republic and both are cracking good basses, but cost a lot more than the BaCH.

Grahambythesea Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 These BaCH basses are beginning to become a family thing. My brother, another bass player, has ordered the five string in the style of a 51 precision in black and white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahambythesea Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 The 5 string 51 P style has arrived at my brother's. Looks pretty good, he says it plays ok, might need to drop the action slightly and the tone pot does offer much variation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
