Did anyone on here ever order a 'BaCH' bass from the czech republic?
Seeing that their [url="http://www.bachmusik.com/en/p100985/bach-jb-04s-bk/"]Marcus-a-like[/url] comes in at under £200, I'm sure someone on here must've had a punt with one of their basses.

Is the Czech Reupublic in the EU as well? Would that mean no customs/import etc..

Interesting... this one makes me weak at the knees:

And this one must be good value:

This one looks faintly familiar:

[url="http://www.bachmusik.com/en/p100200/bach-wa-5m-na/"]http://www.bachmusik.com/en/p100200/bach-wa-5m-na/[/url]

£270.

For £225

[url="http://www.bachmusik.com/en/p100198/bach-5m/"]http://www.bachmusik.com/en/p100198/bach-5m/[/url]

Or for £200

[url="http://www.bachmusik.com/en/p100902/bach-5mg/"]http://www.bachmusik.com/en/p100902/bach-5mg/[/url]

which also look a bit familiar:

The German Bach reseller runs auctions on eBay.

[url="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/bachguitars"]http://stores.ebay.co.uk/bachguitars[/url]

If you look at their completed auctions they accept quite low best offers, for example 140 Euro against a 229 Euro BIN on a 4-string 51 precision copy. Definitely worth trying to do a deal.

When they've run non-BIN auctions the prices have been low, so don't expect much resale value. I don't have one myself, but people who do on other boards say they are well made.

A bunch of us Gibson fans have got together to order a bach non-reverse thunderbird style bass. see here [url="http://www.vintageguitars.org.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1408"]http://www.vintageguitars.org.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1408[/url]

I'll be getting one for sure - will post pics when they arrive. As far as I know, Bach will make you anything, if you can get together an order for 25 of them....

...anything like [url="http://www.bachmusik.com/en/p101035/rbb-2-hb/"]this[/url]? It's set neck, not through neck though.
They've got shedloads of basses on this site!

That's not quite the same as the one they had before - it was pretty much a ringer for the Rick 4004, hardware-wise. That's still pretty nice, though!.

PaulH - not sure about the P/J LP bass - but I'd be up for a Gibson Victory copy! :)

Damn you tangential GAS!

I started off looking at the Marcus Miller'alike and now I have decided I want the following...

A short scale Les Paul shape with rear routed electronics featuring a 51 P style single coil and an onboard fuzz circuit. A side mounted jack socket and no knobs but a mini toggle switch for the fuzz.

And I want it to cost £120.

that sounds cool! not too sure on the "clear" finish (and can't find any pics of a t-bird with such a finish..any examples? :))

Do you need to have an order of 25 instruments, or is that just for custom orders to make it worth their while?

€160 for the Thunderbird? :) What's that - £120? That is ridiculously cheap.

I wonder what they'd want for a Rick 4005?
