Hit&Run Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) 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.. Edited January 30, 2008 by Hit&Run Quote
Machines Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Interesting... this one makes me weak at the knees: [url="http://www.bachmusik.com/en/p100988/bach-jb-04s-na/"]http://www.bachmusik.com/en/p100988/bach-jb-04s-na/[/url] And this one must be good value: [url="http://www.bachmusik.com/en/p100189/bach-pb60mmm/"]http://www.bachmusik.com/en/p100189/bach-pb60mmm/[/url] Quote
tauzero Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 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: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260204552032"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=260204552032[/url] Quote

spinynorman Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 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. Quote
cetera Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Oooo.... some nice ones on there! I like the black Jazz......and the sunburst jazz with maple board & white blocks! Quote
beerdragon Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 There's a thread somewhere on Basschat where the guy that runs it replies to some questions. but i cant find it at the moment. Quote

evilLordJuju Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 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.... Quote
beerdragon Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 When i first saw the site they had a ric copy. but that seems to have gone. maybe if i email them.... Quote

paul h Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) Do 25 of us quite fancy a Les Paul style P/J bass? Just a thought. Edited January 31, 2008 by paul h Quote

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! Jon. Quote
paul h Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 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. Quote

bass_ferret Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 And dont forget Czech has a long history of making stringed instruments. Quote
