Priceless! Well done!

There are at least two Corvettes in our neighborhood. Both drivers look like these cats.

Hi all. I'm going to post a FS thread today for the BaCH NR I bought in mid March. With the acquisition of the killer
TB-900 I found last week it's already taken a backseat to that bass. It plays and sounds great but I love that Greco. It's perfect for me. I also have my heart set on a custom NR II to be commissioned in the near future and I can't afford all the basses I'd like to have. It's a Series One BaCH NR that has been converted from a II to a IV. I confirmed this with Rob, @Basvarken, with a photo via email. All of the Series One BaCHs were single pickup basses. According to the Reverb seller I purchased it from the pickups are Chinese made Tbird Humbuckers. They sound great. After playing it I had no desire to replace them. I'm just giving the club a heads up. Hopefully it can stay here amongst the faithful.

:drool::drool::drool: it's gorgeous!
sure you want to sell that? seems like everyone who sells their BaCHs end up regretting it…
you can tell that started out as a II as it seems BaCH never observed Gibson knob spacing……

Nice! I'm going to assume it's been re-finished correct? (or not) Either way it looks pretty much the same as how I had Chucky's II finished by Pat Wilkins, some variant of Olympic white.
