Have you thought about ordering a nice body and all maple neck from Warmoth and putting your bass together yourself?

For my old Harmony P bass (HL6620B) restoration i am looking for a all maple Harmony neck. I ordered a Eden replacement but i'd love to find a original part for it in good working order. (is that even possible? )

Thats one cool bass haha! Is that neck pickup melted?

Yes i did. There is a Orange Drop inside and CTS lefty volume pots. I am going to compare the cap with a MOD oil cap soon. The lefty volume pots still have some on/off function in them by the way. Because the guy who did the routing for the pickup cavities put the humbuckers awfully close to each ...

They are humbuckers.

This is where you can hear them. Its another Dutch guy who put Chi-Sonics in a righty Bachbird.

Had my Bachbird upgrated with Hanson Chi-sonics pickups. It's a bit more versatile now. Also, it also looks a bit better.
On this picture it might look like the bridge pickup is not in line with the neck pickup but its fine.

Sorry for louzy lighting... I make terrible pictures.

A Dutch Bach dealer posted something on a Dutch bass forum about custom colours to choose from in the near future. Also an upgrade to better electronics is considered.

Sounds like a great bass! Would like to see pictures of both sides of the neck, so I know what you're stripe issue looks like. Bottom line, It's a great looking bass, and I'm glad to hear that with just a little tweeking so far, you like the bass.

Here's the pics. They are only of one side but on ...

Mine is just under 9 Lbs (4 kilo).

By the way, I hear from non-lefty Bach owners that the sound benefits from replacing pots and cap with quality items.

I made some pictures today and sent them to Roman at Bach because he did not know what kind of stripes i was talking about. I'll wait for his reaction first before i post them here. I probably can tell you more about it tomorrow.

You can mail them. They have them in stock i think. http://www.bachmusik.com/en/music-instruments

He has some sort of Dutch Bach dealership. It will ofcourse add a little to the total price but it buys you the safety of an extra ...

So here’s the promised review of the Bach BTH-1 TRD LH. Sorry for my terrible English writing. I will try to keep it somewhat readable.

Doing business with Roman at Bach is OK. Friendly questions get you a friendly reply and he is patient. His Englisch is a bit limited but good enough to ...

Thanks!

I don't mind the grain in the Sipo that much, i agree it has its personality. Although i would have preferred a slightly more even kind of mahogany looking grain. I was more referring to this big knot on the edge of the body. There's another smaller one on the other side and a couple of ...

I live in The Netherlands. Including shipping i payed 275 euro (379 US dollar).

Parallel. But its wide enough to have sufficient adjustment space.

Got it!

After all the waiting, it arrived this evening.

First impression straight out of the box: as you can see, they did not use the best looking woods for this particular instrument. I'm not suprised, since the basses of this brand are relatively low budged, they cannot afford to throw away ...

The Fenderbird seems to sound a little snappier due to the maple neck. Sounds great. They have a lefty available.
But i liked the looks of the NR better because the Fenderbird looks to flashy for my own boring appearance :mrgreen:

Here is a 'Bachbird' clip from the same guy.

How long ago did you place your order? Did you sent him a reminder? I did some e-mailing with him and sometimes i have to wait a couple of workdays but he always answers. But keep the language simple.
