Ok lads, finally i got some news, i'll send the list of people who wants the Lefty Bachbird to Bach. So now you can send a mail to: bachmusik@bachmusik.com referring to your nickname and they will reply (in a couple of years or four ) with all details.
Remember to be very clear and use simple words. Tell them what colour, how many P.u.'s you want (they also sell a nice Hscase for it) and give them a location for a shipping quote.
They will also send you the payment details, remember to do the transfer in € otherwise you might have to pay extra because somebody somewhere made a mistake with the change.
Good luck.
If you need help let me know.

Roman at Bach sent me a reply that the project has been cancelled...

What??!?
The last i was told is that to make it all easier they have made them all with one p.u. and Trans red.... weird, i'm sorry for that guys.

Oh wait, maybe thats what he was trying to tell me!! I was on the list for a 2 pickup version! So the 1 pickup version is the only version. He asked me if i wanted to buy a 1 pickup version, i thought he was referring to the one on the webstore..

Bas ,

thank You for Your mail .
The project has been drawn the most easy way orginally – TH-1 left hand in one color i.e. transparent red.
TH-1 has only one PU . Unfortunately We have no free PU We could put it on the bass.
Can You accept it ?

Tks for Your reply .

Sorry for creating a little panic.

Thanks for all your hard work on this, Iome. You deserve a lot of credit for dealing with all of our impatient bickering (from myself especially).

Thanks mate, i don't mind doing this, it just piss me off they didn't tell me there only was one version to choose. they must have been working on them for a while, so they could have made it public before...

So they're making it a regular order item now, not a special order requiring 20 people ordering in order to produce it?

Because a one pickup model in translucent red doesn't interest me.

Big disappointment ... Roman replied the same to me, exactly the same mail.

I replied to him asking what is the final price to obtain the two pick up version with the requested finish, still can'get any response.

It's sad to be suspicious but i guess that this lefty thing is a pain in the @$$ from Bach point of view ...

I also put my order in immediately and have not heard back. So let me get this straight: he's basically received at least 5 confirmations or so from lefties so far requesting their 2 PUP models with 15 or so more guys coming, and he still can't justify making any?

I appreciate all your efforts, Iome, but this is typical manufacturer's BS towards lefties. Get our hopes up and then say forget it a year later.

Well I'm out. Not interested in a 1 PUP. Good luck to any of you guys ordering one anyway and let us know if it was worth it.

Yeah I think I'm out too. The whole point of us getting the group together was to make it economically viable for them to produce a batch of lefties to spec. Changing the game after a year of waiting is a dealbreaker for me.

I understand you, guys. I guess they prefer selling them in a regular way for a 100€ more on their site. I'll bet (a Bachbird) they'll soon pop up on their site for 290,63€.
There's even a lefty Fenderbird (with 2 P.U.) available on their site: http://www.bachmusik.com/en/bach-ft-1-or-lh_p1552

Very cool looking bass, but I hate the color.

wow this comes as a big disappointment to me! I really was looking forward to the 2 PU sonic blue one, but in all honesty I cant be interested in a trans red 1 PU... boo!

Thanks you very much iome... well I opted out for other reasons, but Bach answer is a pity. Bacchus seems dificult to manage...

No, wait Bajito, it's Bach (B&CH) from the Czech Republic, not Bacchus, who's a Japanese brand that build fine handmade instruments. Anyway your right, it's damn hard to communicate with them, it's a pitty because the really build some nice basses, i've had a righty TH1, very nice bass worth every cent and even more.
I would buy a one P.U. and (maybe) drill another cavity for a second p.u. but i'm out of dinero and the last thing i need is another bass so i'm passing too I even got a couple of Gibson Tbird p.u.'s laying around waiting for a housing.

my mistake, I edited my previous message !

If anyone does buy one, I would love to hear what you think.

i'm not sure yet but i think i'll give a try to the red fenderbird, if roman won't reply me about getting the nr thunderbird even adding money for the 2nd pick up and requested finish

WOW! I was disappointed and about to cancel, but this changes things!

So close but no cigar. We tried so hard and oh so patient. I am out also.
