CUSTOM ORDER BACCHUS BASS GUITARS

3/9/2014

25 Comments

 

NOTICE: due to reaching manufacture capacity we cannot take orders for bacchus for the time being. we recommend sago or combat as an excellent alternative 

We have been working with Deviser and the Bacchus brand now for a number of years, and over that period of time we have had numerous semi custom orders in various beautiful woods, colors and finishes for their base model, the Woodline DX.

You too can get your very own customized Woodline 4 or 5 string here at bass japan Direct by submitting the order form below for a quote.
We will get back to you ASAP by email with a ball park figure and details on how to proceed if everything looks good and ready to go.
We accept credit card, bank transfer or paypal, and offer payment plans for those of you that want to chip away at paying off your custom beauty!

Bacchus WL-JB Ash Craft Series Passive Jazz Bass

1/8/2014

8 Comments

 
The WL-JB is another Craft Series model that offers a professional grade instrument at
an affordable price.
It has the same functionality as the Woodline DX passive model, but costs less due to mid range
hardware and imported materials rather than the hand sourced light ash used in the Hand Made DX range.
This instrument is still hand made in Japan at the ASKA plant, and the neck and fret board feel just the same as 
the DX. wonderful!

BODY:ASH
NECK:AMERICAN HARD MAPLE
FINGER BOARD:INDIAN ROSEWOOD
RADIUS:340R
SCALE:34inch
MACHINE HEADS:GOTOH GB1
WIDTH AT KNUT:46mm
BRIDGE:GOTOH 205B-5
PICK UP:BACCHUS ORIGINAL
CONTROLS:2Vol,1Tone(Pull up Turbo SW)

My Review.

I think I like this almost as much as the woodline DX apart from the body construction
and weight being heavier. The body being three piece construction is not quite as resonant
and the bridge does not offer the string through option, however, for a passive Jazz bass
around the $1000 mark, this truly kicks ass! I love the neck and fretboard on this, it is nice and rugged
and feels consistent with the rest of the range and also the DX range too.
The hardware looks stylish in black and functions perfectly well, 
the pearloid scratch plate matches the block inlays and trim nicely, and the headstock matches body color. 
A good looking instrument, not to mention good sounding too. 9/10 

You can buy this instrument direct with shipping included in the price, it'll ship tracked and insured with in just about 1 week with EMS to anywhere in the world except South America and Africa which cost an extra $60 to ship from Japan.

Bacchus STD-JB with Aguilar OBP2 Pre-amp

1/8/2014

17 Comments

 
The Craft Series represents cost effective hand made instruments that use imported materials and mid range Gotoh hardware.
The results are incredible instruments that compete with rivals in higher price ranges.
I personally prefer some of the craft series to the DX series for example this one in my opinion is almost as good as the DX5AC, it's just the pre-amp is not a bartolini xtct and it is also not as light.

1 piece Maple neck 34" scale.
Fret Board: Rosewood / Maple with perloid block inlays, twenty one frets 
Body: 3 piece Ash
Bridge: Gotoh GB203
Machine Heads:Gotoh GB1
Pre amp: Aguilar OBP2
Pick Ups- Bacchus Original
Controls, volume, balance treble, mid notch boost, bass notch boost passive / active switch.

My review

This is a superb bass, the neck feels almost the same as the higher priced Woodlline DX's and is just as rugged, holding action and tuning impressively well. I had the action down to around 1.5mm and it played beautifully. I love the sound of the Aguilar, not so sure if I like the bartolini or this better, it's hard to tell....they both have unique characteristics that I like....best to have one of each probably, but anyway I digress...
I simply love the way this bass looks too, it reminds me of the old Bacchus Strong, which was by and large one of the best basses they ever made (which also fetched a fairly high price in it's day), with it's stylized Jazz body and the 5 dials placement not to mention the beautiful lacquer finish and smart black hardware. It just is so stylish, and the pick guard shape to is way cool! I love it, but I prefer the TF ASH over all so this one I gotta give 9/10

Buy this model direct below, ships insured and tracked globally with EMS Japan.

Bacchus TF ASH with Aguilar OBP2

The Craft Series represents cost effective hand made instruments that use imported materials and mid range Gotoh hardware.
The results are incredible instruments that compete with rivals in higher price ranges.
I personally prefer some of the craft series to the DX series for example this one....

The TF ASH is the Craft Series version of the Bacchus high end flagship bass the Twentyfour DX. It has almost the same
functionality as it's higher end cousin but uses slightly lower grade hardware and has an Aguilar OB2 preamp, not a Bartolini XTCT.

1 piece Maple neck 34" scale.
Fret Board: Rosewood with perloid dot inlays / Maple with black acrylic dots, twenty four frets 
Body: 2 / 3 piece Ash
Bridge: Gotoh GB203
Macine Heads:Gotoh GB1
Pre amp: Aguilar OBP2
Pick ups- Bacchus Original Humbuckers
Controls, volume, balance treble, mid notch boost, bass notch boost.

My Review.

This is by far the best bass for my money, although the preamp and pick-ups are not as
versatile as the Bartolini XTCT on the DX twenty four, it still competes, and in my opinion has 
a better neck profile.
The neck is superb, straight as an arrow with a very smooth action. I achieved about 1.5mm action
on this and it has held the tuning and action very well despite temperate change.
The preamp and humbuckers provide for a good array of tone and you can get that really nice honk
on the bridge pick-up. The hardware does it's job reliably and looks very cool in black....
The small body and light weight make this really comfortable to use. 10/10 on price point.
