ped Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Picked it up yesterday. It is fabulous - very happy with her. The sound is really tight and detailed, the B string is fantastic. I will probably do a proper review soon but for now, here are some pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJE Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 That is an absolute stunner. I have heard a lot about these basses and the amazing quality, where can one try one of these bad boys? are there any dealers or shops in the UK or do you have to get them shipped over?

bass_ferret Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Nice - whats with the funny little scratch plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 NJE - you have to get them shipped over at the moment. I got this one direct from Bacchus after looking for this model at various shops in Japan. I have been playing with it all afternoon and got the setup about perfect but want to clear my head and come back to it later. By the way - If I cannot sell my amplifier I may end up having to sell this bass to pay for my operation. I will let you know but if you might be interested let [i]me[/i] know. It would be a damn shame but last in, first out. We will see. bass_ferret - they seem to quite like transparent squared off scratchplates over there, there is a similar one on my jazz. i think they look superb, and of course they do the job nicely! I will put up some clips later ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 That sample was with the bass and treble bosted on the bass somewhat, I was playing along with a track with not much else in it so wanted to fill it out. It has a gorgeously smooth deep sound like that. I will do some flatter samples soon, but having some problems with my recording gear at the moment, I hope to iron it out tomorrow!

ped Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 I have been hard at work today doing some basslines for some tunes - I went with the Bacchus 24 on two of them, here are the first take results which will give you a flavour of this bass in a band context!

ped Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 Ignore the bleeps and things at the strat, thats the sync track. This is a soul kind of number, with some fingerstyle bass and the occasional pop 'n' slap This one is a deep and fat soundtrack sort of vibe with some low bass and strings.
