I also had to order a one-off pearloid tuner button specislly made by Gotoh to replace the broken one as there wasn’t a single spare one on this planet 😂

Hey, anyone recently tried on of these Bacchus basses (https://bacchus-guitar.com/bacchus-eb-search) ? Seems like nice instruments.  Any advice about built quality/sound ?  

This is a U.K. dealership in the south of England...https://theguitarden.co.uk

Be careful with the 'free shipping' bit because there's always duty to pay. In the past I have a feeling Japan Direct have undervalued items in order to avoid taxes which is risky at best.

I've had two Bacchus basses that I imported myself from Japan. With wonderful. The Jazz had no forearm cutaway so was a bit uncomfortable to play seated but the TwentyFour I had next was just sublime in every way. It had the 'Smith' sound in spades and was just great to play. I sold both when I rationalised my collection down to four strings, then one four string.

I have some recordings made with both basses I'll dig out.

Cheers

About the duty: in your case it was a Japan-UK delivery so yes, duty around 20%. Those guys are in France so no duty (until december i guess...)

Just done a review of a WL534 I bought recently.
