Thomas P Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) New price: 1000£ New listing as previous was priced incorrectly, plus addition of spare set of PU's. Open to offers and trade with other 5 string. Willing to add money for the right instrument. Hi All This is an elder 2011 bass that very likely never has seen a rehearsal room, nor a scene. It is as new part from one tiny ding on the rear of the neck, and some surface marks on the edge of the body from resting in a stand. 34" scale, 44mm nut width, 18mm string spacing, 4.4. kg and passive. Ash body stained in a nice brown color with matching scratchplate, which, stills has the protective film attached Ash neck with rosewood fretboard with beutiful inlays. Slightly tapered profile from a flat D in the upper rigister to a more soft C shape at the head. Quite nice actually. Furthermore there's a Tortoise binding along the edge of the neck. High quality passive electronic parts, dead quiet but still room enough for an onboard pre-amp like a John East model. I have a pair of new Kent Armstrong HB5E3N/B pick up's which fits in the slots for the existing PU's. They'll be supplied along with the bass as part of the buy. I've found a youtube link containg this model in a 4 string ash fretboard version. Due to the playing style of the reviewer it doesn't really indicate the versatility and quality of the instrument. The second link, despite a different, and lower prices model, is better. Price contains a 50£ reserve for shipping, if above we split the rest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xICAjwAd4V0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhsX29DnLTg Kind Regards Thomas Edited January 13, 2021 by Thomas P Photo added 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas P Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 I`d actually categorize it more as a supercharged passive Jazz, with plenty of Omphh but still clear as a grand piano. A bit torn about whether to keep it. Only reason it shouldn`t cost as much as say a used Mike Lull (which I played earlier)is that Bacchus isn`t particular well known in Europe, contrary to Asia.

Al Krow Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) Out of interest - what is the make and model of the two reverse P pups you have in the pics? Edited December 26, 2020 by Al Krow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas P Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Morning. They are in-house Bacchus Custom P. Remarkable clean and even sounding PU`s. Just a slight twist of one of the volume pots, and the sound changes. Same with moving the right hand position where the strings are played. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
