NBD: B is for...

Bacchus, blocks and binding?

 

I don't really play 5 strings anymore so decided to move on my beloved 04 Bacchus Standard 5. I love the tone of it, but have just accepted that 4 bangers are where I'm most comfortable.

 

 

Then I had an idea and found this Woodline in Japan from the same era, when they had the "Handmade" range with the two-piece Deviser bridge. After repairing some things the seller amazingly omitted to disclose, and a thorough clean, this thing is just what I was looking for. I still think I'll install a Bart XTCT preamp I have knocking around to get me exact tone of the 5 string, though, however it is lovely sounding as is.

 

Anyway, here it is.

Such fine basses made me forget all about Fender.
