I keep finding something I 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘧𝘯'𝘵 buy.

Sure is tempting, though. I guess I can buy it and sell a few of my Squiers.

Bacchus Handmade...they don't get any better!

That's probably the closest I've ever seen a piece of wood look like a pair of jeans! 

 

Jokes aside, that looks great! I love the wood pickguard, control plate and pickup covers too.

 I've tried a few.  They definitely look the part but I've found them to be a bit lifeless for a jazz bass.  It doesn't make sense given they look so good on paper.  I found Peavey basses the same way as well.  If I was in the market for a japanese made Jazz bass, the Moon JB5 would be top of my list.  And there is always Sire.

I thought Sire basses were made in Indonesia?

Are those covers all wood? Or just a veener?

Wenge pickguard, control panel, and pickup covers.

I really want it, it's here in the US, but I'm worried about the crack at the screw. Wouldn't want it to grow larger.

I had a parts Jazz years ago that had Padauk 'plates. They picked up cracks which I glued, then sanded/polished out. Comes with the territory.

Woodlines are/were Japan handmade. Woodline just meant passive. The Standards were active. Top one here is a Woodline which I lopped a Sadowsky pre into, most definitely Japanese.

Looks great. It says it’s a “Woodline” model. Aren’t they made in the Philippines? Almost certainly not Japan.

They are, I was just suggesting it was another option.  Not necessarily a japanese made option.
