Machines Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Swapped my Corvette $$ 5 for this with detune_jazz (thanks again !). I initially wanted a Fender Miller Jazz but to be honest, this is superior in every way possible. I'm waiting for full details about it from Bacchus, but it's obviously a Swamp Ash body / Brazilian rosewood neck with body and neck binding. It does absolutely every sound I want it to. The EQ is very powerful and only needs a little tweak either way full good effect. It plays terribly easily and after coming from a Warwick neck is a breeze to get around.

josh3184 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Nice! Love the look of Bacchus'. Effortlessly classy! Especially the clear pickguard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I almost bought that bass from detune jazz a while ago. It's a lovely instrument, especially with the decorative binding around the edge of the body. I only decided against it due to the slab body edges. Lovely instrument! Nice score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray5 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Lovely looking bass. I do like the look of that bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice score [/quote] The back is still contoured so it doesn't cause me a problem. The clear pickguard really sets it off and it wouldn't look anywhere near as classy with white/black etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardHimself Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Those slab sided don't really look my thing, i guess it is quite interesting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Jazz finally let it go!! Ha. This bass is awesome. Tried it and loved it. I know he was in two minds about parting as well... We are both off to see Bernie @ GB tomorrow so I'm sure I will hear a 'I miss that Bacchus' story in the car. This has an ultimate jazz bass tone, and the feel of a bass worth a goof grand over its actual cost. Top bit of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 I've spent a good couple of hours getting to know it today, I am astounded by it still - there really isn't anything more I could ask of it. I've played a lot of expensive Fender styled basses (Nordstrand, Shuker etc) and this is an easy match in terms of build quality and tone. Please tell Jazz no refunds or exchanges are accepted without a receipt . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Thought as much... Jazz's kicking himself for shifting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
