Probably going to be a short thread, but I know there's a few of them out there. Any others in the U.S.?
Show 'em if you've got one! 
From last Sat. night.  |

Here's a few pics of mine, super good bass!    |

It says it's a new model:
The Model of :2007 Bacchus Universe Series.
"BJB-5-700"
I'm tempted  |

I'm tempted | Wow that's strange! I know that Headway Guitars make the majority of Bacchus guitars and basses, maybe there is another company that makes more budget models or something. They definitely look worthy of checking out! |

A friend of mine said they make the cheaper models in Korea. I will find out more from him about this.
They look superb value though... |

| | | | Hey y'all.
I've seen these basses around and go for real cheap.What's the deal, are they comparable to an American Fender or Japanese or what?
Cheers

Cheers | I purchased mine a few years back, and it is more than comparable to Fender, Sadowsky, or any high-end jazz bass copy you can name. I am convinced that for the money, you cannot find a better bass.
The basses that are currently listed on ebay are the Universe series, of which I am not familiar with, but I have only heard good things about them, and I'm sure anybody who plunks down the cash will not be disappointed. |
