Early run of Bacchus’s Global series basses. The previous owner clearly modded the heck out of it, including swapping the strap button from the upper horn to the lower (a lefty?).

This has a nordstrand 2 band and Lindy Fralin 5% under wound pickups from what I’ve gathered. The pickups look exactly like Lindy fralins under the hood and measure the same in dimension and on a multimeter as the specs for the 5% underwound 5 string set.

There is some damage to the paint on the lower horn where the strap button was installed but nothing much else to report on condition. Truss rod adjust well and it sets up very easy. The clear pickguard it would have come with stock is also gone.

Features:
  • blocked and bound neck
  • Lindy Fralin 5% under wound
  • Nordstrand 2 band preamp
  • Bacchus himass bridge
  • Ash body transparent purple finish
  • 34” scale length, 18mm bridge
  • Early global series (Philippines)
  • A little over 11lbs

This is a really sweet bass. I have a handful of other Japanese type basses and need to recoup some funds after a few too many gear investments. Asking $650 shipped

Recorded a quick, silly demo with some slap and finger style through my bergantino super pre with everything set flat and the pickups centered. Very fun to play :thumbsup:

Here are some pictures of the back of the pickups. From the darker copper wrappings, lack of markings, and the wiring, I’m still thinking Lindy fralin but I don’t have another set to compare them to or confirm that against. I read out the resistance on them as 8.9k neck and 9.3k bridge, around 5% less than the standard resistance on the Lindy fralin spec sheet. Cant say for certain what they are, but they sound fantastic!

I’m running a sale for the weekend, hoping to free some funds and give this sweet bass a new home!
