Details

As my 4-string bass purge continues, here is a stunning bass that is probably the most beautiful that I have ever owned. The only reason to let is go is that it is a four string and I am now playing 5 strings and don't see myself going back. (Still keeping the vintage basses just in case :laugh:).
The original listing is here: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/anniversary-limited-edition-bacchus-dx-4-japan-custom-shop.1535880/
I probably would not be able to describe it as well as the prior owner has in the thread, but I think words and pictures still don't do it justice. This bass is on par or better than any other boutique bass (and I have owned many).

As per the previous owner, it has had a fret finishing / enhancement by Kevin Brubaker (details in the above mentioned thread)... All I can say is that frets are impeccable.

Bass is in pretty much brand new condition.
Comes with the original heavily padded gig bag.

NOT REALLY LOOKING FOR TRADES but you never know... GAS is a disease! BUT, consider only FSOs (fender shaped objects) or a Tobias.

Will split shipping to CONUS.
PayPal F&F / Venmo / Zelle / Cash payments accepted.
Thank you

That is one beautiful instrument!
I have a Momose '70s-style J bass that was made in the same Aska factory as these Bacchus Handmade/Customs, it's a world-class bass.

GLWTS!

I agree... This is actually better than all my boutique basses to be honest... But for now I am keeping only the vintage 4 strings and otherwise sticking to 5s for now... and this bass needs to get out a play :bassist:
