    Bacchus VS Sadowsky Metro

    Dude,I used to own both and I got rid of the mv5..by the way you can get a bacchus woodline handmade series 5 (active/passive),for half the price of the mv5 and in my opinion it will run a sadowsky mv5 out of town,in All aspects.

    your opinion on a new bass, american std or bacchus craft

    I also own a couple of sweet tobias basses,classic 6 and basic 5. I also agree with a previous post.if bacchus was readily available in the states ,sadowsky and fender would have problems. I recently bought an STR bass too. Another great underated bass maker from japan.
