My two Bacchus buddies! My newest one on the right has the sickest roasted flame maple neck. And a sweet playing neck. The one on the left I installed an Audere preamp. Both sound amazing! Shame these are not easily available here in the US.

Also loving this company. I found an older Model Twenty Four a couple years ago - maybe the nicest materials, craftsmanship, and sound all rolled into one instrument that I've ever brought home. Turns out that the neck (4-string) is too narrow for my hands to tolerate, but I just can't bring myself to get rid of this honey of a bass for now.

Actually considering the gamble of getting a 5-string version of this model and converting it to a 4-string to give me a better fitting neck. I could also go the Warmoth route, but converting a 5'er would probably be more of an adventure...

The maple with pearl inlay Bacchus J just catch my eye balls.

Since my cheapo BJB1RSM has similar build quality, awesome factory fretwork and solid neck match both expensive Fender Am Performers J and Yamaha TRBX 504, i do believe both your Bacchus has AM Pro level or better.

Definitely better. I would compare it the older Japanese Sadowsky Metro basses which I had one years back.
