Bacchus, Show 'em if you've got 'em!

Would he cut me one Fredrick? I would love to see how much he would charge? I assume that would work on my 24DX 5 string?

 

[Zoot H Rollo]

i would need to create one for the 5 string since the pickup is larger.

and the neck cutout, of course.

not sure if my tech is open for the pickguard biz or not.

i will check.

 

[Zoot H Rollo]

here's a pic of the laser cut test piece.

NAILED IT!

gonna cut the .060" acrylic next week!!!

 

[Zoot H Rollo]

here's my Bacchus fretless with the epoxy coated board.

amazing!!! like glass.

he did a nitro seal coat first, then 3 coats of epoxy.

should get this today!!!

 

[Zoot H Rollo]

Gonna slap some rotosound nickels on her today.

Great buy!!!

 

[AngelCrusher]

Very nice. Around how much did that neck cost you? I was looking to buy an Ebony neck one day for my Craft and heard it could be rather expensive.

 

[Zoot H Rollo]

It came with the bass.

I just had my tech treat it.

He did a nitro seal and 4 coats of epoxy.

Then he rolled the edges.

Like and old glove.

 

[AngelCrusher]

Very cool. The Bacchus necks are so perfectly straight. Fender could really learn a few things from them.

 

[Zoot H Rollo]

Agreed!!!

This neck is crazy straight.

The rotosounds are great and perfect for this bass.

DeviseR/Bacchus/STR never cease to amaze.

Funny thing, this is their cheap line.

Danny was gracious to snag me one though he doesn't usually carry it.

My tech did an amazing job. Had to clean up the neck pocket a bit and shim about .020".

He's stunned by my STR and Baccus instruments.

Now i am 2nd thinking selling my STR.

HA!!!

I am done for now.

Just waiting for my clear pickguard and everyone will be all dressed in their sunday best.

 

[Zoot H Rollo]

SOOO!!!

i just got the clear pickguard from my tech!

AMAZING! LOOKS FANTASTIC - and it's thinner, so no issue with finger popping.

the original guard was 1/8" thick, this clear one is 1/16" thick.

PERFECTION.

pics when the sun comes up.

AND, my tech said he would be happy to cut custom guards for TB members.

not cheap, but around $60.

if anyone is interested PM me and we can make arrangements.

I would need a few dimensions and a full frontal pic of the body to create the 3D model.

kicks butt!!!

 

[Zoot H Rollo]

Would he cut me one Fredrick? I would love to see how much he would charge? I assume that would work on my 24DX 5 string?

as i just posted, he said he would.

let me know.

 

[Bassworship1]

I would like to get a clear one for my Bacchus 24DX 5 string. Let me know if he can do it.

 

[Bassworship1]

I want to see yours installed, but yeah I definitely want one.

 

[Zoot H Rollo]

I will post a pic tomorrow.

It is just lovely to see the full top.

Yours would be KILLER!!!

He will definitely do it.

I think you have the same pickups as my Sierra 5. I can use that to measure for a starting point.

I am not making any money from this by creating the drawings.

I just love doing it.

 

[Zoot H Rollo]

here is the clear guard my tech cut for me.

 

[Bassworship1]

I definitely want one cut for mine. When do you think he will have time to work on it?

 

[Zoot H Rollo]

i will check.

do you want the thinner 1/16" or like the original Bacchus guard thickness of 1/8".

i wanted the 1/16" because it doesn't interfere with my finger popping.

i will have to find time to draw it up too.

 

[Zoot H Rollo]

pretty darned sweet, eh?

i love it!!!

 

[Bassworship1]

I would rather have the original Bacchus thickness.

 

[Zoot H Rollo]

I would rather have the original Bacchus thickness.

ok, no problem.

that would be similar to the one DeviseR cut for me for my Sierra.
