Here is my DX-5. Killer bass. I did change the stock tuners to Gotoh Res-O-Lites and knocked off around 8 ounces.
There is the BPB-100EX available now. It is a P bass in the Craft Japan series. Comes in 4 finishes and maple or rosewood fingerboards. And at a really good price point.
That is a welcome development, thank you for pointing that out.

that’s a good thing given their reputation with the Jazz basses.
** in the local (Japan) market, competition for new p basses in this price range (approx. USD 1000 Msrp) AFAIK are Fender Mexico, Fender Japan, Fujigen, Tokai and Schecter. I don’t think ESP brands (like Edwards, Ltd, etc) have p basses in this bracket
The Craft series BPB-100 EX was released on my request, otherwise they did not plan to have a P bass in their line up. There are 36 pcs made all together.
I'm considering picking up a Bacchus. I usually prefer active electronics but thinking about passive here with the turbo switch. Anybody have any comparison between Bart TCT and passive/Woodline pickups?

My B string on my Bachhus is fantastic. One of the very best I've ever had, including the $1000+ basses I've owned.
Appreciate the feedback on the quality of the B string. I do want a strong B. If Bacchus ain't got that, than no go for me. Good to hear some positive comments. Anybody here played a Roscoe or Modulus, Smith or MTD to compare to? Those are some of the best B's in my book. Sadowsky, not so much. Hit or miss there it seems.
B string on my Bacchus was very good. Not the best, but very good. I had no issues with it and I've owned several 5 strings.
Fit and finish, play ability was pretty amazing on mine. As much as I want to be I'm just not a jazz bass guy. Minute they come out with a MIJ P bass I'm on it.

I’ve owned a few basses from every one of those companies and the B string on the Bacchus is still great.
Bacchus Woodline WL-MGC, Global series. Mango wood body. I don't think they make this one any more.
