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

[ped]

They are indeed mate - very nice sounding too, really detailed and full sounding.

 

[Doctor J]

Beautiful. Nice one

What are the controls?

 

[FL Knifemaker]

Congrats man!! She's a beauty.

 

[ped]

Thanks chaps - the controls are Volume, Balance, Treble and Bass.

 

[Doctor J]

What does the switch do?

 

[ped]

The switch is the bypass for the pre-amp.

I have been playing around with the setup all afternoon and think I have it pretty spot on now. i am having a rest so I can go back to it later and feel what it is like with a clear head!

Cheers

Hey guys,

Does anyone know the width at the nut for the Bacchus precision? I didn't see a measurement on the website.

Thanks,

Robert

I just got a Bacchus g****r. Lordeh! I know it's a cardinal sin to post such things on this forum and I do apologise, but I just had to point out the level of detail you need to go down to in order to hand-file side scallops into the fretboard between every fret... on both sides

and a full shot

Sorry about posting a bad kind of instrument, but my fellow Bacchusites, I trust you will understand

Beautiful! I just love the Bacchus headstock!

Just found this Bacchus on Ebay, check out the detail on the binding! Oh man!

Hey guys - killer looking basses all round!

just a slight hijack - what is the finish on these?

 

[needmoney]

Hey mate, the Standard models are an oil finish (woodgrain), the Woodline models are a thin lacquer - non buffed (coloured woodgrain), and the Woodline Classics are a top lacquer - buffed (solid colour). I'd have to confirm to find out exactly what top lacquer actually means but you know

 

[needmoney]

Okay, just confirmed with the helpful guys at Japan Vintage Guitars... The 'Top Lacquer' description for the Woodline Classic models simply means the final coat is good ol' Nitrocellulose! Yum!

Mine should be here today thanks to TB'er DEbassist! This is definitely going to be a long workday today.

Cool! Be sure to post some pics when you get it!

That's a nice looking one!! I'm curious as to the build quality and sound of the Universe Series.

Me too, but I don't think they'd put out a sub-par product with their name on it. That could ruin their great reputation. I get the sense their situation more like Lakland/Skyline than Fender/Squier. I'm also curious about the Audere preamp after the rave review Bass Player gave it. I'll post when I've played the bass and I'll review it after the "honeymoon" is over.

Looking forward to a full report!

This thread deserves a bump. So here's a couple pics of my 70's style Bacchus Jazz in the making (almost done!)...
