Bacchus VS Sadowsky Metro

Folks - I am selling my 24F because I have had my operation on my neck already (very fast work) and can't work for a few weeks/months, and will need the money to balance my finances. A real shame, but I am trying to keep it in the 'family' over on my forum so I will hopefully have it back asap - as my fourth bass it is kind of a luxury I cannot afford at the moment. PM if interested, the advert is here: http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3551&st=0&p=37926&#entry37926

i finally got a reply back. It wasn't in my spam box. However, after replying back asking for a price (again) I haven't heard back for 4 days. I think I'll stick with sadowsky, thank you very much. :)

What point are you trying to make? You seem like you're attempting to bag out Bacchus every chance you get. I've never had a bad experience with Bacchus, from customer service to product quality. From what I've gathered, others feel the same way :)

That's bad news mate! I'd buy it if I wasn't broke! Hope everything works out.

Chill out - I didn't email bacchus, I emailed one of the Japanese dealers. Therefore, I wasn't bagging out Bacchus.

Regarding quality vs Sadowsky, as I stated. The bass I had wasn't anywhere close to the Sadowsky in quality though it did sound great for a relatively inexpensive bass.
 
gonna be in the market for a highend Jazz style pretty soon and I've been checking out Bacchus and Sadowsky after seeing lots of praise for them on here. I can get a Bacchus (passive) for about half the cost of the Sadowsky. Which is the better value? Is it worth the extra $$$ for the Sadowsky? I'd have to order either without playing so I really want to get it right. Anyone own both? Pros/Cons of each? thanks a lot
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.
