Hello guys,

I am about to pull the trigger on this beatiful bass, but I don’t have much infos about it. It is from 2008 and the name of this particular model is Japan hand made JB bass Woodline ALD4. It suposed to be more high-end model.
Do you guys have more infos and if so, I would really appreciate it

Thanks

ALD4 stands for alder body, 4 strings so a good start right there.
Japan : another big plus.
Hand made : woodwork will be perfect, no worries.
My first bass was a p bass from Bacchus, Craft series made in Japan and quality and woodwork was the same as a Custom Shop from Fender, no kidding.
So in terms of quality, no doubt it will be very good.
As for the sound, if you can’t give it a try, well, you will only know when you will receive it.
Can’t be that bad but we never know……..
And for the year of fabrication, I wouldn’t worry about it that much because when they are made in Japan, they are built to last.

Well that’s good then because if the price is low, this may allow for a pickup upgrade if needed but quite honestly, I think it will be enough as is.
As a rule of thumb, for equal quality, these Bacchus basses are half price compared to American products so you can’t go wrong.
And let me know how it sounds when in your hands !

Yes, I’ll let you know. Thanks again

Wow, very affordable for that quality !
Probably 1/3rd of the price of an American equivalent then.
