Hi @TorVic

I think that they would fit yes. It's difficult to be 100% accurate and without hesitation, as the measurements on the Aguilar website / link you posted seem to be in inches with a decimalised ending... Or am I being a bit stoopid??

For example, length of the Aguilar bridge is 4.100 - The bacchus is about 4 1/8" but with a cavity which is about 4 1/8"... the distance between screwholes is 1.920, the bacchus is about 1/16" under 2 inches... based on these, i think they would fit. 

Someone could correct me if I am wrong?  

I would have thought similar as the scale length is so close to a 34 but will check..

I'm not sure... The bass is in my studio so can let you know tomorrow??

Weekend special price of £520 delivered!!

Thanks for pointing this out @Quent

Good to know. I checked it on Android and it was ok...

Very basic sound files - please excuse the simplicity of this - it was a bassline I recording as a loop for a student but at least you can hear it. Volume and tone up full with both pups equal.

String spacing at the bridge - 18mm.

Also, scale length: I did a bit of double checking and it's 33.5" at the B string and 33.25" at the G string.

Probably why it doesn't feel a lot different to a 34" scale! 

Maybe I should have said in my opinion I don't feel any difference between this and my SR5. Everyone is different - I played a 32" scale once and it felt like a toy bass, and I cannot get on with 35" scale, feels huge to me. Anyhoo... I can only offer what I think.

Price drop to £550 delivered?

Can include delivery for £600 if that tempts anyone??

Very nice 

Cheers... It's a great bass and pains me to sell. I was going to make a red tortoiseshell scratch plate for it as well, it would have looked soooo good!!

It is great, it annoys me that I have to sell it. Seems to be a similar story from what I read on BC....

Bacchus WL-533 Woodline Jazz Bass 5 String for sale due to finances / lack of gigs. 😡

Picked up recently in a trade and I wouldn't be selling it other than I need a cash injection to maintain some stability! 

It is in as new condition, no dings or marks and has the lovely matching headstock. 33" scale length although I couldn't tell any difference between that and my SR5 which is 34" scale. Comes with the Bacchus soft gig bag. Not the best but vertainly usable.

Made in Phiilipines and assembled in the Japan factory, passive electronics with volume, pup pan and tone controls, it's great sounding and great playing. Not much else for me to say really! I can post at the buyers expense (should be around £25 insured) and I will say that price is negotiable within reason. I'm just trying to re-coup some expense which will hopefully enable me to replace this with something cheaper and have some spare cash.

If local, any trial is welcome and I have had the setup tweaked a bit - the neck is straight as a die and the action is nice and low with no buzz. I will add some more pics soon (original pics from Mustafunk) - any questions, get in touch.  

Paul bought my Peli case - a pleasure to do business with!

Top BC'er!

If you're generally driving / being driven, cheap alu flight cases are a pretty good option. Have amp head, power supplies, pedals and cables in one..

Tbf have also taken this on train, with bass on back, and cab in other hand.. 

 

That's funny, as that's where I ended up. I found a good deal on Amazon so if it doesn't work out for me, not a big loss! Interesting to see what other people are using though...

Global series Bacchus basses retail new around the £750 - 900 range in Europe.

S/H values according to condition, age, active/passive etc. Ballpark £400 to 600, I'd guess.

Hope this helps.

Top job - thanks for that. Any personal experience?

That's so rock n roll....

Hi all... I'm being offered a Bacchus WL-533 (Phillipine model) being offered as a partial trade on a bass but I have no idea of the value of these basses. It sounds good, looks good, right scale length and measurements all look good so it will be a bit of a punt...

What's the value? Anyone bought one recently? Anyone have one which they can share some info on?

Thanks! 

Hi all,

I need to source a new case for gig accessories - leads, pedal, extension lead, ipad cradle etc... I am ditching a photo backpack - what are people using?

No bag for life ideas please... anyone got anything cool they want to share or possibly sell?

Cheers all!

Carl.

Will split - £55 delivered anyone?

There are two of these...

If it doesn't go I will repurpose!

It is... Just a shame that's it's a bit too small for what I want. 😡

Price is negotiable... I have found something I am interested in if a cash sale is possible...

Offers anyone??
