eubassix Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) Godlyke Disciple 5-string bass in translucent red over an ash body (satin finish). It is THE test bass as reviewed in BassPlayer (USA) magazine in April 2004 (although it has been improved & upgraded since the Review by the addition of the new Godlyke EQ system - as fitted to all current Deity and Disciple basses). Godlyke Instruments are hand-built in Japan by one of their most reputable of small shops with all work being completed by hand (!) - quite similar, in terms of build quality, to the original Bacchus basses. It is, effectively, brand-new and in totally mint condition. The photos pretty much speak for the quality and condition of the bass. Features include:- 2-piece, lightweight & highly figured Ash body (total weight is slightly < 9lbs.) Gotoh chrome plated Tuners Custom, chrome-plated Gotoh Bridge with 19mm string spacing Rock Maple neck (Quartersawn) with 34" and fully adjustable truss-rod 6-Bolt ultra-tight neck joint (cf. Ernie Ball MusicMan) 24-fret Rosewood fretboard 18v. Active Electronics package with Vol., Blend, Bass, Treble and Mid'.

eubassix Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Thanks Daf' & Dill' .. I think that if you use that magnifying+ thingy on the PC/laptop you can bring the Review (BP) up to a full page, legible size. As I mentioned, the -points of the Review (mid vs. NotchF and pickup vol/bal) have both been addressed by the replacement (new) circuitboard. I also reckon their weighing machine is out as I have it on the digital scales @ 9.4lbs. Certainly a viable option to Bacchus (and other quality basses in that price range) with an original design and the MM + J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
