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'.
Internal Cut/boost trim for Notch Filter & Pickup(s) Balance
Custom wound J + MM pickup configuration.
Normal rrp (USA) is $1850

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.

Thanks for the positive comments guys...... I'm only selling this one to fund a Deity 5 with a more exotic/fancy top: great basses generally.
