Impressed by Bacchus jazz basses. Any thoughts/experience?

[CameronJ 1,637]

I just had a lengthy session at @thebassgallery and played both of the Bacchus jazzes in the OP.

SWEET LORD THEY'RE GOOD.

Honestly, I was pretty blown away. Lovely craftsmanship, great feeling necks, sound like a Jazz Bass should. The series/parallel push/pull on the passive red one was very cool too. Kind of gave the bass the versatile feel of an active bass but without thinking about batteries. Glorious.

Now I want one even more. May have to move one of my existing herd on, but I have no idea what could go on the chopping block 😨

Thanks for all the feedback and insight. I have now bought the passive red Bacchus from the gallery (sorry CameronJ) and they are fitting a Sadowsky preamp and a ramp to it. Hopefully pick it up Friday!

To be honest I’m glad you’ve removed the temptation! Enjoy it buddy.

And happy Christmas to everyone here!

Not sure if this is aimed at me, but I bought mine from the Gallery, so nil.
