Brian by Bacchus Jazz Bass, made in Korea late 90s, teal finish. Surely in all of guitar history, no brand name as ever been as simultaneously daggy and awesome as 'Brian'. Bacchus guitars enjoy a famed reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, attention to detail and wood selection in Japan, so much so that they really haven't bothered marketing their excellent offerings internationally. Brian was Bacchus' first shot at manufacturing outside of Japan, and were made very briefly in the late 90s in Korea.

 

Own a bass called Brian!

I picked up a couple of these Jazz basses locally, they are both excellent, IMHO this one sounded better to me with a mellower tone but it's a wee touch heavier! All the information I can find, which is minimal, is that these are made for Bacchus in Korea. They bass has seen some action but it is in decent condition for a bass from the 90's I changed the scratchplate, the one that came with it was not original.

 

It's a great bass but I don't need two!

Now if it had been called Gerald...

Does Brian count as an extra band member for payment purposes?

Hi this looks really nice, however I don't understand the part of the advert where you say "It's a great bass but I don't need two!"
