Bacchus Craft Series Standard-JB Ash/R Tangerine Metallic 2010
Bacchus Standard-JB, tangerine metallic, made in Japan 2010. Bacchus came out in the late 90s, offerings vintage inspired instruments dialled in for precise playability out of Japan. This one was a limited run take on their excellent JB-style model, so you get some cool unusual touches: dot inlays, tort guard, gold hardware and an outrageous metallic orange finish. It looks flash: like some kind of rude hot rod racer, tricked out and ready to tear through the streets. The neck is comfy and quick, with a slick little 60s style round profile, tightly grained maple and super dark rosewood and very tidy workmanship. The pickups deliver the goods too: bright, clean and fat, with a snarly midrange and a plump, immediate bass response. This is really good, and if you don't think it looks incredible, you're going to need to go home and rethink your life.
