Bacchus Woodline Ash 5, black oil, made in Japan 2010. This is awesome, we love these around here. The Woodline is Bacchus' updated modernised take on the Jazz Bass genre,: JB, but with a faster, flatter neck, an access heel join, chunky super stable hardware, house-made pickups and a classy stain-and-oil finish over a gorgeous ash body. As is always the case with Japan-made Bacchus stuff, the woodwork is top notch: everything in it's place, amazing timber selection, great finish work... super classy stuff. The neck feels fantastic in the hand, and the response is nice and even across all the strings and up and down the whole board, The pickups are a slightly hot take on the vintage sound, and there's a push/pull switch that sends both pickups straight to the jack for a handy little passive boost. This is more convincing to the ears and hands than many USA made instruments at twice the dollars, it's very good indeed.
