Bacchus Woodline Ash, black oil, made in Japan 2014. This is such a great bass. Deviser's long running Craft Series delivered their famous Aska Japan workshop craftsmanship at pretty manageable prices, so they were super popular in Japan for a long while. The Woodline basses were modernised takes on the Jazz Bass, so you get a slim, fast neck, two single coils and pretty traditional hardware. But, you get some cool very-Bacchus touches too: oil finish, heel-end truss adjuster with easy access, generous taper to the  neck for speed and accuracy, a pretty pearl guard and matching headstock and a cool passive boost function on a push/pull pot. The quality of woodwork and finish on this is remarkable, so it feels very lively and convincing in the hands. The oil finish is great too, it's got a sleek touch to it and shows natural wear more quickly than a poly clearcoat. The tone is thick and juicy: heaps of midrange growl and character, assured fatness on the low end and enough chime and sweetness on the top to cut through a mix when required. I reckon these compete very favourably indeed with most USA production model basses, you could easily spend two or three times the cash and get a bass that's not as good. Very enjoyable!
