Bacchus Strong 5 Bass

A short clip of the bass. Still getting used to the 36 scale. Large fret spacing. Love the tight B. The Flip cam mic bottomed out. When i slapped the low D. But you get a idea of the sound. Very punchy and clear. Have not been able to put it down. They no longer make this model. ‎3 band bartolini pre amp & Bartolini pick ups. Bass & Mid full-Treble half. DRs long neck strings. Fender Rumble amp set flat. My buddy Frank, comes across the coolest basses. Handmade out of the Deviser factory in Japan. Very well made. Deviser are arguably the best boutique guitar manufacturer in Japan. They are the parent company of many well known brands.

@Vizillar2505 Well in my opinion Bacchus has a more classic sound like Fender and The Rickenbacker. And Warwick does have Thunderous notes but it all lies on the electronics you use and and the thickness the neck of the bass

@Vizillar2505 I am finding it to be, a real player. The long scale was easy for me to get used to. And the tone gets comments. From who ever hears it. The craftsmanship is next to none. As good a build as any. Of all the bass, i have played. Alembic included. I do believe the Bacchus's. Started out to be, a better Fender. They have many J-Bass models. My advice has always been. Play what ever you like. How YOU hear! The way a bass should sound. Is all up to YOU. Bass On!

@jvmc08 WW gives you a whole different bass from this man. WW gives you this meaty solid mid range sounds and "HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THAT IS STRONG" kinda lows but the highs...(to my ears)ngehh. WW make great basses dont get me wrong, owned a thump and like it, but Bac gives you this "modern" sounds with sweet clear, very defined, although not as boomy, notes throughout all ranges and I love them. So for me it's BACCHUS ALL THE...if not metal songs...WAYYYY

Bacchus makes very high quality basses. Even better than Fender. I tried one the other day, it was amazing.
