All user reviews for the Bacchus Woodline ASH 4

Low made in japan, hand finishing category Bacchus easel in two parts (manufacturing Bacchus), maple neck, beautiful wood, same key (maple) 21 frets.
Passive bass, 2 type pickups Jazzbass Bacchus manufacturing, mechanical gotoh. 2 volume knobs settings, 1 tone setting with a push pull to boost the bass and treble (very effective). Large range of adjustment on each knob. The highs can be a bit excessive.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, narrow (38 Nut) and rather fin.La key is flat. Ideal louse small hands. The wood is beautiful. The bass is not heavy, balanced. The range of sounds is impressive, she can do anything, we are in the registry Jazzbass fender, but it's a much more aesthetically elegant instrument. Need I say more except that it's the perfect bass for who wants to stand fender. It occurs unfortunately hardly used and new one is just a little below the fender US passive. The finish of this instrument is perfect, it has pretty much been played yet, and everything is absolutely perfect

SOUNDS

I had enough passive active low / do not bring me anything extra.
I play on both speakers and a head 2X10 eden ebs reidmar. I'm an orchestral musician varieties come to play a little every style. Note that I am not a fan of slap and can not be judgmental about the abilities of this Bacchus in this area.
If you find a secondhand, failing to go to the new, Go for !!!

OVERALL OPINION

I have this bass since 24 hours and spent several hours with. I was previously a Sandberg California TM 4 kept two months, excellent instrument but did not fit my tastes. There are a few months I was playing on a wave Luthman, and just before a musicman sterling. But I had lots of bass, I play for 45 years and changes very often.
In conclusion, having paid only 700 euros this bass used, the value for money is rather fabulous, but a new Bacchus woodline perfectly justifies the price at which it is proposed.

2 microphones jass bass Bacchus jbt-alv

UTILIZATION

The handle is flat and easy.

This is a low light, well balanced and very enjoyable to play.

The knobs are very accurate.

SOUNDS

Microphones Bacchus jbt-alv are excellent.

They are accurate, balanced, clean and fat, thin with nice bass, nice mids and highs clear and precise.

The grain is, in my opinion, a mix or compromise between the "jazz bass 62" and "jazz bass 75". It growls and is vintage.

Having compared with my Fender mij jb75-us. Snapping is less and less "dynamic". Especially for the slap.

This is a low ideal for jazz, blues, rock and funk. A success.

OVERALL OPINION

If you are looking for a versatile bass with excellent sound violin and jazz bass "62/75", then it is for you.

The only problem is its oiled. I would have preferred a touch of varnish.
