New Bass ....

[ilansgroove]

Went for a small vacation in Tokyo , and came back with this gorgeous BACCHUS 417 AC ...

Sound great , feel great ... looking awesome ....

Don’t know why , but I have the urge to install the Sadowsky pre-Amp kit.

It is currently loaded with Aguilar OBP-2 and it sounds amazing ... but you know ... GAS.

Did anyone here install the Sadowsky kit ? ... anyone on a Bacchus ?

What are your thoughts ??

My thoughts are that I want it. Looks great; love the black and gold look.

yep: looks perfect! best color (or lack thereof) for bass! congratulations on your new instrument!

More proof that Bacchus takes a back seat to no one when it comes to finish variety.

Beautimous!

 

[Polfuste]

Awesome looking bass !

 

[UNICORN BASS]

Lovely, lovely, lovely! I want a Bacchus badly.

Love bacchus and other Japanese brands like FGN. Have foolishly sold both in fits of GAS.

Not as much fun as a gaijin on vacation in Japan, and not as nerve-wracking as waiting out an order from Japan . . . . .

Bacchus, like Moon, et al, have no real American distribution, but they are available thru the Great White North:

www.vsnguitars.com

and lo and behold, FGN is making a small footprint here in the 'States:

www.fgnusa.com (interestingly, this gets you to FGN's worldwide site, then sort thru the 'distributors' tab for the USA: It comes up 'fgnusa.com', but you can't get to it directly . . . . . )

. . . . . I have no relationship with either, just a fan with too much time on his hands in Google Search . . . . .

thanks for the great feedback

now , does anyone know of a the Hipshot Xtender that will fit for a drop D without having to drill new holes?

ilansgroove - beautiful bass. Love the black and gold and the beautiful "ebony" look of the body. Congrats.

Still no luck in finding a drop D tuner for this bass that doesn’t need any drilling ... can anyone help ?
