Bacchus WL-434 TRL Jazz Bass Burner Maple Ash Global Series Handmade

Description: Bacchus Global WL-434 TRL Burner Why we love it This bass has all the ingredients to remind you why you started playing music in the first place. It sounds great, feels great, and is fun to play. It sounds great. It has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Bacchus packed tons value and build quality into this series of instruments. Great J-bass tone that will happily snarl and cut through the mix if you wish. Condition This bass is in Very Good condition. There is some wear on the bottom of the lower bout and one small mark on the neck captured in the photos. The metal surfaces have a light but even patina. The neck shows no signs of warping or waviness, and the frets show few signs of wear and have plenty of life left. Truss rod operates as it should with plenty of adjustment room in both directions. The electronics all function as intended. This WL-434 weighs in at 8.4 pounds. Overview This bass comes from the Bacchus Global line handmade in the Philippines at Bacchus’ own factory under the watchful eye of Japanese master luthiers. Just like the made in Japan instruments, this bass shows exceptional attention to detail, craftsmanship, and playability well above its original price point. There is a personality and vibe that is both familiar and distinctly Bacchus. The made in Philippines Woodline series instruments are now discontinued and are getting more difficult to find in good condition. The Global Series WL-434 is very popular as an intermediate grade instrument but can be enjoyed by players of all experience levels. This model is based on Bacchus’ top-of-the-line WOODLINE model and is much closer in build quality to Bacchus’ made in Japan Craft Series instruments than would be expected. The maple neck sports a maple fingerboard with fantastic fret finishing for this price range. Bacchus works “neck magic” across its whole range, and this instrument is no exception. The neck is like a well-worn old friend with a fast modern C-profile with 1.5-inch width at the nut. It offers great comfort and playability across the whole neck. The all-maple neck construction gives a nice bite and focus to the sound. This instrument has a nice elasticity and punch to note definition, is responsive to touch, and has plenty of headroom as you dig in. It is noticeably resonant even unplugged. While it can do the clean-and-friendly-bass-for-all-seasons thing, and is well-balanced across low, mid, and high frequencies, it really shines with aggressive rock tone. Whether picked or plucked, this bass can snarl. Plug it in to a driven tube amp and crank it to 11. Let us know if you have any setup or string preferences and we will be happy to accommodate if possible prior to shipping the bass. Aria Pro II 45-105 roundwound strings are currently installed. This bass is set up bass for medium-low action (around 2mm E). The neck is adjusted for optimal relief, pickup height has been set, and intonation is dialed-in up and down the neck. This bass includes a good condition padded Bacchus gig bag.
