Can I have a P please, Bob?

Doctor J

Though the job conspired to keep me away from the post office for two days, I was able to pick up this Bacchus Woodline P Classic this weekend.



No surprises or skullduggery here, it's pure P country, no shenanigans, no funny business, just a P bass as it ought to be.



Though they do tend to sculpt the heel a bit more than others



It's a good P sized neck, chunky but not ungainly



Immaculate fretwork as usual



The burst is so subtle how it fades from yellow to red to black, I haven't seen anything like it



TBH I would have rather waited for a while before buying but with the way Bacchus make instruments (make a model for a few months and then never make it again) I had to jump since these are already discontinued.

Anyway, this thing ****ing rocks in every aspect so there's no point in going into detail, that's about as much as I can say

Oh yeah, except for the side dots on the neck... they glow in the ****ing dark, what a simple but brilliant idea

It wasn't me!

It looks classy and classic Doc. Fair play.

leninbenjamin

Absolutely gorgeous looking thing. We'll need an updated family picture along with some 12 bar blues

Definitely a lot more classic looking than your other ones, but I'm sure it sounds and plays great. We do need updated family pics though.

And if you like glowing side dots, imagine what LED's could do for you

Yeah, then he can be just like Billy Sheehan!

I don't think he has the red PVC pants. At least, I hope he doesn't :eek:

Creamy Goodness

anyone disappointed to get a bland wooden floor in the pictures with such a beautiful piece of wood in it?

bass looks great J, got the right amount of strings too

feylya

Look at the flame in the 5 picture at the top horn! How can you call that floor bland?

+1 The floor has more figuring that the bass!

Redjeep!

Real pretty.

Funny thing I've always found about sunburst basses is that they never, ever look too good in photos, but in reality they look fantastic. The different colours never seem as apparent in a photo.

Made me want a 5 string jazz in 'burst now....

No doubt provided by Radium-88 or Caesium-137. But hey, bassists can always use an extra arm or eye on that side!

Nice bass!

And that's the beauty of them, Fey, a functional addition rather than a phallic compensation

2nd hand from the u-box before, but this one is brand new from www.guitarjapan.com - their prices are in dollars so they're unwittingly offering a 40% discount at the moment

Nice one man!

You kept this one fairly quiet though - were you afraid I was gonna blackmail you or sell this information to your missus?

Of course. I can't afford it ffs and if the missus copped it was a new one it'd be lonely this crizzzmus, as Elvis/Alvin Stardust/Shakin Stevens/Mud (I can't remember which) said. It'll go great with that Telecaster you're giving me
