Bet ya cant guess whom is responsible??????? :P

feylya · 02-03-2009 11:03PM

We can't blame Santa Claus for everything!

Looks fantastic man! You better bring it to the next meet up

Alanstrainor · 02-03-2009 11:11PM

Oh God i Hate You!!!!!
I've been GASing over that guitar for ages now!
I think you should give it to me?
Is that the one up on ebay, think hiashi is the seller?

Ravelleman · 02-03-2009 11:22PM

Looks like an excellent choice. I looked long and hard at that one myself! I expect it to make an appearance at the next meet up.

Dord · 02-03-2009 11:44PM

DANG that's tasty! I'll have to come along to the next one...

The P90 love is spreading... spreading...Mahwhwahahahahahaa ha

Wow man, she's a beauty - congrats!

Not so good for Doc's blood pressure though...:pac:

punchdrunk · 02-03-2009 11:57PM

Red Sleeping Beauty · 03-03-2009 12:59AM

Is that this one - http://cgi.ebay.ie/New-Bacchus-LP-Duke-Master-P90-Gold-Top_W0QQitemZ390024501192QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item390024501192&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1298%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

?
How much of a customs charge would be slapped on that ?
Has anyone any info they can share with me on these Bacchus guitars ?

Doctor J · 03-03-2009 08:20AM

Good man Seany, you made the right choice

Seany · 03-03-2009 09:30AM

Thanks lads...definitely coming along to the next GAS meet up.

IamMetaldave · 03-03-2009 11:04AM

Super lookin guitar dude!

Quattroste · 03-03-2009 01:44PM

Nice one Seany. Proof that you go to a meetup at your own peril!

I also noticed that the lovely brown Bacchus SG on Hisashi's site has been purchased. Anyone????

Actually got it here

Customs is around 24% of guitar and delivery cost..yeah?

Dord · 03-03-2009 02:49PM

It's 21.5% VAT + 3.6% Customs fee? I think... so just over 25%. There's a spreadsheet in the sticky thread, but it needs to be updated to reflect the new VAT rate.

Doctor J · 03-03-2009 02:52PM

Whatever the **** it is, it will be worth it for that guitar

Dord · 03-03-2009 02:55PM

Exactly!

Doctor J · 03-03-2009 02:59PM

When I decided on my Duke, it came down to the one I went with vs that very guitar there. I'm unhealthily fond of the one I have but I've always retained a soft spot for that Goldtop. Some days I wonder what life would be like if I went with it instead of my own...

...now I get to find out

Great...you can set it up for me while you are finding out :P

Doctor J · 03-03-2009 03:42PM

My setups are thorough, it might just take a long, long time :pac:

That Goldtop was on my list too! I'm glad one of us has bought it. Now we need to contact Bacchus directly and organise some sort of forumite discount!

Where is good to buy Bacchus stuff???

Thinking about a shredder guitar, maybe an Ibanez but have to say some of the Bacshus stuff I have seen on these threads plus the reports are pretty head turning.

Doctor J · 04-03-2009 08:16AM

The closest thing they do to a shredder type guitar is the Empire model. It's worth noting though, that it really is a souped up strat rather than a RG type. It's a full sized neck and a proper strat shaped body and the best Tele twang coil tap you're ever going to hear on a humbuckered guitar. There are three available on ebay which are the only ones I know of, they only do small runs of any model and the last time they made this model was in 2004.

GazPat · 04-03-2009 09:43AM

Nice peice of kit there Seany!,

I decided to post a link that I was holding onto for the last while.
I personally have had to look at this a couple of times since this so called "recession" has hit, maybe someone will find it useful I personally found it not useful.

Here it is enjoy or not http://www.harmony-central.com/Guitar/Articles/Avoiding_GAS/

Seany · 10-03-2009 09:53AM

This arrived yesterday morning and had the pleasure of jamming with the lads with it last night.

Although on the heavy side (arent we all

) it is very comfortable to play. Second song in, i felt like I have owned one for years.

Still finding my way around it tones however I have to say first impressions are that it sounds absolutley wonderful.

Seriously recommended.

Doctor J · 10-03-2009 10:03AM

Yeah, now you get it

Congratulations man, enjoy it

How does it compare to the Electra in terms of tone?

Ravelleman · 10-03-2009 02:06PM

Awesome Seany. Like I said, I can't wait to try it!

How does the neck compare to Doc's Duke?

Seany · 13-03-2009 12:39PM

Pretty similar to docs from what I remember, neck is a little wide which suits me and action is low.

Very comfortable to play (depsite weight!).

Regards tone - different from the electra. I found it very sensitive.. moving quarter dial and switching between pick ups can change the tone significantly so will need a lot more time with this
