Bacchus WL5-STD/RSM: Roasted Maple Excellence for a Versatile 5-String Bass

Step into the world of Japanese craftsmanship with the Bacchus WL5-STD/RSM, a 5-string bass that blends the legacy of Deviser’s famous WOODLINE series with modern innovations. Designed for demanding bassists, this "Global Series" version benefits from the full expertise of the Matsumoto master luthiers, offering a playing experience worthy of the ASKA workshop instruments.

The Secret of the Sound: Roasted Maple The centerpiece of this bass is undoubtedly its Roasted Maple neck. This wood has undergone high-temperature heat treatment to stabilize the fibers and evaporate moisture and natural oils. The result? A neck with exemplary stability against humidity changes and, above all, an immediate "vintage" tone. You enjoy a rich, organic resonance, as if the instrument had already aged and matured for decades.

Ergonomics Designed for the Musician The Nyatoh body (a wood prized for its tonal balance and mahogany-like warmth) features the "downsized" design of the WOODLINE series. Slightly more compact than a traditional Jazz Bass, it offers incomparable comfort, whether playing standing on stage or sitting in the studio. The 400R fingerboard radius and Graphtech® TUSQ XL nut ensure fluid movement and optimal vibration transmission.

The Power of the Turbo Switch Don't be fooled by its passive electronics. By pulling up the tone knob (Push/Pull), you activate the Turbo Switch. This system connects both single-coil pickups in series, turning your bass into a powerhouse similar to a humbucker. Perfect for cutting through the mix during a solo or delivering massive, fat bass lines.
