Bacchus WL4-ASH RSM - White Blonde (WBD)

The Woodline spirit, between tradition and Japanese modernity

The Bacchus WL4-ASH RSM follows in the great tradition of the WOODLINE series, a line that has become cult at Bacchus for its perfect balance of classic lutherie, thoughtful innovation and immediate musicality.
Here, everything is designed for the discerning bassist looking for an inspiring, reliable and lively instrument, capable of enduring the years without losing its soul.

Founded in 1977 in Nagano, Japan, DEVISER perpetuates an artisanal approach to instrument making. Each model benefits from know-how handed down over decades, with a constant obsession for accuracy, playability and sound. This WL4 is a perfect illustration.

An ash body that breathes

The ash body is a classic for good reason:
it offers a wide frequency response, firm bass, well-defined midrange and clear highs without aggression. It's a wood that projects sound naturally, with great dynamics and precision.

The subtly translucent White Blonde (WBD) finish reveals the wood grain and enhances the natural character of the instrument. Each piece is unique, with its own design, reinforcing the bond between musician and bass.

Roasted Maple neck and fingerboard: stability and vintage character

The Roasted Maple neck and fingerboard provide an immediate high-end feel.
This torrefaction process removes moisture and residual oils from the wood, enhancing :

• stability over time

• resistance to climatic variations

• overall instrument resonance

In terms of sound, the Roasted Maple delivers a clean attack, a warm grain and that little extra soul often associated with well-honed vintage instruments.

The block fingerboard markings, combined with the celluloid binding, add an elegant, resolutely premium touch.

Simple, effective... and formidable electronics

The WL4-ASH RSM is equipped with a set of original Bacchus JB pickups, renowned for their versatility and balance.
The sound is precise and articulate, perfectly at home in funk, rock, blues, pop or modern jazz.

The Turbo Switch, activated via push/pull tone control, is a real asset:
connects the two pickups in series to obtain a thicker, almost humbucking sound, ideal for getting out of the mix or thickening a line without changing instruments.

A bass capable of covering a lot of ground, without ever losing its personality.

Reliable fittings and meticulous detailing

- JB bridge with brass bridges: enhanced sustain and better vibration transmission

- Graphtech® TUSQ XL nut: tuning stability and precision

- Open-gear mechanisms: robust, precise and durable

Every detail contributes to a feeling of solidity and confidence from the very first notes.

A ready-to-play bass built to last

Like all Bacchus basses, the WL4-ASH RSM benefits from rigorous quality control and careful tuning.
It comes with a gig bag, Allen key and certificate of authenticity.

It's an instrument you choose to play today, and keep for a long time.
