Bacchus WL605AC-RSM/R

A bass that exudes wood, groove and quality

Some brands have that rare ability to inspire confidence even before the first note is played. Bacchus is clearly one of them.

The WL605AC-RSM/R is a 5-string bass designed for musicians who love simple, effective and deeply musical instruments. A bass that doesn't try to do too much, but does everything well. And above all, one that makes you want to play for hours on end.

A real player's bass, not a showpiece

As soon as you pick it up, you can tell that the WL605AC-RSM/R was designed by people who play.

The alder body, a legendary wood for vintage basses, offers that balanced, natural tone that is instantly recognisable. The bass is full, the mids sing, and the whole thing remains clear, even in a busy mix.

This is a bass that respects your sound, your touch, your playing style. It doesn't impose itself.

Rosewood & roasted maple: the duo that makes all the difference

The rosewood fingerboard provides that feeling of depth and smoothness that we love so much on traditional instruments. The sound is dense, never dry, with a real foundation in the lower end of the spectrum.

The roasted maple neck is a real game changer. More stable over time and less sensitive to climatic variations, it provides an extremely pleasant feel. The attack is clean and precise, with that slight "well-played instrument" feel that you normally find on much more expensive basses.

It's the kind of neck that you won't want to let go of once you've tried it.

WOODLINE format: comfort above all else

Bacchus has adopted the WOODLINE format, emblematic of the brand.

The body is slightly refined, well balanced, and falls naturally into place, whether you play sitting or standing. On a 5-string, this is far from a minor detail.

The result: less fatigue, more freedom, more enjoyment.

Active or passive? It's up to you.

The WL605AC-RSM/R features a discreet but highly effective Bacchus BBP2 preamp.

Two EQ bands allow you to fine-tune your sound when needed, and an active/passive switch lets you instantly switch back to a more raw, organic sound.

Coupled with a set of in-house JB pickups, this electronics package offers true versatility: from a smooth vintage groove to more modern, defined sounds, without ever losing the character of the instrument.

The details that really matter

At Bacchus, nothing is left to chance:

- JB bridge with brass saddles for generous sustain and solid bass tones

- Engraved brass neck plate, heavier, which enriches the low-mid range

- Reliable and precise open-gear machine heads

- Modern and elegant metallic finishes, far from flashy effects

Everything is there to serve the sound and longevity of the instrument.
