Bacchus WL5-SPM-AC RSM/M 5-String Active Bass Guitar – Japan Tune-up Series | Stunning Spalted Maple Top, Roasted Maple Neck, Active 2-Band EQ & Gig Bag Included

Description:

A Masterpiece of Wood and Sound.

The Bacchus WL5-SPM-AC RSM/M is a stunning 5-string active bass guitar from the prestigious Japan Tune-up series. The biggest feature of this model is the breathtaking Spalted Maple used for the top wood. Spalted maple is prized for its spectacular, one-of-a-kind organic patterns, ensuring that every instrument is a unique work of art. Finished in an open-pore matte finish that maximizes body resonance, the wood's natural beauty is on full display.

Powerful Active Electronics

Equipped with the Bacchus BBP2 preamp, this bass lets you explore a wide variety of sounds. The active 2-band EQ (Treble and Bass) provides precise sound shaping while playing. A dedicated Preamp On/Off Switch allows you to toggle between active (more modern and bright) and passive (more round and vintage) tones instantly for uncompromising sonic versatility. Original JB pickups deliver punchy, articulate tone with rich harmonics and excellent clarity.

Premium Construction & Playability

The body is designed to be slightly slimmer than a typical JB-type electric bass, offering exceptional playability and comfort. The roasted maple neck and fingerboard provide increased rigidity, exceptional stability, durability, and enhanced sustain. The JB bridge with brass saddle ensures rock-solid intonation, while open-gear machineheads provide classic aesthetics with smooth, accurate tuning.
