Looking for this bass

I can’t stop thinking about this bass but it’s a discontinued model from Japan and really hard to find online. If anyone has info on it I would be eternally grateful for the help. (btw it’s a Bacchus WL4-FM-CUSTOM-Ⅲ-RL-BLU-OIL)

Great basses, but, yes, hard to find, especially outside of Japan…

I was lucky a while ago and got my hands on this Bacchus:

I guess you need patience and a bit of luck to find this particular model on the used market!!

not to state the obvious but you do have it on a watch list on reverb, correct?

Another suggestion would be to list the bass as “Wanted to Buy” on other popular bass forums. You never know when someone may know where to find one.

I looked in the usual places here and didn’t see any used. Bacchus still lists it on their site but it is indeed discontinued.

Yeah, I saw one listed but I missed it last year.

Recommend any forums? I’m not exactly deep in the bass community.

Thanks!

Have you tried to inquire with these guys?

They even have a “bass hunter” service :grin:

Yeah he’s pretty cheap for what he does, too. I would charge a lot more :rofl:

Yeah, but you love taking folks through the “bass neighborhoods” of Tokyo :joy:

I keep meaning to call him just to connect but haven’t had a bass need in a long time that I couldn’t track down here myself. I did consider him when I was having trouble finding a good SBV-J2 myself, but I solved that problem.

TalkBass would be my best suggestion. They seem to be the most active.
