Hmm, the new Sakuras do look pretty nice. And they only made 20.

They are pretty amazing looking instruments, especially at the price. Only 20 made and still available at about $2k. And this is just gorgeous:
Ebony board, nickel/silver frets. Best inlays I have ever seen.

Yep, they’re upping their game all the time it seems. Looks like the luthiers are having a ton of fun!!

Nice nice… but next one I’ll buy is a 5 string.
I love the Betas…

Yeah, Deviser is definitely a top tier company. Hard to believe Bacchus is one of their less expensive lines, and it is still making something like this.

Oh! Should have said so. They have that one too:
You can get the Bacchus Woodline Sakura above in a 5-string too but they only made 10 of those.

Quantitative tightening from the government trying to get the exchange rate under control. It’s falling fast back to more normal levels. Still very weak though.

I’m wondering if I should get a Bang Dream viper bass while they still exist and the yen is low. Made by ESP

Those are adorable. They make both the extra-short scale and the full scale; the small ones are tiny.

It’s a Universe, so not MIJ, and used - seems about right, a little inexpensive sure. Will still be a nice bass.

Yup, know it’s not MIJ but roasted maple neck, not single coils, good looking deal
