WOODLINE "Global Series": Bacchus spirit, accessible and refined
The WL4-STD/RSM belongs to the WOODLINE lineage, a name associated at Bacchus with a wood-focused aesthetic and a "stage instrument" approach: simple, effective, and centered on playing feel. This version is part of the Global series, made in Indonesia, featuring a selection of modern specifications such as roasted maple and wiring that offers multiple tonal nuances without complicating use. The Brown Satin (BR-S) finish highlights the grain and enhances the organic look, while remaining understated and easy to match on stage.
A 4-string bass for versatile bassists, from groove to pick playing
With its JB configuration (two single-coil pickups) and very direct control, this Bacchus is especially aimed at demanding beginners up to intermediate players seeking a reliable and expressive bass, as well as experienced players who want a no-frills "workhorse." It feels at home in funk, pop, rock, indie, fusion, and R&B registers: precise finger attack, snappy slap, and good presence with a pick. The TYPE S body shape and JB-typical nut width favor fast playing, with a left hand that naturally finds its place.
Sound character: JB clarity, quick attack, and Turbo Switch to thicken the signal
The Original JB Set pickups aim for definition and balance: neck pickup for rounded lows and comfortable low mids, bridge pickup for bite, precision, and better mix clarity. The 2Vol, 1Tone wiring allows fine blending between the two pickups, from full and wide sound to a more "nasal" bridge-typical tone.
The presence of a Turbo Switch (via pull-up on the tone control) adds an expressive lever: you keep the ergonomics of a classic passive bass while being able to switch to a more pronounced response to stand out in a chorus, thicken a slap, or simply add more impact to a pick sound. On the luthiery side, the roasted maple neck and fingerboard contribute to a more immediate response feel, with a clear attack and good note definition, particularly useful on a 4-string bass with standard tuning.
The JB bridge with brass saddles contributes to a stable feel under the right hand: notes "start" quickly and maintain solid sustain, which helps both ghost notes and sustained lines. The satin finish (Brown Satin) enhances the natural aspect and can also provide a more pleasant daily feel, especially for those who play a lot.
Recommended compatible accessories
The bass comes with a gig bag and adjustment wrench. To stay true to the original setup, you can plan for a set of 4-string bass strings in 45-105 gauge (suitable for the 34" / 864 mm scale length). A strap and a tuner will also be suitable to complete a setup ready for rehearsals and stage.
