WOODLINE Global: Bacchus DNA, accessible and refined version
The WL4-STD/RSM is part of the Global series, designed to offer the "Woodline" aesthetics and ergonomics in an Indonesia production focused on consistency. This version highlights a highly sought-after feature: roasted maple for the neck and fingerboard, a choice aimed at providing a fast playing feel, good long-term stability, and a more aggressive tonal character. The New Strawberry Red (SBR) finish emphasizes a modern look while maintaining a true "stage instrument" vibe.
For which bassist and styles?
With its "JB"-style configuration and immediate settings, this 4-string bass is suitable for both demanding beginners and intermediate players looking for a versatile main bass, as well as stage musicians wanting a simple, effective, and easy-to-adjust instrument. It naturally adapts to funk (clear attacks), rock (present mids), pop (clean and defined sound), and groove / R&B genres thanks to the tone control and Turbo Switch to thicken the sound when filling the mix.
Sound Character: "JB" precision plus a power reserve via the Turbo Switch
The Original JB pickup set delivers the expected clarity: a bridge pickup that favors articulation and bite, and a neck pickup that reinforces the low-mid foundation for rounder lines. The 2 volumes allow fine blending between the two pickups, while the tone control shifts from a bright and snappy sound to a warmer timbre, ideal for fingerstyle playing or more vintage contexts.
The Turbo Switch (pull-up on the tone) modifies the circuit to offer a denser and more powerful response, useful for standing out live, thickening a pick line, or adding more body to a less "glassy" slap. On the lutherie side, the roasted maple neck and fingerboard contribute to a clear attack and good note definition. The body is listed as nyatoh on the spec sheet, with aesthetics and visual presence enhanced by the SBR finish; the whole aims for a balance between sustain, comfort, and note-to-note clarity.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original string gauge and the same feel, a 4-string bass string set 45-105 is a safe choice (this is the factory-installed gauge). For connection to an amp or interface, a 6.35 mm instrument jack cable is naturally essential and fully compatible with this type of bass.
