Bacchus Universe BJB-1-RSM/R-BPPG OWH

An Accessible Jazz Bass Designed for the Bacchus "Universe" Spirit

The BJB-1-RSM/R-BPPG is part of the Universe series, a range designed to offer Bacchus DNA in an affordable format without sacrificing essentials: familiar ergonomics, effective electronics, and an immediately recognizable style. This version stands out with its particularly refined aesthetics (Olympic White + Black Pearl pickguard) and wood choice focused on comfort, featuring a torrefied maple neck, appreciated for its stability and pleasant daily feel.

For Which Bassists and Styles?

With its JB-type format and intuitive controls, this bass is aimed at both serious beginners and intermediate players looking for a reliable 4-string to rehearse, record, or perform live. The JB-type pickup duo is ideal for styles where the bass needs to remain clear in the mix: funk (attack and definition), rock (presence), pop (versatility), blues, and soul (warmth and roundness). The two volume controls allow fine blending of the neck and bridge pickups: very practical for switching from a full, deep sound to a sharper tone without changing instruments.

Sound Character: JB Precision, Warmth of the Rosewood Fingerboard

The Original JB Type configuration features two pickups with the typical "Jazz Bass" character: the neck pickup provides body, bass, and a soft foundation, while the bridge pickup emphasizes attack, mids, and definition, ideal for standing out in a band. Combining both via the 2 volumes yields a very versatile balance with good note-by-note clarity. The 1 tone control allows shifting from an open (bright, articulate) sound to a more mellow register, perfect for round, vintage lines.

The hardwood body provides a balanced and robust base, while the torrefied maple neck promotes quick and stable response, appreciated when you want a reactive and consistent bass. The rosewood fingerboard slightly rounds the attack and adds warmth in the upper spectrum. The whole setup works very well with roundwound strings (factory set .045/.065/.080/.100) to maintain brightness, sustain, and a modern grain, while still allowing tone softening with the tone control.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, you can use a set of 4-string long scale bass strings (scale length 34.02" / 864 mm) in .045/.065/.080/.100, identical to the factory gauge. This is the safest option to immediately regain the same playing comfort, string tension, and consistent sound.
