So in your opinion, which would you go for? They are all about the same price except for the the 62 re-issue, which is a fair bit cheaper.

 

Sorry no BOALG option because this is important... :o

 

I am personally leaning heavily toward the Bacchus 5, and even more so to the DJ4.

I was so excited to think about owning that absolutely gorgeous piece of instrument sexiness, but then I looked up the price and remembered what a broke ass I am.

 

I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.

I think the Bacchus is by far the sharpest looking. I've never played one though. Nor have I played a DJ with the new Lakland pickups. I thought that bass killed with the Aeros. So much so that I got a custom set of Aeros for one of my Hamers. I don't like the Modulus. I'd get the Fender if you were concerned about cost. I'm going to vote Bacchus so you can review it for the rest of us. :thu:

haha it's the sex isn't it! :D

 

i'm really wary to inverst because i've been listening to some of Joe Creightons stuff who endorses them and i'm not really very impressed :(

 

you see i've heard dj4, modulus clips and played a 62RI...

 

i'm having a hard time finding someone who has played the Bacchus :o

crap I forgot about the pup point mentioned in my previous thread, on the subject of the DJ4 :o

 

do you know when the aeros were phased out?

I don't. I wasn't paying enough attention to know. If you get the serial number you could e-mail Lakland and I'm sure they will tell you. I also have nothing bad to say about the new pickups, I just haven't heard them.

More people over at TalkBass have experience with the Bacchus stuff, in my experience-if you want to get more info, that might be a better place to ask.

 

Did I just say that?

 

That said, I'd go for the Bacchus first, Lakland second.

I'm having real trouble finding out how they sound, but i've just sent a pm to a dude that owns a handmade bacchus on TB... hope he can help me out with a sound clip.

I'd pick the Lakland. The Fender is okay, but just okay. I haven't played the other 2. I've yet to play a Modulus that I adored tho.

 

The DJ Lakland is my favorite Lakland. I dig Lakland basses in general and, hell, they're practically local to me. :)

Because I don't like Sadowsky
;)

That one i've found pictured is circa $1200 shipped

 

Sounds like a good deal. I particularly like the 2-part bridge... nice touch.
