It has that rare combination of warmth, punch, and lived-in character that makes you play differently the moment it’s in your hands. There’s a reason two of these have stayed in the Professor’s own collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1a3ueyz\" data-start=\"1929\" data-end=\"1946\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1948\" data-end=\"2426\"\u003eWeight: 9 lbs\u003cbr data-start=\"1961\" data-end=\"1964\"\u003eNut width (measured): 1.49 in\u003cbr data-start=\"1993\" data-end=\"1996\"\u003e12th fret width: 2.20 in\u003cbr data-start=\"2020\" data-end=\"2023\"\u003e1st fret depth: 0.78 in\u003cbr data-start=\"2046\" data-end=\"2049\"\u003e12th fret depth: 0.88 in\u003cbr data-start=\"2073\" data-end=\"2076\"\u003eNeck Profile: C\u003cbr data-start=\"2091\" data-end=\"2094\"\u003eFretboard Radius: 7.25 in\u003cbr data-start=\"2119\" data-end=\"2122\"\u003eFrets: 20, vintage\u003cbr data-start=\"2140\" data-end=\"2143\"\u003eAccessories: Gig bag\u003cbr data-start=\"2163\" data-end=\"2166\"\u003eBody: 2-piece Alder\u003cbr data-start=\"2185\" data-end=\"2188\"\u003eColor: Green Metallic\u003cbr data-start=\"2209\" data-end=\"2212\"\u003ePickguard: Mint\u003cbr data-start=\"2227\" data-end=\"2230\"\u003eNeck: Maple\u003cbr data-start=\"2241\" data-end=\"2244\"\u003eFretboard: Rosewood\u003cbr data-start=\"2263\" data-end=\"2266\"\u003eNut: Bone\u003cbr data-start=\"2275\" data-end=\"2278\"\u003eHardware: Chrome\u003cbr data-start=\"2294\" data-end=\"2297\"\u003eControls: Neck Volume, Bridge Volume, Tone\u003cbr data-start=\"2339\" data-end=\"2342\"\u003ePickup: Bacchus Original JB-ALV Alnico 5 Jazz Bass\u003cbr data-start=\"2392\" data-end=\"2395\"\u003eCountry of Manufacture: Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"hrykuu\" data-start=\"2428\" data-end=\"2440\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2442\" data-end=\"2806\"\u003eThis bass is in \u003cstrong\u003eExcellent \u003c\/strong\u003econdition with normal signs of use and natural aging consistent with a lacquer-finished instrument that do not affect playability or functionality. There are shallow dents, scratches, and wear primarily on the back of the body and perimeter of the lower bout (pictured). There is also some lacquer burn on the back of the body (pictured).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2808\" data-end=\"3171\"\u003eThe electronics remain original and function properly. The frets and nut are in very good condition with minimal wear and no buzzing. The neck is straight, and the truss rod adjusts smoothly in both directions. We replaced the original pickup foam to ensure proper pickup height and adjustability. The original factory pickguard protective film is still in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3173\" data-end=\"3609\"\u003eA thorough inspection has been performed to verify condition and ensure full functionality. The BJB-64V has been professionally set up with new 45–100 roundwound strings, optimal neck relief, medium action, accurate intonation, and dialed-in pickup height to ensure excellent playability upon arrival. A Fender FB620 gig bag will be included. Hard case and upgraded gig bag options are available; please message us for details and cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"rzkdgm\" data-start=\"3611\" data-end=\"3622\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverview\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3624\" data-end=\"3947\"\u003eThe BJB-64V is Bacchus’ take on the early-1960s Jazz Bass formula, built during a period when the company was producing some of its most respected high-end instruments in Japan. Examples from the Vintage Series are already uncommon, and finding one in this condition — particularly in Green Metallic — is increasingly rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3949\" data-end=\"4339\"\u003eThis bass pairs a premium 2-piece alder body with a slim C-profile maple neck, slab rosewood fretboard, bone nut, lacquer topcoat, and vintage-style hardware. The result is a bass that feels lively, resonant, and immediately familiar in the best way. Vintage Series Bacchus instruments remain special for a reason, and this one makes a strong case for why players continue to seek them out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1nu70jm\" data-start=\"4341\" data-end=\"4362\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics \u0026amp; Tone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4364\" data-end=\"4828\"\u003eWith its alder body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard, and Bacchus Alnico 5 pickups, the BJB-64V delivers the warm, punchy, articulate voice you want from a great early-’60s-style Jazz Bass. The neck pickup is full and round with real weight, while the bridge pickup adds focus, growl, and detail without excessive bite. Played acoustically or plugged in, this bass has the kind of responsiveness and tonal refinement that set these Vintage Series instruments apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"4432\" data-start=\"4254\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"4276\" data-start=\"4254\"\u003eSetup \u0026amp; Inspection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"4432\" data-start=\"4254\"\u003eThis bass will receive a professional setup and inspection prior to shipping and can be adjusted to your preferred action upon request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"4559\" data-start=\"4434\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"4446\" data-start=\"4434\"\u003eShipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"4559\" data-start=\"4434\"\u003eFast shipping from Phoenix, AZ\u003cbr data-end=\"4489\" data-start=\"4486\"\u003eProfessionally packed\u003cbr data-end=\"4513\" data-start=\"4510\"\u003eFully insured\u003cbr data-end=\"4529\" data-start=\"4526\"\u003eSignature required on delivery\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bacchus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51638384066880,"sku":null,"price":1199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/6486\/0736\/files\/MG_2032-2.jpg?v=1774049438","url":"https:\/\/professornigels.com\/products\/bacchus-vintage-series-bjb-64v-mij-green-metallic-made-in-japan","provider":"Professor Nigel's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
