Description

The HL5 Fami Headless Bass Made in Japan by The Bacchus

The Bacchus Fami HL5 Headless Bass is a premium instrument designed for versatility and playability, tailored to the needs of modern bassists like Fami, the renowned bassist from Lovebites. Featuring a light ash body and a stunning purple heart on maple neck, it offers both aesthetic elegance and ergonomic comfort. Its low action and impeccable fretwork make it ideal for slap, tap, and double-thumb techniques, delivering a crisp, balanced tone that shines in any musical setting. Equipped with top-tier Deviser DC5 humbuckers and an Aguilar OBP-2 preamp, the sound is clear, punchy, and highly responsive. With thoughtful touches like a Hipshot headless bridge and tasteful color scheme, this bass combines style, functionality, and superb playability. Perfect for collectors and serious players alike, it’s a standout instrument that justifies its premium price.

She often plays her signature Bacchus Woodline5AC-HL Fami。 bass. Purple, 5-strings, headless, I believe it's a 2022 or 2023 make. She played the same non-signature model before that for some years.
