I literally fell off my chair laughing at Ah Seow's intense look.
Thanks for the comic relief!

OMG 210,000 yen, thats like 3000 sing dollar. is it worth it?
the finish isn't sandblasted i think. it feels a lot like my wick corvette where you still can feel the grains but not overly apparent by sandblasting ala the taranis.
also, my bass is completely stock. =D
the finish is really very delicate, as even a fingernail can cause a minute scratch. but that doesn't matter when you plug it in. at first it sounds overly bright. but together in a band it fills the fundamental well and its overt brightness becomes added presence and clarity. The 34" scale B string is one of the best i've ever heard and even all the notes on the same string sound playable and not muddy and unusable. The tone is very even and balanced all over the neck. I'm really happy with this beast.
I haven't personally compared this to a sadowsky but i daresay this is probably the best modern sounding Jazz Bass you can buy at its price. Now if only they offered 70's bridge pup positioning.

i also bought a bacchus, but it's not a jazz, the model is the Bacchus Twenty-Four which has 24 frets and 2 humbucking pickups. black oil finish with ebony fingerboard. the nice thing is that the pickup covers are not plastic, but wood, with wood grain too.
http://bacchusdo.com/product/24bk.htm
it's bacchus own design i think, with a 2-piece warwick-like bridge.
unlike that Bacchus jazz which zero_g says it's very bright tone, the Twenty-Four i find has a very smooth tone. it's got a low-mid growl but still smooth as in not harsh. the pickups are bacchus own make and for this model to get that "smooth-type" sound, that's what they claim, and it does sound smooth.
at first i was afraid of damage to the oil finish too like scratches and all that, but i find it's still quite hardy, not as invincible as all those poly finishes, but still quite hardy. It's also nice that after sometime i find that wood grain starts to show more and it looks beautiful. It's also not high maintainence as no waxing of the body is needed, unlike warwick's natural finish basses.
I got it for about $2800 SGD including all GST and shipping charges. It's pretty cheap I would say, but I didn't order from Bacchusdo website which i think is quite expensive.... I e-mailed a few local Tokyo music stores who have websites and one of them was able to offer me a pretty good price and willing to ship overseas. knowing a little reading and writing of Japanese language helped a lot.

i never understood the 2-piece bridge too.
one thing about the bacchus 2-piece bridge is that there is individual locking on 2 axis on every single saddle.
you can lock the up-down movement and the front-back movement. once locked, it never moves, so your saddle adjustments are locked in forever. that's good coz it ensures the position stays in place all the time for a very very long time. But it makes adjustments quite troubleseome though. But then you just take the trouble to adjust it once and if you don't change gague in your strings you won't need to touch saddle adjustments forever.
another thing about the 2-piece bridge is each saddle sits tightly on individual tracks so there is no sideways movement of the saddles at all. It'll just stay still and not have any extra sidewats movement affect the vibrating of the string.
but then yeah, I guess these features all can be put into a 1-piece bridge as well, so I'm quite stumped about what's the special thing abotu 2-piece bridges lol
