Today’s Bass of the Day is the Baum Guitars Nidhogg, a model that showcases a simple yet sophisticated design ethos rooted in Danish minimalism.
The Nidhogg is built with a mahogany body and available in three finishes: Vintage White, Ocean Mist, and Pure Black. Its playability is enhanced by a satin-finish roasted maple neck shaped in Baum’s Modern C profile, which is complemented by a rosewood fretboard with a 12″ radius, ensuring a comfortable playing experience across all 20 medium jumbo nickel frets.
This model is equipped with a set of powerful Goldsound Powerjabs pickups. These J-style single-coil pickups use Alnico V magnets and are known for their solid output, delivering a loud and progressive low-end. The neck pickup registers an output of 8.5 K, while the bridge pickup pushes out 9.5 K, offering a full and raunchy voice that can handle a wide sonic palette.
Tuning is smooth and precise thanks to the new Baum Precision Tuners for bass. These high-ratio 20:1 gear tuners are not only accurate but lightweight, improving the overall balance of the instrument. A top-loaded bridge enhances string stability and resonance, ensuring that each note sustains naturally and distinctly.
Control over the instrument’s sound is managed through four knobs: a master volume, individual tone controls for each pickup, and a blend knob, allowing players to dial in the perfect tone for any setting.
The Nidhogg bass comes complete with a Baum Original Series Gigbag and is strung with D’Addario strings, sized 45-105, to maintain quality sound and durability right out of the box.
