From raw wood to Stage-Ready
—— all In-House
I always wanted a bass that feels, sounds and looks like a traditional Fender bass but without the weight and the size of a fender bass and Baboomin bass made it happen with such exceptional workmanship. After months of discussion and hours of call its finally here- weighing in only 3kgs its feather light, quilted maple top, Ash wood and rose wood Fretboard. The in-house preamp (comes with an additional Tone control Knob) is better than all the preamps out there, believe me!! (i have Aquilar OPB 3 in all my other basses, a carvin stock preamp and a dingwall with EMG preamp)..
The tunning machine is much much nicer and softer than the HIPSHOT headless system. The neck is super low-tension and yet punchy and finally it comes on a really cute gig bag that fits inside my hardcase.. cant wait to start gigging with this beauty.

Excellent bass. Well designed and thoroughly engineered. Neck has an extremely comfortable radius and feel. Kudos to the luthier on that. You can feel the handmade shaping in a very comfortable way. The wiring and electronics are installed well. Pickups sound good. Although I’m not a huge fan of exposed pickup rods on single coil pickups. That’s just me though. The bridge tuners work with precision and it is easy to change standard strings.
The bass also rests in a top loading guitar stand which is convenient. Overall a very light weight instrument that feels great and packs a punch. A true deal given its low price tag. It feels every bit of a boutique custom bass as my others but a third the price. And you can pick your color and pickup configuration. I highly recommend his bass to anyone looking for a custom instrument that weighs under 8 lbs. with high end finishing and a ton of good vibes.

What makes Baboomin different from other bass brands?
Baboomin was founded by bassists, for bassists. We focus on the combination of headless + lightweight + vintage tone, so you can play a two-hour set with less shoulder strain while still delivering the punch and warmth needed on stage. We understand what professional musicians truly value, which is why every detail—from hardware to pickups—was designed around real stage and studio use.
Where are Baboomin instruments made?
Every instrument is designed by our team and handcrafted in small batches in Jinan, China. Unlike mass production, we focus on careful wood selection, detailed craftsmanship, and consistent quality control to ensure every bass meets touring standards.
How much of Baboomin is self-developed?
We insist on self-developing key components: our bridge, headless tuning system, pickups, and electronics are all independently designed and produced in small batches. This gives us full control over tone, feel, and durability rather than relying on generic parts.
If I already own Fender or Ibanez basses, why would I need Baboomin?
We respect and love these classic brands. Baboomin exists to fill the space they rarely cover: a truly lightweight, ergonomic, vintage-sounding headless instrument. It isn’t here to replace your classics—it’s here to be the “fifth bass” you’ve always wanted in your collection.
Do you ship to the U.S.? How long does it take?
Yes. Shipping to the U.S. usually takes 7–12 business days, with full tracking and insurance. If you have touring schedules, we do our best to accommodate your timeline.
Will I need to pay extra taxes or duties?
U.S. customers usually don’t need to pay additional import duties. For other countries or regions, we provide clear guidance upfront to avoid unexpected costs—so you know exactly what to expect.
What warranty and support do you offer?
Every Baboomin bass comes with a two-year limited warranty covering workmanship and materials. Beyond that, we provide long-term support—you’ll be talking directly with the people who built your instrument. We also design our instruments for easy maintenance, and if you ever need parts or guidance, we can supply them quickly.
What is your return and exchange policy?
For production models, we accept returns and exchanges within a reasonable period if the instrument is unused and in original condition. For custom or limited-edition builds, because they are made specifically for each player, all sales are final and non-returnable. We encourage customers to confirm details with us before placing custom orders, so everything meets your expectations.
Are Baboomin basses reliable for touring?
Absolutely. At about 3.5 kg, they are light, balanced, stable in tuning, and built with durable hardware. They’re designed from day one to handle frequent transport and high-intensity use.
How do they perform in the studio?
Our self-developed pickups and electronics deliver both vintage warmth and modern clarity, with very low noise and wide dynamic range. Subtle finger details and deep low-end are captured cleanly—just plug into your preamp and record with confidence.
How does the tone compare to Fender Precision or Jazz models?
We keep the warm low-mids and familiar feel of classic Fenders, while adding extended highs, more clarity, and better dynamic control. It’s a balance between vintage character and modern adaptability.
I often feel shoulder or wrist fatigue during long rehearsals or gigs. Will a Baboomin help?
Yes. With a lightweight body (around 3.5 kg), balanced design, and ergonomic neck joint, Baboomin basses reduce physical strain. You’ll be able to focus more on your playing and less on the discomfort.
Who is already playing Baboomin?
Touring bassists, recording musicians, and vintage-tone enthusiasts across Europe, the U.S., and Asia. Many treat Baboomin as a true working partner on stage and in the studio—not just a “wall-hanger.”
Can I communicate directly with the Baboomin team?
Yes. Whether by email, social media, or at trade shows, you can talk directly with the team who designed and built your bass. We aim to be not just your supplier, but your long-term technical and creative partner.
What role do players have in shaping Baboomin’s future?
Baboomin is a community-driven brand. You’re not just a user—you’re a co-creator. Many of our features and details come directly from player feedback. Looking ahead, we want every instrument to carry the qualities of an art piece: not only a tool, but also an expression, a collectible work that reflects our shared vision and story. In fact, today’s models are already the result of four years of continuous iteration shaped by bassist feedback.
Do you collaborate with artists or endorse players?
Yes. We collaborate with professional musicians worldwide who genuinely play Baboomin in their concerts and recordings. These partnerships are built on real use and mutual respect, not just advertising.
