Baboomin

Founded in 2023, baboomin is a brand built by and for bassists, born from a passion for innovative design and the art of crafting exceptional instruments. Created by luthier Yang and bassist Kled, we specialize in handcrafted, headless basses designed for the modern musician: portable, versatile, and rich in vintage tones.

Through in-house development and master craftsmanship, we ensure each bass is customizable and delivers the ultimate playing experience, all at an accessible price. As bass players, we believe in returning the bass to its essential role as a tool for musicians. After all, true greatness lies in the player, not the instrument.

Kled & Yang

 

Yang isn’t a luthier with years of experience. In fact, he only began crafting instruments in 2019. Before officially making bass guitars, Yang, like many bassists, held an ordinary job—he worked at a pharmaceutical company. But in 2019, as COVID-19 swept through China, and everyone was forced to stay home, something inside him shifted. Middle-aged and burdened with responsibilities since a young age, Yang realized it was time to live for himself, to pursue what he truly loved. And so, he threw himself wholeheartedly into the art of handcrafted basses, determined to master the craft……

Yang has a deep love for the vintage tones of the 70s and 80s, with a particular fondness for the early-era American-made Fenders. He started his luthier journey by replicating Fender basses, aiming to learn from their classic designs. However, due to his struggle with shoulder pain from playing traditional headstock basses, which were too heavy, Yang decided to focus on creating headless basses with that same beloved vintage tone—designed with the player's comfort in mind.

 

Kled is an accounting major in college, and like that classic bass meme, everything started because he was the worst guitarist in his high school band. His rock journey began in high school with bands like Oasis, Megadeth, and Green Day, eventually leading him to form his own original band in college. During his junior year, Kled took a gap year to intern at a cross-border e-commerce company, where, by a stroke of luck, he met Yang. This meeting sparked a shift in his thinking—he began to wonder how he could merge his professional skills with his love for music. Slowly, he broke free from the constraints of traditional Chinese education, letting go of the rigid evaluation systems, and started forging his own path.
