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).. 

            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. 

Excellent touring bass. I’d been hunting for a truly lightweight instrument because keeping a 4kg bass on my shoulder for long sets is tough, but I didn’t want to sacrifice tone. I love vintage-style sounds (finger and slap), especially classic J-bass character, and most headless basses I tried — including an EHB1000 I bought for its 3.3kg weight — sounded too dry and direct, like the typical “headless tone” that pedals couldn’t really turn into a real J-bass. My Baboomin Q-River around 3.2kg finally nails it: compact headless design, stable tuning, a comfortable J-style modern C neck, and a warm, punchy, vintage voice that actually sits in the mix like a good old J. If you want a sub-8lb headless that plays easily and still sounds properly vintage, this one is an easy recommendation.
