Test Review from ‘Gitarre & Bass’ (Germany) 02/2010:
(*translated*)
For over a decade FAME has offered the Baphomet models with an astonishing price/performance ratio. With the current Bass, Fame has shifted to another gear, and we are presented with the most beautiful, perfect and thoughtfully designed instrument of the Baphomet series to date.
This Bass offers through the combination of hard wood sound, EMG humbuckers and the concretely packed active EQ a colorful, seemingly never-ending sound pallet, providing a suitable solution for every musical application and style. Power, growl, shout, brilliance and precision – the Baphomet delivers every thing that a bassist expects from a modern instrument.
An international bass, made with American woods, equipped with American pickups, Korean hardware, Polish electrics, as well as German security locks and frets, with its exceptional tuning satisfies international requirements. But ultimately the limited is something special, which fortunately is not reflected in the price. A premium bass at a folks-bass price!”

The instruments of the Baphoment Series can easily compete in the professional leagues and impress with luxurious features and the use of high quality materials. Ultimately, these premium bolides aren’t mass produced on an assembly line in the Far East but are completely, individually made by hand from experienced Bass-makers in the premium guitar and bass foundry of M-Guitars in Danzig, in fact, they don’t see a single machine. Each instrument goes through precise and extensive quality controls and testing, to ensure that every instrument that leaves the shop is of the highest standard possible. The current version of the Baphomet Blonde has been equipped with lighter WSC-Mechanics and a new bridge, which was praised by the industry press as having a construction style that is “absolutely genius”. The carefully designed Baphomet is verified by its tight, strong sound. Finally, with their comfortable form and at such a low price, if you don’t fall in love at first sight … you have no heart.

Les micros EMG sont puissants.
Les potards treble/basse donnent de bonnes teintes au son.
Il y a un potard de volume par micro.
Agréable à jouer et le manche se laisse facilement régler avec la barre de tension.
Elle est lourde mais cela renforce le sentiment de qualité !
