Fame Baphomet 5 NTB Fretless 5-Stri ng E-Bass Guitar, Natural Oil

Fretless neck-thru version of the popular Fame Baphomet 5

Similarly to its brothers, the Baphomet 5 NTB presents itself as nothing less than a premium grade bass with an exception price to performance ratio.

Equipped with a fretless fretboard made from precious Ebony wood, the Baphomet 5 Fretless delivers the untamed sound, giving every note its vocal character. The Mahogany/Sycamore maple thru-neck ensures for endless sustain and an extra portion of Punch for each string. So that you don’t loose your orientation on the fretless fingerboard, the flat D-profile neck features side-dot inlays to label the 24 positions, it also delivers comfortable playability for any style or technique.

The arched body ensures for better playability and comfort, while the neck-thru construction delivers endless sustain and an extra portion of Punch.

Pickups and Hardware

Active Jazz single-coil pickups from the German manufacturer MEC capture the fantastic sound and the endless sustain of the Baphomet 5 with harmonic transparency, whereby each string is balanced. The 2-band sound control, also from MEC, gives this thoroughbred exceptional versatility. Regardless if saturated low-end boost, aggressive and growling mids or brilliants solo sounds, these electronics deliver a truly musical experience even in extreme settings.

The solid WSC Partsland SI5 bridge contributes to the great sound and epic sustain of the Baphomet, while the ball ends can be dropped in, considerably simplifying string changes. Robust WSC Partsland JB15 tuners guarantees tuning stability and do not cause top-heaviness due to their low weight.

The Fame Baphomet 5 also comes equipped with a pair of Schaller Security Locks, to make sure that your precious instrument stays securely suspended from your shoulders.
