Fame Baphomet 5 NTB

5-string neck-thru version of the Fame Baphomet series

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 neck-thru design, constructed from 5 strips of mahogany and sycamore maple, the Fame Baphomet 5 NTB delivers endless sustain and characteristic Punch. The flat profile of the neck lies comfortably in your hand and forms the ideal foundation for fat grooves. In addition, the arched body shape – unique in this price class – offers a high level of comfort, whereby the bass forms to your body, ensuring for optimal playability.

Test Review from ‘Gitarre&Bass’ (Germany) 08/00: (*translated*)

“… Hard to believe but true: the Baphomet is a true premium bass without compromises, when it comes to the high quality woods, premium features and playability. Not surprising when it has such a renowned role model. How the supplier is able to do it at this price is a mystery, but the musician doesn’t have to worry about that. This bass is a premium deal!”

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.
