Nidhogg Bass

The Nidhogg electric bass is designed by Morten Bau for Baum Guitars.

“I wanted to create a bass that captures the rebellious spirit of rock n’ roll and gives the player a feeling of wielding this pure horsepower in their hands on stage. My approach combines our Nordic heritage of valuing product longevity with high-end materials, build quality and timeless design to create an instrument that withstands years of use and changing trends with my fascination of the 60’s and 70’s bold design characteristics in vintage cars.

The whole design process is seen from a holistic perspective where design elements must underline its playability and sound as well. Examples are the long upper horn which gives the bass a better balance when played standing up - and the light-weight tuning machine heads accentuates this.” – Morten Bau

The Baum Nidhogg electric bass is a progressive design deeply rooted in Baum’s Nordic philosophy focusing on functionality with high-grade materials in a timeless design for longevity combined with an inspiration in the 60s American Car design often bold styles. It seamlessly taxes the minimalistic lines to the max by using them to emphasize a confident and muscular design.

The Nidhogg uses high-quality materials, including hard maple, mahogany, and rosewood for the body and neck, hardware made of solid brass and nickel, custom voiced Goldsound® Powerjabs™ pickups, all of which combined give the Nidhogg a unique and unruly sound versatile for many music genres that requires an attitude.

Precisely engineered hardware adds to the functionality, balance and overall style as well.

The body contour leans forward and sits comfortably on the player making it easy to play standing and seated. Its body style makes it lightweight and resonant, and the C-profiled neck shape makes it a comfortable experience for the player.
