How We Built a Lightweight Bass for the Whole Gig | Q-River Air

The Q-River Air began with one question: How could we keep the freedom of a headless bass while giving players the familiar sound and playing feel they already trust? In this video, Kled takes you inside the Baboomin workshop in Jinan, China, to share how the Q-River Air was developed. He talks about Yang’s story, what we learned from building custom basses for more than 100 players worldwide, and the thinking behind the chambered body, full 34-inch scale, Q-River bridge, custom pickups and electronics, hand finishing, and final setup. Every current-production Q-River Air weighs under 3.6 kg. Five-string models average around 3.3 kg, while four-string models average around 3.1 kg. It was made for players who need a light, reliable bass with enough tonal range for rehearsals, sessions Learn more: baboomin.com Thank you to everyone who has trusted us with one of our basses. We’ll keep listening and improving what we build. Lose the weight, not the tone. #baboomin #custombass #bassguitar #bassplayer #bassists #bass
