Nidhogg Bass, 10th Anniversary Edition














A down payment today, the rest monthly
No credit check, no interest, no fees. All paid before the guitar ships.
The Nidhogg™ VEGA edition is a modern double-cut bass built for rock, alternative and players who want a clear, punchy sound that holds its place in the mix.
Powered by our Goldsound® PowerJab™ VEGA J-style single-coil pickups, it delivers fast attack, strong mids and plenty of definition. Clean tones stay open and articulate, while driven sounds have the bite and punch to push a band forward.
A thin and lightweight mahogany body makes the Nidhogg resonant and loud, with a warm, resonant foundation, paired with a roasted maple neck and rosewood fretboard for a smooth, familiar playing feel. The contoured body keeps the bass comfortable and balanced, whether you're playing at home, recording or taking it through a full live set.
As part of the VEGA Series, the Nidhogg keeps the essential Baum DNA: original Danish design, custom Goldsound® pickups and carefully chosen Baum Performer™ hardware — in a more accessible instrument built for more players.
Each Nidhogg VEGA is designed in Denmark and inspected, set up and play-tested by our team in Aarhus before shipping.

Every Baum goes through several quality control points. The final step happens in our Danish Custom Shop where each instrument is personally inspected and tested by our guitar tech team of professional musicians. We’re very picky and go over every detail and part.
Our process:
Delivery inspection: Each guitar is unpacked, examined, and approved for build quality and finish.
Hardware & electronics: Each instrument gets the Baum Premium Set-up. Read more about that.
Performance test: Finally, our set-up team play and fine-tune the guitar to ensure it meets Baum’s tone and feel standards.
Nothing leaves our hands until it matches our quality for how it plays, sounds, and looks.
Every Baum is refined by hand in Denmark by our guitar tech setup team of professional musicians. Our guitar techs inspect, adjust, and play test each guitar to bring out the best of each as they know what it takes to be a performer.
Frets & fret ends – crowned and smoothed by hand.
Nut setup – inspected and cut for the optimal height and zero friction.
Truss rod & action – fine-tuned for the best playability.
Pickup height & intonation – dialed in for balanced tones and precise intonation across the neck.
Hardware – tested and tightened for lasting reliability.
Strings – we trust D’addario 10-46. Strings are replaced if needed for a fresh, consistent feel.
Final inspection & polish – every curve checked, every detail cleaned.
Play test – every Baum is played by our luthiers before shipping.
Stage-ready the moment you plug it in.
We offer easy returns within 45 days from delivery for orders placed online through our web shop.
We know that the best place to test your new instrument is with your gear, music and time. So enjoy 45 days to try it at home and decide if it’s a keeper.
