The Fame Baphomet 5 III Gold at a glance
The Fame Baphomet 5 III Gold expands the popular Baphomet series with an exclusive limited edition finished in an elegant gold look. At the heart of this five string electric bass built in Gdansk is a Delano JC5 HE M2 pickup set which, in combination with the active Delano Sonar 2 preamp, delivers first class sound quality. Its two band EQ allows precise tone shaping with targeted control over bass and treble frequencies. Visually, the bass stands out with a black limba body in a matte gold finish and a five piece neck made from mahogany and maple, whose distinctive grain makes every instrument unique. Combined with exceptionally durable hardware, the Baphomet 5 III Gold is a dependable companion for studio work, rehearsals, and touring. Practical features such as Schaller S Lock strap pins and the included gig bag complete the overall package.
Selected tonewoods & comfortable playing feel
For the Baphomet 5 III Gold, Fame once again relies on premium tonewoods that shape sound, appearance, and playability in equal measure. The black limba body, also known as korina, is a classic tonewood known for its warm, mid focused character. The multi piece mahogany neck with maple veneers and a six bolt neck joint ensures excellent stability and a direct response. Thanks to the ergonomic D neck profile and the 24 fret pau ferro fingerboard, the bass feels comfortable and natural in the hand. The satin finished neck surface supports a smooth, effortless playing feel, making the Baphomet 5 III Gold ideal for fast runs, complex grooves, and expressive bass lines.
Delano pickups & Sonar-2 electronics
The sound of the Baphomet 5 III Gold is defined by two Delano JC5 HE M2 single coil pickups. Designed as hum free split coils, they combine the clarity and openness of classic single coils with reduced background noise. The result is a clear, well defined tone with precise attack, punchy mids, tight low end, and brilliant highs. Paired with the two band EQ of the Delano Sonar 2 preamp, this setup delivers exceptional flexibility, effortlessly covering everything from vintage inspired warmth to modern, assertive tones.
Reliable Hardware for everyday use
A single rail bridge and precise WSC JB15 tuners ensure consistent tuning stability and accurate intonation. The integrated Schaller S Lock strap pins provide added security and make the bass completely stage ready, even during energetic live performances. This makes the Fame Baphomet 5 III Gold a durable, professional instrument designed for long term reliability in both sound and construction.
