Morten Bau talks about the new Wingman | The Unplugged Sessions | Baum Guitars
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- We sit down with Morten Bau, Founder of Baum Guitars, and chat about the Wingman design: Why it appeals to so many different players, why it sounds like it does, and where the look came from.
Morten also discusses the much-criticized Bigsby system, which can be the best-sounding system if set up properly.
Grab a cup of coffee and let's hear what Morten has to say.
And yes, it's in Danish because we wanted to let Morten bring his perspectives and thoughts without the language barrier. It's translated for the rest of the world! ;)
THE UNPLUGGED SESSION
Our new short format is where we take a moment to unplug from all our music and put some words on the thoughts behind everything instead.
ABOUT BAUM.
DANISH ORIGIN. PLAYED WORLDWIDE.
Baum is a Danish brand designing and manufacturing high-quality instruments in Aarhus, Denmark. Led by design & guitar connoisseurs, the Baum team design, and crafts a variety of guitars and basses rooted in Danish design and modern instrument crafts. This style combines simplification and sophistication with minimalism and functionalism.
The Baum signature looks new, yet feels so familiar.

Baum quantifies niche. The Danish way.

I love this style, esp in creamy white♡ Sounds amazing, for sure.
I'm really considering treating myself to one of these for my birthday 🎂
Definitely helps that they have a payment plan 😅
En helt igennem fantastisk guitar, som må befinde sig på den absolut øverste hylde, når det handler om guitarer. Måske har den en hylde helt for sig selv,
hvor den i kraft af nytænkning i design og forbedringer i forhold til, hvad man ellers ser på andre top brands.
I love baum ❤️
Thanks so much, Kent! All the best from us / Morten and Baum 😊
❤❤❤❤
Damn, picking a color is tough but, that creamy white has a classy head turning look about it.
Is it 3.4kg with the bigsby? If so it's insanely light!
Yep! Gotta keep it comfy, right?
I really like the design and ascetics of the guitars, but I'm just not a fan of the F brand type squared off neck heal. The corner digs into the palm and limits the accessibility to higher frets if you want to hit high notes. A slightly more rounded heal would take these already amazing guitars to another level of playability. But that's just my thoughts, still I'd love to own one!
Hey! Fair point and we agree. Our bodies are thinner than you usual strat (36 mm compared to 42 mm), so there is already compensated for that :)
All the best,
Jeppe
@@baumguitars oh yes I didn't think of that, thanks for the reply.
I want to get one in usa hardtail moon creme color
Here you go: baumguitars.com/product/wingman-vega-moon-dust-2-0/ :D
From the way he's holding the guitar it looks like its really neck heavy. Despite him saying its not. Does anybody have first hand experience with the wingman shape?
Fair point and that's just how he sits with any guitar really. :) They don't tend to be neck heavy and usually have a great balance. Of course, some may dive a bit because the wood is lighter than our normal reference. Others have a heavier body and that's the charm of using a natural material :-). Usually, it's around 3.4 KG +/- .
Hope you liked the video though and found the information useful!
All the best, Jeppe / Baum
@@baumguitars thanks for the indepth reply! Are the woods used in the Wingman Vega Series more prone to neck dive? Since the neck is not baked (ergo heavier) and the body is made of Bayur instead of mahogany?
Yes, I have had one for almost 2 years and it has become my go-to for everything. Honestly no issues with the balance and playability, never noticed any neck-dive. All the things he talks about in this video are a pretty understated review, there's no exaggeration (although I can't comment on the brass saddles and tuners because that's in the new model only). The only bad thing I've experienced is some microphonic feedback when I use fuzz and too much gain at stupid volumes... but that's probably more on me
What did he say?
A lot of wise things. It's in the subtitles too ;-)
Buying the Batwing in Inca Gold luv your work
Actually he advertises more about defects than positives about this guitar. He is a great musician but definetely a lousy representative in this video...
Parla di meno e suona di più
Sempre a doversi far riconoscere col tricolore in mano e lo striscione "sono un cretino ", eh? Il titolo dice "Morten Baum PARLA della nuova Wingman". E questo fa nel video. Poi arrivi tu col commento geniale a dirgli quello che dovrebbe fare. Fa' una cosa: parla di meno tu, e basta. Maleducato.
