The Human Base Owners Club !!!

I searched the Board but couldn't find a Human Base club. So I'll start one!

This is the club for all owners of one or more of Siggi Jaeger's creations, no matter if they're made in Germany or Orange County/CA.

Here's a pic of my X-Over fivestring. I'll post some close-ups, too, just have to take some better pictures.

I have one of Siggi's pre-Human Base basses. It's called No Sweat and was marketed by Bert Gerecht (Hotwire) when he still operated his legendary bass store in Frankfurt (Mr. Bassman).

It needs a refinish and a fret setup, there are some Le Fay pickups waiting, too. Love this base

i own a basex 5string fretless that looks pretty much the same like bass_bernds only with 5strings. i put in a fretless-master preamp (silvermachine) and have now a semi-parametric mid control and bass-eq. it is by far the best fretless i ever helt in my hands.

Very very nice going with the Class X. Extreme quality in that bass. I would go and check out one of the us models. They are not on the "Siggi custom" level but are exeptional in tone and quality/Playability for roughly half the cost of a custom line model.


Yours Truly,

Well i dont live in the us, and i have to admit that after meeting siggi, playing this bass for 3 years i doubt i would love the american ones as much as i love the original one!
Siggis basses really are works of art! I played on 3 of them, mine and 2 that friends have and i have to say that they are all differents... The shape is not the same, little details are differents, its like he makes a bass depending on his mood and the wood he has, they almost feel alive, they change and play great somedays but feel strange on others!
I doubt the new US ones have a soul like his do!

Just 2 pics of the bass in question, had it for 3 years, and as strang as it sounds i had an "vision" while on the way to germany to pick it up, i was in the car driving, told my friend "i know im going to have the class X number 35!"when we arrived i saw it, was afraid to touch it for 10 minutes, was just looking at it!
Started playing, loved it, and my mate went "wow, look at the number on the headstock..."it was number 35!

They are works of living art. And no, the US version are not like Siggi's creations. Beautiful bass by the way!!!!
