Does anybody know Nigar basses?

Never heard about them.
The name doesn't seem too appropriate for the US market.
Fo' shizzle, yo.

 

The headstock looks very interesting. Dont think Ive ever seen one so curvacious.

There's a four-string on sale here (with pic):

I'd bet that's not an American-made bass. As Jazz Ad said, a name like that would probably not be too well received. Maybe made in Slovakia? The lams and rounded edges on the headstock bring Neuser to mind.

 

All I can think of when I see the name of that bass is the episode on the Chappelle Show about the "N****r Family"!
Dave Chappelle, while completely crossing the line at times, is one funny human being!

...ok, back to our regularly scheduled topic...

 

LOL, exactly what I thought as soon as I seen the topic. I just couldn't stop laughing.

 

Wow! Now that's something!

 

That bass is most likely made by K&K basses by Slovak luthier Aloiz Krajicek ([email protected]). The headstock is typical for them.
Their webpage is down at the moment (http://www.bassguitars.cz/), but if you do a search for K&K basses you can find some other models on web as well.
This guy http://www.richardscheufler.wz.cz/en/en.htm is their endorser.

Here is very interesting interview with the luthier:

...in Slovak..

 

you racist basstard!

 

That headstock is identical to Piotr's one.

Looks like Nigar=K&K

Thanks nemo!

 

yeah. where he`s from?

 

I've seen a few used Nigars, too.
As Nemo said, they are made in Slovakia.

 

LOL!

 

What's to and LOL about? Guy wants to know something, the power of TB helps him out. Of course there are great bass players in Poland and great luthiers in Slovakia. Conversely, even.

 

The LOL and smilies are because discussing Nigar basses gives Americans and other English speakers a chance to almost say a word that they would other wise be criticized for using.

 

Indeed

 

Nigar basses? are you kidding me? haha that is one funny coincidence. nice looking tho

 

Hello!

I am a happy owner. It was very expensive bass with Basstec pickups and Gotoh gold mechanics. They did a great peace (5 string) specialy for me with serial number 5. On the picture is a little dust on it, because I mostly use now an American Fender jazz bass.[/IMG][/IMG]
