PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE
The stunningly unique Mayones Caledonius 5 gives you a lot of the benefits of a singlecut bass (usually meaning a more pronounced low-end and balance on the shoulders) in a fresh new design and eye catching shape. This one, being a 5-string, features a perfect scale length that allows the lower strings to stay at a good tension.
For the singlecut lover who wants something a bit different, this bass is going to be perfect. It plays like an absolute dream! The flat fretboard radius makes for effortless string skipping. The incredible fretwork helps to achieve incredibly low action. And the overall construction of the bass makes it so you can feel the entire thing vibrate and resonate with every note you play.
Decked out with Aguilar Super Double pickups, this bass has powerful electronics that provide a wealth of versatility with a relatively simple control layout. The pickups are modern and hi-fi sounding and there's a lot of character to them. The double coils help to keep the tone full if you solo the bridge pickup. With all the preamp controls flat and both pickups on the tone is extremely tight, punchy, and growly. But really that's just a starting point. The onboard Mayo preamp allows you to either mellow your sound out, scoop it for some slap, or make it more aggressive in the mid-range, for example, without ever having to turn around to touch your amp. It also sounds great run in passive mode to get a bit more of a vintage tone.
This is a pro-quality axe for the most discerning bassist who demands perfection out of their instrument.
