Mayones Caledonius 5 5-String Bass, Ebony Fretboard, Velvetrone Pickups, Custom Roaring Fire Matt

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.

The Mayones Velvetrone Noble pickups have lots of growl with a distinct vintage snap. It's that classic 70's J-Bass tone you've heard countless times, with a little more of a modern edge. Pair that with the Mayones 3-band preamp that boosts (or cuts) the bass and treble EQs at just the right frequencies, along with an uber-responsive Middle control, and it's a recipe for tonal success. The preamp is very transparent and hi-fi sounding. But if you want to go a little more old-school, that's in there, too - you can bypass the preamp and play the bass in passive mode.

This is a pro-quality axe for the most discerning bassist who demands perfection out of their instrument.
