Mayones Jabba Classic 5 Bass Guitar, 5-String, Trans Graphite

Music Store Live is proud to be an official Mayones dealer. If you haven't checked these guys out yet, you're in for a real treat!

If you're looking for an axe that has a decidedly modern J-bass sound but still possesses that passive vintage vibe, then look no further! The Mayones Jabba Classic 5 is a modern Jazz bass player's dream. This one comes with the all-new Mayones Velvetrone pickups and they sound awesome! They have a bit of a modern edge to them while still being airy and havnig that classic vocal-like quality that allow single-coils to really sing out. They're nice and snappy for slap work and also have great punch for fingerstyle playing or if you want to dig in with a pick. Pair that with the Mayo 3-band preamp that boosts (or cuts) the bass, mids, and treble EQs at just the right frequencies and it's a recipe for success. The preamp is very transparent and hi-fi sounding. But if you want something a little more old-school sounding, it's also possible to bypass the preamp and play the bass in passive mode.

The neck is extremely fast, thin, and flat. It feels awesome and the overall construction of it, especially the fretwork, is extremely precise and allows for this bass to achieve crazy low action. A specially contoured neck heel for easy upper frets access, absolutely expert craftsmanship and overall meticulous attention to detail help make this one of the best 5-string j-style basses on the market!

JABBA is a perfect tool when you used to have “that sound”, however it has the modern taste inside its bowels. Different variants of these instruments allow you to choose your desired tone!
