Mayones Jabba Custom 4 Bass, Purpleheart Fretboard, 5A Burl Maple Top, Trans Dirty Purple Burst Gloss
PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE
We're very proud to continue to be a top Mayones dealer! If you haven't checked these guys out yet, you're in for a real treat! This gorgeous Jabba Custom 4 bass is pure purple royalty, featuring a phenomenal 5A burl maple top, a beautiful Trans Dirty Purple Burst Gloss finish and a Purpleheart fretboard to match, a Maple TEW (torrefied/roasted) neck for enhanced stability, classy black binding, and a set of Delano pickups.
If you're looking for a bass that's decidedly modern, but has all the vintage sensibilities you'd ideally carry forth in a contemporary bass and has the upgrades and impeccable build quality that Mayones has come to be known for, then this is it. The Jabba Custom 4 is a modern J-Bass player's dream.
The Delano JMVC 4 pickups serve up all the classic "J" tone you need with a modern edge. It's that classic 70's J-Bass tone you've heard countless times (think Marcus Miller). The Mayones Musashi 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.
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-fret access, absolutely expert craftsmanship and overall meticulous attention to detail help make this one of the best modern J-style basses on the market!
