Mononeon Signature Jazz Bass?
- Thread starter primussucks9126

If purchasing this bass made me play like Mono Neon, I would buy every single one I could get my hands on.
For like $6k, it better come with his drummer and keyboardist too
I am happy it is made in Mexico
Because it would be pushing $2,500 if it were MIA. This looks like a Roscoe Beck V redux with funky colors and 18mm spacing instead of a full 19mm. I hope it is not as heavy as the old Roscoe Beck because that bass almost put my leg to sleep and I was not crazy about the full-size body either. That said, the Roscoe Beck V is pretty high on the list of basses I wish I had kept, however, it ranks below my old DJ5 because it had the great neck AND the 3/4 size body. Sadowsky uses that same formula and I love my RSD too.

$1,500 worth of lessons will get you closer to that goal than any signature bass.
Fender is getting a lot of use out of those double J pickups.
Yeah, the price tag is ridiculous. It's too bad that his model is exactly what I'm looking for right now, but it's totally out of the question. Even for half the price.
I played those type of Fender humbackers on my Deluxe Precision and Blacktop Precision. Never liked the sound.
They should make it with an optional microtonal fingerboard.
Not for me but the specs look great. If it's the Charvel neck I think people will be very pleased, it's awesome.
Looks like a leak! You can zoom into the neck plate and it has Mononeon -logo and everything! Really fun looking bass!
It might be an accidentally on purpose leak to test response.

My eyes are hurting! It looks like a Flea Bass.
I hope to find a knitted, colorful sock for the headstock in the case too.
MonoNeon is a national/intergalactic treasure and I hope he gets a big pile of that Fender $$$
He has such a unique style and look that I wouldn't want to copy it. That said, the humbucker J's are pretty damn cool.
