The 5-String club Part 2

My current 2 5'ers, a Mayones Jabba Custom and a Ken Smith BSR5PE

That MJ looks a lot like my Cort GB5 Custom... :)

Cerrod, how would you describe your Jabba bass ? There aren't many reviews for these.

Hey Session, I've seen some guys write these eloquent well-worded sonic descriptions but I can't say I've got those skills. This is generic I know but, IMO it sounds like a killer warm & phat jazz bass. The build quality is excellent as well. Better than any written description I can provide, here's a video from YouTube with a good recording and way better chops than I have. This is a VERY accurate representation of what my bass sounds like without any coloration from an amp/cab. I have the same eye polar top, stock Delano PU's and stock Mayones 2 band pre w/ VTC.



One last bit of info I'll share in case it helps anyone interested, a fellow TB'er toured the Mayones factory last year and shared pics in this thread.

Hope that helps some:)

Ceerod, thanks for the confirmation because that video helped me decide and look what I received , just yesterday. Your description is spot on, btw.
