Mayones Jabba Custom VF 5 Master Grade Buckeye Burl Resin
Mayones Jabba Custom VF 5 Master Grade Buckeye Burl Resin
Serial Number: JAB2609772
Weight: 9.0 lbs.
The Mayones Jabba Custom VF 5 in Black/Gold Resin (Serial #JAB2609772) combines a fanned-fret 5-string build with a Master Grade buckeye burl top. Buckeye burl comes from the knotted growths on buckeye trees. Here its open, swirling figure is filled with black and gold resin to complete the shape of the top. Underneath sits a Swamp Ash TEW body, using Mayones’ Tonally Enhanced Wood treatment. A gloss finish covers the body, and a matching buckeye burl headstock carries embossed silver Mayones M and Jabba logos. This one weighs 9.0 lb.
Its Maple TEW neck has the Jabba 5 VF carve (.845" at the 1st fret, .945" at the 12th fret) with a satin finish, and the bolt-on joint gives every note a tight, punchy attack. A 33-35" multi-scale layout gives the low B a longer scale, keeping it firm and focused, while the treble strings stay comfortable under the fretting hand. An ebony fretboard has a 20" radius, 24 Ferd Wagner nickel silver frets (2.80 x 1.47 mm) and SB-20 Super Blue side dots. The nut measures 1.930". Black hardware runs throughout, with Hipshot Ultralite Clover tuners and individually adjustable single saddles at the bridge.
Two Mayones Velvetrone Noble VF 5 pickups feed a Musashi Nitōryū 3 preamp. Pulling the volume knob switches between active and passive modes, and you also get a pickup balance knob, a middle control, stacked treble/bass and a passive tone control. An aux input and a built-in headphone output let you practice with backing tracks without an amp. Whether you’re a progressive metal player who needs a tight low B, a fusion player who wants clarity across all 5 strings, or a collector of Mayones custom basses, the Jabba Custom VF 5 has the build and the electronics to match. (Serial #JAB2609772) It ships with a Mayones Hybrid Gigbag. Order today from Brian’s Guitars.
