Mayones Hadrien Feraud Signature Jabba HF 5 FTS Monolith White Satin
Serial Number: JAB2509478
Weight: 9.1 lbs.
The Mayones Hadrien Feraud Signature Jabba HF 5 FTS in Monolith White Satin (Serial #JAB2509478) is a fretless 5-string bass built to the specs of French jazz-fusion virtuoso Hadrien Feraud. It starts with an uncommon pairing: a spruce top over a swamp ash body. Spruce is a tonewood far more often found on acoustic soundboards than on electric basses. Over the ash body, it adds an open, lively character that suits a fretless voice. The satin Monolith White finish carries over to the spruce headstock, which wears Feraud’s signature decal. Gold hardware completes the look. This one weighs 9.1 lbs.
The bolt-on maple neck has the Jabba 5 carve (.825" at the 1st fret, .890" at the 12th) with a satin finish for smooth, fast shifts up and down the board. The fretless pau ferro fretboard has white pearloid block inlays and a flat 20" radius for easy reach across all five strings. The 34.25" scale adds tension and focus to the low B, and a Graph Tech TUSQ nut sets up the strings at the headstock. A Mayones Bigfoot 5-18 bridge with 18mm string spacing anchors the strings, and Hipshot Ultralite Clover tuners keep the headstock light and tuning steady.
The electronics give this Jabba its range. A pair of Delano JMVC 5 FE pickups feed Mayones’ Musashi Nitōryū 3-band preamp, with controls for volume, pickup balance, treble, middle, and bass. A push/pull on the volume switches between active and passive modes. The built-in M-Headphones system adds a headphone output for silent practice anywhere. From singing, vocal fretless leads to deep, focused grooves, this bass covers a lot of ground. Whether you’re a jazz or fusion player chasing that expressive fretless sound, a session bassist who needs active and passive voices on tap, or a fan of Hadrien Feraud’s playing, the Jabba HF 5 FTS delivers. This Hadrien Feraud Signature Jabba HF 5 FTS (Serial #JAB2509478) includes a Mayones Hybrid Case. Order today from Brian’s Guitars.
