Mayones Cali 5 Mini Bass Spalted Maple 

DESCRIPTION

It might be half the size of Mayones' custom series basses, but the Cali carries the same design philosophy & great tone, playability and highest attention to build quality and ergonomy.

Neck-through-body construction (in both wenge and maple versions), beautiful top woods, highest quality fit & finish – no step has been skipped to ensure that the Cali bass is 100% of the Mayones quality you expect.

It has also one additional feature – the Cali is a perfect travel companion due to its compact size and built-in headphone amp. It’s easy to carry, pack and set up to play everywhere & anywhere.

Mayones' goal and intention is to save as much wood as they can in their production pipeline – Cali is built from leftovers of quality woods they use for their full-size instruments, which are too small to use in a regular-sized instrument. It's available in a limited number of copies per year.

INDIVIDUALLY PHOTOGRAPHED

After 15 years of innovation in our photography process, Ish Guitars has developed a way to get you the most accurate true-to-life color of every instrument we sell. We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.
