Fender has officially launched the all-new MonoNeon Jazz Bass® V to honor the inventive bassist’s singular vision and empower players everywhere to approach the instrument with the same curious spirit that has fueled his vivid career. Known for his knack for funk and micro-tonal detail, creating a signature instrument that encapsulates MonoNeon’s spirit and ability is a tall order.  Mono’s fashion sense is on par with his playing, often adorned in fluorescent layers and accessories that would give any glow stick a run for its money. Thanks to this signature model’s eye-popping yellow and orange finish and pickguard, the optics on this bass keep up with the fashion sense of the man who inspired its creation. That being said, the MonoNeon Jazz Bass® V is far more than meets the eye.

The MonoNeon Jazz Bass® V features an alder body finished in an eye-popping neon yellow urethane finish, complemented by a neon orange painted headstock and pickguard. The 22-fret one-piece roasted maple neck is C-shaped for comfort and has a 10”-14” compound radius fingerboard and pearl block inlays. Custom Fireball™ 5-String Humbucking Bass pickups deliver luscious and robust low end with a growl, while the 18-volt active preamp provides extra headroom. Meanwhile, the 3-band active EQ gives players endless tonal capabilities and the Fender HiMass®string-through-top-load bridge increases resonance, weight and sustain. Each bass comes with a MonoNeon sticker pack and custom headstock Stance® sock.

Accompanying the launch of the Mononeon Jazz Bass® V is “In Conversation with MonoNeon,” a video  hosted by George Clinton, as he guides viewers through the “Monoverse.” The piece features a series of jam sessions, including the “Duo of Bullshit” with MonoNeon and Blaque Dynamite, as well as commentary from his mother, grandmother and father, Dywane Thomas Sr. 

“Getting my own artist signature bass with Fender is definitely a full circle experience happening right now,” said MonoNeon. “Seeing my dad holding my bass is really crazy. He’s like my first musical hero. He’s a very funky player. I’d just practice to all of his records, try to find anything he played on and just learn it. I wanted to be just like him and I still do.” 

MonoNeon Jazz Bass® V ($1,549.99 USD, £1,399.00 GBP, €1,649.00 EUR, $2,899.00 AUD, ¥210,320 JPY) From avant-garde to southern soul to funk and all notes in-between, MonoNeon’s astounding musical range, tone and taste are always on full display. He collaborated with Prince, recorded Making a Movie with Ne-Yo and won a Grammy for Best Rap Album with Nas. MonoNeon’s massive YouTube channel showcases his mind-bending jams and masterpieces on his favorite Fender® basses. The MonoNeon Jazz Bass® V features an alder body finished in an eye-popping neon yellow urethane finish, complemented by a neon orange painted headstock and pickguard. The 22-fret one- piece roasted maple neck features a 10”-14” compound radius fingerboard and elegant white pearl block inlays. Custom-wound FireballTM 5- string bass Humbucking pickups deliver fat, punchy tone while the 18-volt active preamp with 3-band EQ provides flexible tone-shaping for any style of music. The Fender HiMass® string-through/top- load bridge provides increased resonance and sustain and the gold hardware adds to the distinctive look of this stunning bass. Also Included are a MonoNeon sticker pack and custom headstock sock. The MonoNeon Jazz Bass® V makes a statement – equal parts swagger and serious business.
