The Man, The Myth, The LegendYou’ve seen him. Even if you’ve managed to somehow remain unaware of his name in bass circles; somehow slept on his Whammy-fied, octave-up flights of funk; stayed in the dark on the man behind all that brightness – you’ve definitely seen the chromatically colorful, comic book character-esque MonoNeon. And if, like most of us, you’ve heard his brilliance on the bass for yourself, then it should come as no surprise that this mythic, string-slapping superhero has been recognized with his own signature bass! Fender has just released their MonoNeon Jazz Bass V, a Mexican-made, Mono-spec’d 5-string J-Bass, retailing at $1,599.99 and now widely available. We jumped at the chance to take a close look at one and pass our findings on to you!
