Bleurg Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Today I had a few minutes in the company of something billed as a "Fame Baphomet" but actually it is the four string fretless variant of this: [url="http://www.mayones.com/en/katalog/be_series/be_5_exotic"]http://www.mayones.com/en/katalog/be_series/be_5_exotic[/url] Seemed decently made, played well and very attractive in the natural wood finish. Not familiar with the maker. Anybody got hands on experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I have a Mayones 6 string Elegance, brilliant bass. Jimmy Haslip and Janek Gwizdala both use Mayones basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I used to have a custom Be Exotic (mine had EMG single coils and an Aguilar OBP3), it was a very well made bass, no faults at all on fit and finish, played very nicely, had a jazzish profile neck. It was very modern sounding, worked well in the drop-B metal band I was in then - helpes me cut through the mix. Would also suit modern pop, soul and jazz, wouldn't pick it for Motown or classic rock though. I moved mine on when my tastes became more traditional a couple years back, but would happily have another one if the band I was in warrented it. Look up my old band Echovirus on Spotify or YouTube - I played all of our Invictus album with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I think they have a stand at this year's LBGS - if that isn't excuse enough to go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
