Fair play! I like the mononeon accessories Fender are doing too. Great recognition!

. . . . and the accessories include a sock!!

[Cato]

It's certainly distinctive....

[skidder652003]

not sure about the distinctive yellow urethra finish...

[Cato]

I have a weird reaction to certain specific colour combinations on basses and guitars, in that they actually make me feel slightly nauseous.

 

Tortoiseshell scratch plates on red basses are the worst offenders, but that Mono Neon sig is definitely setting it off.

[Mokl]

I love this. Trying to work out how to justify and find the money for it lol !

[Old Horse Murphy]

[Eldon Tyrell]

Interesting character. Colour-wise it looks like an inverted Flea bass.

I love seeing a signature instrument that’s truly original and unlike anything else. It suits the player down to the ground, might not suit everyone but that’s ok!

[MichaelDean]

Thanks. I hate it. 

 

Fair play, he got what he wanted, but I'm not sure if Fender will need to make too many of them!

[wateroftyne]

It looks like an Australian's nightmare.

im a massive fan of mononeon. not sure about the bass. i wonder if he will actually use it.

[mxm]

Wouldn't it be more authentic (for the masses) if this was issued left handed only ?!!

[OliverBlackman]

It sounds pretty good. If they offered it in 3 TSB and Tort p/g, it’d sell well.

Of course he would. . . . did.

And I thought these looked bad, but this new Fender takes the cake!

[Duarte]

Sign me up - love it!

 

Although I am disappointed it won't be upside down for me. Presumably it comes in lefty!

[Fil1ip]

This signature has definitely split opinions, 

It's great to see something different and different type of accessories. 

It will be really interesting to see if these sell and potentially in 10 years it will be a rare item especially if the accessories are still with it. 

I did like the look of his Sandberg signature a few years ago 

[edpirie]

I'd love it if it was a one-off, but don't like the idea of playing a signature bass personally as I'd always feel like an imposter, like who am I trying to kid? Sounds a lot better on the Scary Pockets gig posted above than on the official demo, but then he's never going to run through a normal soundcheck. Wonder if he swapped out the preamp though - it's probably the same as the Elite which is a bit crap in my experience.

[Sibob]

Just buy a stock Lakland 55-01, that’s what he’s played the most over the years haha.

Never heard of Mononeon but I think the bass is cool! Nice to see something different. I wouldn't buy one but do appreciate it's existence. 

[jazzmanb]

i Like it 

i don't play fives and i'm getting on a bit for bright funky basses but he's a great talent and it looks a nice bit of kit at the money 

 

Cue the oldies and their quips 😉

Serious question, what's the sock for?

By keeping the headstock warm, the bass maintains perfect tuning

 

Either that or you may want to disguise you play Fender

Everytime I've seen him play (on YT) he's been using a 6 string.

 

Google: It was Duchamp's readymades that prompted him to drape a sock over the headstock of his bass. You could interpret his viral video covers as expressions of Duchamp's principle of “found art.” “The rebelliousness of Dadaism is something I channel a lot in my music,” MonoNeon says.19 Apr 2018
