A Signature That Shakes Up Jazz Bass Tradition
Designed within the "Artist" series, the MonoNeon Jazz Bass V builds on the DNA of the legendary Jazz Bass while adopting the ultra-vivid aesthetic of visionary bassist MonoNeon. This 5-string version combines classic Fender craftsmanship with high-end electronics tailored for today?s stage, from explosive funk to modern productions.
Who Is It For, and What Styles?
Ideal for
intermediate to professional bassists seeking a versatile and punchy 5-string. Perfect for funk, R&B/neo-soul, hip-hop, gospel, pop, and fusion, it retains enough clarity for rock and shines in the studio thanks to its wide tonal palette and low noise.
Sound
The 5-string Fireball humbuckers deliver
precise highs,
punchy mids, and
tight lows. The 18 V preamp provides a wide dynamic range: slap, aggressive picking, or smooth fingerstyle remain clear without clipping. The pan pot blends the two pickups, while the 3-band EQ sculpts the spectrum with precision. In passive mode, you get a more organic attack and a very musical response. The alder body offers balance and projection, the roasted maple neck enhances attack and sustain, and the HiMass topload bridge stabilizes tuning while extending note duration.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Delivered with a Deluxe gig bag, this bass perfectly accommodates a
5-string set with gauges .045?.125 (nickel-plated steel or stainless steel depending on your preference). Add a
wide, non-slip strap for long sessions, a
quality 6.35 mm jack cable (straight/right-angled on the instrument side according to your comfort), a
clip-on tuner, and a
bass stand. For reinforced transport, opt for a
hard case compatible with 5-string Jazz Bass.
