*This bass has just been professionally set up. It plays "like butter" and sounds fantastic.
This ACTUAL bass can also be seen here in the Mayones marketing photos for this model.As far as I am aware, this was the first one of these built, and I am not sure whether any others were made. (I have not been able to find another one.)
Here is a video of a similar bass but with 4 strings to show the tone: https://www.facebook.com/Mayones.Guitars.Basses/videos/1171727499514280
