The latest signature model from Hadrien Feraud, the top French bassist hailed as the reincarnation of Jaco Pastorius, has arrived! This is the first Hadrien Feraud model to feature a lacquer finish and relic treatment! Since its founding in 1982, MAYONES (also pronounced Mayones overseas) has gained immense popularity not only in Europe and the United States but also domestically, thanks to its unique lineup and reliable quality. Its user list includes a host of top players, such as Hadrien Feraud, Mohini Dey (who was also selected as a tour member for B'z), Nathan Navarro, and Federico Malaman. The Jabba is based on the JB type, but with a 24-fret design that takes into account balance and playability. The Hadrien Feraud signature model further refines the control placement and neck shape to suit his diverse playing style. The body is made of swamp ash, the "Aged Blonde" color features a rosewood fingerboard, and the neck is made of maple with TWE processing. TWE (Tonally Enhanced Wood) improves the resonance, stability, and attack of the wood, similar to thermo-roasting or roasting processes. Furthermore, by applying a lacquer finish and then aging the instrument, it produces a smooth, mellow tone that blends naturally into ensembles, even though it's a brand-new instrument. The Adrian model features an 18mm string spacing, a neck that is 1mm thinner at the first fret than a standard Jabba, and a narrower neck width around the 12th fret, resulting in exceptional playability for phrasing that dances across the fretboard from the low to high positions, just like Adrian himself. The finger ramp positioned between the pickups has become so iconic that it can now be called his signature feature, and many bass players have installed it on their own instruments. The built-in Mayones original preamp can be switched between active and passive modes using the push/pull master volume control, allowing for fine-tuning depending on the genre and song. Furthermore, like the latest Jabba models, this unit's preamp can be switched between a 9V battery and a rechargeable battery, and it also features a headphone jack and AUX input, so you can easily practice in hotels while on tour without needing any other equipment. In 2006, at the young age of 22, he participated in John McLaughlin's album, and the following year, 2007, he released his own solo album and even held an event sponsored by Ikebe Musical Instruments. Since then, he has worked with many artists, and in recent years, he has taken over from Anthony Jackson to participate in the Hiromi Uehara Trio. Please try this instrument endorsed by a world-renowned master musician. ~Comment by Hadrien Feraud~ She's stunning and will simultaneously keep up, play along and challenge you on all aspects and genres.
