Sink Deep into Vibrant MonoNeon Funk
Dywane Thomas Jr., better known by his stage name MonoNeon, pairs his fluorescent aura with professional bass performance; this MonoNeon-inspired bass from Fender is the epitome of that standard. After collaborating on projects with artists like Nas, Prince, and Mac Miller, Dywane has inspired Fender to replicate the maneuverability, power, and design of the very instrument that catapulted him to success. With a smooth roasted maple neck and gold hardware, the MonoNeon Jazz Bass V provides players with the opportunity to tap into ultimate bass maneuverability. Two Custom Fireball humbuckers ensure that you’re only being delivered paramount MonoNeon tone, with the ability to fine-tune to your desired taste. To top everything off, the visual display of the Jazz Bass V mimics the flashy appearance of Dywane’s onstage adornments, and comes complete with a set of stickers and a signature headstock sock for absolute authenticity.

Roasted maple neck designed for maneuverability
MonoNeon makes delicious licks on the fretboard look easy. The secret to his success? A satin-finished roasted maple neck for limitless note arrangements. Complete with a 10–14-inch compound fingerboard radius, a “C”-shape neck profile, and a standard cutaway shape, the MonoNeon Jazz Bass V provides movement that feels more akin to playing on thin air than a chunky bass. To top everything off, the roasted maple fretboard includes attractive pearl block inlays and white side dots to ensure you’re hitting the right notes every time. Don’t let the comfort and style of this neck fool you: a powerful electronics system lies underneath, putting a wealth of even the sturdiest contemporary instruments to the test.
Built for funk Fireball custom pickups
The twin beauties adorned on the MonoNeon Jazz Bass V are Custom Fireball humbucking pickups, known for their explosive low-end tone and rounded warmth. This Jazz Bass V services them well and creates monstrous tone, thanks to the delivery of true string vibrations through a true bone nut and elegant toploaded 5-saddle bridge. To cater to MonoNeon’s addiction to tonal experimentation, the Jazz Bass V comes equipped with a set of treble, midrange, and bass EQ boosts, as well as a standard master volume and pan pot to cover a variety of sounds. Although Dywane is known for his southern soul and funk projects, the MonoNeon Jazz Bass V fits any bill from deluxe low-end bass lines to shrill jazzy slaps, and everything in between.
