Mayones Hadrien Feraud 5 Aged Sunburst

The Mayones Jabba HF 5 Aged Sunburst is a masterclass in modern J-style bass design, seamlessly blending vintage aesthetics with cutting-edge components – and it comes stamped with the unmistakable touch of virtuoso Hadrien Feraud. This is not just a signature model in name – it’s an instrument built to meet the demands of one of the most technically gifted bassists on the planet, and it delivers tonal nuance, expressive control, and serious power.

Crafted from Swamp Ash, the body delivers a bright, punchy attack with tons of clarity, while still offering a balanced low end.  This Jabba HF is a one-piece Maple TEW roasted neck – ultra-stable thanks to dual carbon rods, offering supreme rigidity while still feeling lightning fast. The Rosewood fretboard adds a warm, slightly rounded edge to your attack, giving each note a touch of natural compression and harmonic depth. Combine that with the Transparent Sunburst Nitro finish (aged), and you get not just sonic power, but a truly vintage-inspired visual statement. The aged relic treatment is tastefully done – it gives the instrument character without going overboard

A subtle detail is the FERD WAGNER Nickel Silver frets (2.80 x 1.47), which feel smooth, fast, and allow for articulate phrasing – ideal for players like Feraud who explore the whole neck with precision.

Side dots use SGM-23 Super Green markers, a classy and functional touch for any stage, while the classic White Pearloid block inlays on the front give this bass that premium “vintage-meets-modern” visual appeal.

The bolt-on construction with a 20″ radius makes for a slick playing experience with a reassuringly familiar feel, while the 34.25” scale helps maintain tight low B-string response without compromising the overall tension and feel.

Where this bass really shines is in the electronics department. It comes loaded with a Velvetrone 3-band EQ – an active/passive system that gives you incredible tonal flexibility. Whether you want deep, dubby lows, snappy slap mids, or glassy highs for fusion runs, the preamp delivers with total control via individual controls for Bass, Middle, Treble, and a Volume push-pull (active/passive).

On top of that, the inclusion of the Velvetrone / Musashi Nitoryū 3 bass preamp & M-Headphones system pushes the envelope even further. This is not just an onboard preamp – it’s an audiophile-grade tone sculptor with onboard headphone out and AUX-in. Ideal for travel, practice, or warming up backstage with studio-quality tone right in your hands.
