Dear Bass Player!
Mayones Cali is a very functional instrument. Apart from its incredible acoustic properties
and playability, it also offers a professional tone - both when used with a typical bass amp,
as well as in practice situations, thanks to its internal headphone amp. Cali mini bass is a pro-
fessional instrument that can be placed on par with a regular bass. It may also be a highlight at
live shows, during some brilliant solos, or in case of arrangements written specifically for its
short scale.
The Cali bass features an embedded active three-band-EQ preamp that provides the player
with a broad range of tone adjustments in the bass, mids, and treble areas. The push-pull
volume knob in this model allows the user to bypass the preamp completely, thus making the
instrument completely passive.
If you are looking for something more sophisticated, then we have prepared the Cali VFret
model that has a varied scale for each of the strings and fanned frets (17.1" - 18.3" multiscale),
a tilted pick-up and bridge comprising out of individual modules for each of the strings.
Note:
The present instruction manual constitutes an addendum to the basic version of the
Mayones Electric Bass Manual. The manual you are holding complements the basic manual
within the scope of the specific design and usability features of the Cali bass. The aforesaid
instruction manual can be downloaded from the www.mayones.com website.
