skidder652003 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 not sure about the distinctive yellow urethra finish... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I have a weird reaction to certain specific colour combinations on basses and guitars, in that they actually make me feel slightly nauseous. Tortoiseshell scratch plates on red basses are the worst offenders, but that Mono Neon sig is definitely setting it off. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldon Tyrell Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Interesting character. Colour-wise it looks like an inverted Flea bass. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno1981 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I love seeing a signature instrument that’s truly original and unlike anything else. It suits the player down to the ground, might not suit everyone but that’s ok! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDean Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Thanks. I hate it. Fair play, he got what he wanted, but I'm not sure if Fender will need to make too many of them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulstar89 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 im a massive fan of mononeon. not sure about the bass. i wonder if he will actually use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxm Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Wouldn't it be more authentic (for the masses) if this was issued left handed only ?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverBlackman Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 It sounds pretty good. If they offered it in 3 TSB and Tort p/g, it’d sell well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duarte Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Sign me up - love it! Although I am disappointed it won't be upside down for me. Presumably it comes in lefty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fil1ip Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 This signature has definitely split opinions, It's great to see something different and different type of accessories. It will be really interesting to see if these sell and potentially in 10 years it will be a rare item especially if the accessories are still with it. I did like the look of his Sandberg signature a few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edpirie Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I'd love it if it was a one-off, but don't like the idea of playing a signature bass personally as I'd always feel like an imposter, like who am I trying to kid? Sounds a lot better on the Scary Pockets gig posted above than on the official demo, but then he's never going to run through a normal soundcheck. Wonder if he swapped out the preamp though - it's probably the same as the Elite which is a bit crap in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Just buy a stock Lakland 55-01, that’s what he’s played the most over the years haha. Si 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lw. Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Never heard of Mononeon but I think the bass is cool! Nice to see something different. I wouldn't buy one but do appreciate it's existence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzmanb Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 i Like it i don't play fives and i'm getting on a bit for bright funky basses but he's a great talent and it looks a nice bit of kit at the money Cue the oldies and their quips 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google: It was Duchamp's readymades that prompted him to drape a sock over the headstock of his bass. You could interpret his viral video covers as expressions of Duchamp's principle of “found art.” “The rebelliousness of Dadaism is something I channel a lot in my music,” MonoNeon says.19 Apr 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
