Introducing the MAYONES - Ori Enji 5 // Demo by Nate Navarro

[@ficeto]

Having two NG3 and full Darkglass gear around them, I predict this bass will be more expensive than them all put together. Unobtainium for the average person. Pretty though

[@Coconut_seb]

NG3 is already too much expensive for what is it. this Mayones is 3.7K€ but it's Mayones...

[@bassimprovjams3772]

What a stunning bass!!! Sheesh!😍 you know a dingwall has done something special when you see everyone trying to out do them. This is next level though. My NG is so jelly right now!

[@BassRacerx]

DUDE. i love everything about this bass. extra long scale boy. i love the textured finish and the swoopy angular cuts in the body!

[@tornoutlaw]

I ilike it, but the pricetag is almost 4k $/€. I get the electronic features and build quality are super cool and it's a Mayones...still. Maybe if they release a 6 string for a comparable price I start saving up.

[@BassRacerx]

@@tornoutlaw these are all handmade it's not a mass produced instrument.

[@semioscuro24]

​@tornoutlaw at that price range you could buy a dingwall afterburner new... I know which one I'd pick lol

[@andrewneehall5664]

@ No custom options though. AT that price I would want to be able to spec a custom finish at least, if not different wood tops, etc.

[@BassRacerx]

@@andrewneehall5664 mayones splits the difference between a 5k-7k custom shop fender/esp and a standard off the rack factory built $1500 $2k guitar. I know the sticker shock is real but the attention to detail, wood selection, craftsmanship is unmatched at their price. If it's not worth the price to you the consumer that's fair get something else. These are boutique instruments and are going to have a higher price.

[@anotherhomeysan]

He said "Enji" and I thought I heard "NG" like Nolly Getgood

[@flipper2gv]

That would be a nice joke/reference by Mayones.

[@lummond]

That's probably the idea. Like how "jabba" is their Jazz Bass

[@ABPWPB]

It does really look like a dingwall, exept for the body shape mostly

[@TheSwiatu]

​@@flipper2gvIt wasn't but I the joke is a good one.

[@stuballingerart]

I see "Mayones" and I know it's out of my budget haha

[@rl-ub9hx]

I think I saw something about 3000 Euro?

[@stuballingerart]

@rl-ub9hx only listing I saw was 3200 Pounds haha. Thats over $6k minus tax in Australia for me haha

[@rl-ub9hx]

@stuballingerart that's uh... Unfortunate mate

[@noahbrewer2476]

Bruh just go buy a dingwall honestly.

[@rl-ub9hx]

@@noahbrewer2476 have you owned a Dingwall? I've had a few Canadians and imports. The one that stayed with me is my import DROC. And honestly the best 37 inch multi-scale right out the box I ever played was the LTD B1005MS Back when they were 1200 1300usd new. The second best sounding and playing multi-scale was a kiesel jazz. If we want to talk price point value to be honest if Mayones is coming in at 50-60% the cost of a Canadian Dingwall there's grounds for debate that it may be a better value.

[@thorugs2816]

Killer playing and tone! 🙌🏼

[@TomMarello]

Amazing blend of engineering and design. Appearance-wise, it reminds me of Padalka basses

[@ElliottWorby]

Agreed. The copied Dingwall and sort of Padalka (although Padalka are a lot nicer). Fun fact, Padalka is now employed by Dingwall and working on their Master Series out of Saskatoon!

[@steveschu]

I luv that dirty sound isolated and its knife like attack. Awesome in the mix as well.

[@PaweSkalczynski]

Great tone, you showed that this bass can fit in different styles. I always thought that this construction is solely for "harder" tones but the part with different pickup combinations proved me wrong.

[@han_mono]

That thumb’d heavy riff in the intro gives me fear factory vibes 🔥Great Video and playing as always 🙌

[@driftless7134]

Great looking and sounding bass! The body looks comfortable against the torso too.

[@1234drums]

Absolutely gorgeous ✨

[@rayhewitt6875]

Sounds better than a Dingwall!! IMHO

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Nice gnarly tone 🔥

[@florenttenryu5011]

Beautiful ❤❤❤

[@KyleSKonkiel]

Killer as always

[@pCeLobster]

Cool looking bass.

[@Billtuba]

So they made a Dingwall?

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Because originality is so prevalent in instrument production and retail....and except for angled triple pi kups, it doesn't look that much like a dingwall.

[@Billtuba]

@ multi scale, fanned frets, 6 way selector switch…

[@rl-ub9hx]

@@Billtuba do you have a better suggestion for selecting between three pickups?

[@Billtuba]

@@rl-ub9hx what about my original or subsequent post made you think I was a luthier or knew anything about electronics? I’m not a very smart person. I just said it looks like a Dingwall. I make bass go fluba fluba weedely weedely wooo.

[@edwinacosta1354]

That thing looks like LeFay had a kid with Dingwall!

[@1michaelricci]

Boarding my flight to NAMM and this bass is first on my list to check out.

[@1michaelricci]

Came home with a gunmetal gray ORI ENJI 5 🩶 What an instrument!!

[@mforgetteable]

The dingwalla!!! Still need one.

[@rl-ub9hx]

This is IMO more feature packed then any bass on the market. Built in headphone jack?!? Rechargeable battery?!?! And a P4 pickup that let's you use many brands. This is a crazy instrument and I love it. Y'all act like there hasn't been over a dozen other brands with a 37-35" multi scale for the past 10yrs.

[@m.boroova]

Greetings from Poland! Love the riff from 3:34 ❤

[@CHEWYCHEWYQQ]

I'll always be glad that bass players have more options, and these basses seem really well made, but I don't see a reason to get this over a Dingwall. May if you really, really love Mayones?

[@rl-ub9hx]

The headphone jack, p4 pickup shells for more pickup options? Maybe you like the looks of this one more (I love my DROC body over this, but would love the features this offers).

[@CHEWYCHEWYQQ]

@@rl-ub9hx There's tons of tiny headphone amps now on the market that also have other features like tuners or drum machines, and don't have to sit in the body cavity. Changing pickups is one advantage, but I don't see the point when the original bass is that expensive. I do really like the look though. The orange finish in particular looks really great.

[@rl-ub9hx]

@@CHEWYCHEWYQQ yeah I use a boss katana go and mustang micro before that. But I do like the thought that in a pinch you didn't need anything but the bass. I would have loved to have seen Bluetooth aux instead. As far as pickups go it doesn't matter to me how expensive I picked up is they all have different voices some kill it in one genres but disappear in another. I have bass that are for rock and metal and others for R&B

[@김태우-u9m]

impressive !

[@TenFalconsMusic]

. *8:26** Milking* *Nice👍*

[@bassyey]

I can't tell if any of basses he tests are any good over each other, because every bass he plays turns out good with his skill. The finish of this looks like my Edwards Amaze bass in blue.

[@erikarko]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Pebblebass]

Sounds slick, wouldve been useful to know what the pickup combinations actually are though 😂

[@roberthofmann932]

You can find the information on the mayones homepage

[@chakos94]

Mayones made a little bit of better Dingwall than Dingwall. The specs I prefer this bass better than dingwall are the stainless steel frets and the pickup rotary shows the positions. I love my Dingwall NG but these are the two things I think are better about this bass. So I'd like to try one but I wouldn't replace my dingwall just for that reason.

[@yorkunt]

So sweet

[@ninjalife8467]

Wow so jazzy :o)

[@Bassic778]

A very nice-looking and nice-sounding bass!!!! Too bad they don't make a 6-string version!

[@CPurdiePlays]

Good thing I can't afford this. What an incredible bass.

[@dougleydorite]

I’ll take an NG

[@danielchandc]

well its an enji

[@saschamsc]

Ahh the DingYones Ori Getgood.

[@valendis]

What happened to high frequencies in those modern basses? I always dislike the sounds of these, same with dingwalls, it's all mids, so weird.

[@rl-ub9hx]

My Dingwalls are all high mid and I have to boost the lows compared to all my other basses

Porcupine tree

[@sasmithananth7771]

I didn’t know origami is the new word for dingwall

[@ElliottWorby]

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery… that mediocrity can pay to greatness”. I always thought of Mayones as innovators… not blatant imitators in SO MANY ways here. Great playing as always Nate! At least Ibanez did their own thing with multi scale.

[@semioscuro24]

Yep first Kiesel and now Mayones... just seems lazy

[@gustavomazonave8536]

Imitating a scale length is not blatantly copying Dingwall. 34" is copied from Fender?. Pickup configuration too, the jazz bass standard created by Fender? Mayones here made a new body that looks and probably feels different, much like brands creating the Super Strats after Fender

[@trance9158]

@@semioscuro24 nothing on this copies a dingwall.

[@andrewneehall5664]

@@trance9158 Most things on this copy Dingwall. From the 3 pickups to the Wenge neck, scale length, inlay dot positioning. Its basically an off the shelf bass for the price of a custom Afterburner. Cool but overpriced.

[@trance9158]

@andrewneehall5664 the hardware and electronics are custom nobody has copyright on scale lengths and the 3 pup configuration isn't exclusive to any particular brand either.

[@JpeterZoom-gt3pn]

sounds very much a dingwall bass

[@CatalystOfFire]

For 4,000 USD an instrument better have my name laser etched on it, not ori and the blind forest.

[@basssoup8455]

😂😂

[@benjaminbisordi1675]

No, Nate, Mayones is not an instrument.

[@Thurgor_Supreme]

Wow. Amazing. Would've bought this in a heartbeat, but I can't stand it when they paint the wood

[@julianthesmooshyhusky8976]

Mayones made a dingwall? I wonder if Sheldon is calling his lawyer

[@trance9158]

For what? The body style is not the same neither are the specs.

[@Thurgor_Supreme]

The guitar industry has been down this road. Its weird, but the only thing you can copyright is the headstock

[@NicholasANappiNick]

❤

[@gustavomazonave8536]

Competition. People want 37" multiscale but Dingwall are ridiculous expensive for what they are. I liked it, its different, like a Superstrat to the original strat

[@julianthesmooshyhusky8976]

@@gustavomazonave8536 truth I have no idea how even their secondhand Chinese models are so expensive. They’re like the only instruments from continental Asia that don’t depreciate like crazy

[@veryniceindeed]

headstock kills the design

[@nickopeters]

That sounds fair enough, but it might be the case that the small size and tapering shape of the headstock was to minimize its tipping-moment on that long of a neck, especially without also making the body heavier, which can be inconvenient.

[@TenFalconsMusic]

*A work of art compared to the Sire (Gumby) headstocks.*

[@TheAnderon666]

Love MAYONES basses but this does nothing for me. Sounds average and looks horrible.

[@episivan]

For metal players will be happy😅
