Fender MonoNeon Jazz V: www.fender.com/en-US/electric...
Hey Everyone! Today we're taking a brief reprieve from mods to bring you one of the most anticipated reviews of 2022, the Fender MonoNeon Signature Jazz Bass V. This bass is very unique with its eye popping finish, painted pickguard, gold hardware, and the fat Firecracker humbuckers paired to Fender's Player Plus 3 band 18v preamp. There's a lot to like about the new Fender MonoNeon Jazz V, but is there enough to justify the $1549 price tag for this Made in Mexico Fender? Let's find out!
This bass and all my other basses with rounds are strung with SIT Foundation Nickel Plated Stainless Steel 45-105(125) unless otherwise noted. Check them out at sitstrings.com/

Three positives: you'll never lose it on stage, no one will ever steal it, you can use it to signal to passing helicopters or spacecraft if you are stuck in a snowdrift coming back from a gig. A high vis vest offers much of the same functionality, though.

As an engineer in Memphis, I can say that I work with a bada** bass player who had a "pre-release" of this bass given to him by Neon, as they go back to when Mono was little. This bass sounds AMAZING. It definitely has a unique sound that is not offensive in the least bit. It hits all the sweet spots you expect a Fender to hit. The stickers and sock are a nice touch. I am proud to see another Memphian doing so well and hope that this line gets some positive spotlight for him! Clean, Mane, it's clean!

Thumbs up just for that intro gag. You keep up the antics, Lobster, you're always cracking me up. Also, thanks for all your informative and diligent work. ;)
I was really curious about this bass since I first saw it. Thanks for the review!!
Quite the unique/cool sounding/looking jazz bass!! A bass player will surely be noticed on stage with one of these.
I like it, even though I can see how someone would think it’s ugly. The tone is the real deal. I’d love to have a jazz bass with this pup configuration.
Thank you for another fun and informative review :)
This is what was in the case in Pulp Fiction.
Sounds great. Looks like it was designed by a crossing guard. Seems like Fender will have a home run with these is they start offering some alternative colors.
Very cool! - I saw Bully's review, - So far I can't wait to get my hands on one, mostly because the colors will annoy most of my band-mates!
your videos are not only useful, but they are also made in an exceptional way, congratulations for your skills and for your irony, I have been following you for a long time and I never miss a video, I wanted to thank you because it is thanks to people like you if my passion for bass continues to grow. a kiss from Italy ❤️

Lobster so happy to see all the content you have been putting out lately! I missed not seeing a lot of videos but we do understand what you had going on, my Ms kitty girl passed away on my birthday last Thursday, was not a good day for me , can’t wait for the next mod video
My friend got this bass a couple months ago and loves it. Sounds fantastic on stage…can’t wait for the opportunity to grab it from him and play it!
The weight alone is a deal breaker for me, but big mono fan and it's obviously a great sounding instrument.
I have one of the older Custom Modified satin models. I love the pickups but I changed the wiring to V, B, T. I also installed (for each pickup) a 3 way Series. Parallel. and single coil. Mine is satin black (I have to say that I prefer the black) and I put a white pearl pickguard. I also got a Squire 70s Jazz neck, maple maple with pearl block and binding. A little heavy but when gigging I use a 5" leather strap made out of belt leather so the weight isn't as bad as it might. (4 hours are easy) I use it mostly for recording. Very versatile and solid in any coil setting. Sound like this one but Mine a little more versatile. Also completely passive. OOPS.... mine is a 4 string.
Hey lobster nice to see you review a fender product after that whole gretsch humbucker situation....did fender ever answer you on that?
Great bass ... zhos pickups are killer!!! And I dig your playing, Lobster!!! I bought a mexican made Mustang JMJ in February for a bit more than thousand bucks ... now they sell it for about 1400! Seems the war and the accompanying economical impacts led to this! So your estimation of 1200 bucks seems quite realistic! The 1550 dollar-price-tag might be the consequence of all that shit that´s going on!

after watching this i still want a mononeon bass, but it gave me an idea you might consider.. you could do a video series that is a top five (or ten depending on your patience 😅) 5 claw basses at different price points 500-1000* 1000-1500* 1500-2000* 2000-2500 *just under so that the price tiers make sense* it could be a fun video, would be crazy informative with you doing it, and you could even do honorable mentions that would allow you to say other basses, reasons for not being on the list could be mods and mention mods you might do. this would obviously be a time consuming series, but it would allow you to showcase your knowledge, give you a massive boost in views as these videos ALWAYS get crazy views, and it might be a way to get your hands on some killer basses and maybe even ones youve never really played before

Super clean bass. I'd love more made in Mexico 5 strings
It actually sounds really nice. I like it. Crazy that they don't include a passive tone control.
I love this bass, sonically and visually. It's Jazz Bass on steroids with the humbucking pickups. Too bad I can't afford one yet.
Very inspiring _iT makes a Player want to “ Boldly go where no Player has gone before “
You know what...i always found b strings on mexican 5 string jazzes in particular quite bad for definition but as soon as you started playing that i said to myself "this jazz fin sings" sounds gorgeous
Those pickups sounds killer! It would be interesting to hear how they sound in parallel though. They could easily have fitted push-pull pots for series/parallel or DPDT-switches for serial/parallel/single-coil, especially considering the price!

I have a guitar that I put Seymour Duncan P-rails in with the rings that have 3 way switching. The guitar has a 5 way fender switch. With over 25 combinations guess how many are used? Five. Yes ,five from the five way Fender type switch. This does not even cover blending in the peizo with those pickups.

This is a pretty close competitor to the lakland 55-02 and sire v10dx which go for 1700 or more. The price is within market spec imo. I wish those pickups were on my V10.
Thanks for your work mate. If you have 1 minute… how do you compare these pickup to the one found on G&L ‘s (2500)? Have a good next one.
That is the most hilarious description
For being such a unique signature bass, I agree that most of these will probably end up as collectors items and not really gigged as much in a live setting. It is so different that I really do see Fender selling a ton of these. I find it also incredibly hilarious that they come with stickers and his signature sock that he always has over the headstock.

That bass it is outlandish... but not as outlandish as Mono Neon himself and the way he plays!!!
Hi Lobster, great review! I'm a happy owner of the MonoNeon bass and I love the sound of it. I replaced the head tuners with light ones from Sandberg, so the bass is better weight balanced now. What do think, could the Lusithands you recently installed into your SIre (the one with the GR900 preamp) fit to my bass?
I’ve played this twice in Memphis (my luck to be right near Mono’s home base) so of course the GC had it. Each time I play it, the neck is super comfortable and the tones are just fantastic…but I always put it back. Something always nags me to think there might be a model eventually that has those pickups and neck that will truly be “home”for myself. But for a Mono fan or someone who has the cash to spare, it’s a great sounding and feeling bass coming their way! I’ve heard it’s neck was based on his Lakland he played before the sponsorship (why they never offered him a bass is beyond me) so it almost made me want to check out some Skylines!

It's super light too (the ultralite models, not the ones with base plate, those are still heavy). I put Hipshots even on my cheap basses, it's that good.
Honestly I feel like almost every artist signature bass is intended more as a collector's item than as a gigging instrument. That said, I have to agree on the price. I've owned (and in most cases returned or sold) a handful of MIM Fenders and they *always* have build quality issues. As much as I like many things about this bass (including the outrageous colors), I just could never justify spending so much on a MIM Fender. This is getting into the price range of the American Professional line. (Granted, prices on all instruments have really jumped in the past year.)

I quit bass for about 10 years cuz I had PTSD from my first wife dying in her late 20s. I want to start playing again, and I need some inspiration. Would you recommend spending an extra few hundred bucks for an American professional II jazz bass V? I honestly don't really care about active electronics. I already have a 4 string MIM fender P/J that was modded in 2010 with Aguilar OPB3 18V, Nordstrand pickups, and all new pots/wiring, wooley mammoth ivory nut, and sanded fretboard with new frets. Unfortunately the bass now needs work as the pots sound super crackley and the neck is a little messed up. I also had a 2005 American standard jazz bass that I unfortunately had to get rid of. It sounded amazing through my tube SVT (another piece of equipment that I had to part with). I also miss my pre-gibson Tobias Growler. That thing was sick.

@Room 34 / Scott Anderson @twice-vehk thanks for your guys' input. I'll be ready to pull the trigger on this pretty soon. It could be that I didn't see a good demo, but it seems the V-MOD II pickups on these American Pro II Jazz V basses are a little muddy on the E and B strings. Do you agree? Are those vintage ultra noiseless pickups any brighter? To me, it's worth the extra $230 if that's the case. That brings my price up to over $2130. Now here's my dilemma: Do I get the American Pro II Jazz V with upgraded pickups (either Fender vintage ultra noiseless, or possibly Aguilar, Barts, or Nordstrands), or do I get one of these USA Geddy Lee 4 string Jazz basses (no pickup upgrade required)? The USA Geddy Lee bass seems like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as I guess the latest model only got a limited run of 100 units (but it's only 4 string)... 🤔

I don’t think the price is off. If they made sure these were all under 10lbs and had better tuners, it would cost a lot more. As long as the tuners hold tune and don’t slip, I don’t see the problem . Personally the weight and the color would keep me from buying one. If they are successful, maybe Fender will offer another finish option that’s more traditional next go round. A white pearl pickguard to match the inlays and a plain or matching yellow headstock would tone it down some.
I would like to see these pickups on a more standard Jazz bass plus , I have a 5 string J bass plus and I like it . I wouldn't buy this one unless I was colorblind though. What do you think is better this Fender preamp or the Sire?
Better tuners and "normal" finish (black would go great with the maple board) and I'd dig.

Being MIM doesn't automatically make it inferior. This bass would cost probably twice as much if it was made in the American factory a short distance away and I doubt it would sound twice as good. I recently picked up a player P-bass and took it to my luthier who said it was "fantastic!" All we'll do is upgrade the pick-ups but I like what's on them already. This luthier prefers to work on high end basses but he admitted he's gotten custom boutiques in his shop with issues so paying more for American or boutique is not an automatic indication you'll get something far superior or flawless. He sung the praises of my P-bass and said I got a "good one."
