Mayones Cali HL 5 Henrik Linder Signature Gothic Black

The Mayones Cali HL 5 turns a compact bass into a new playing field

A five-string bass that invites you to think outside established patterns: the Mayones Cali HL 5 Henrik Linder Signature in Gothic Black is the result of a collaboration with the bassist of Dirty Loops. The compact Cali design feels different from a conventional bass and casts melodies, chord voicings, and rhythmic ideas in a new light. With its understated black finish, this is the HL version for those who prefer the experimental character of the instrument to speak through their playing rather than its color.

The Velvetrone Double Noble HL pickup developed for Henrik forms the sonic heart of the signature series. The Velvetrone Musashi preamp with a three-band EQ provides room to adjust the balance between low, mid, and high frequencies to suit your hands and amplifier. Furthermore, the series/parallel switch allows you to alter the pickup's response. This is interesting when alternating between foundational bass lines and more pronounced parts where every note needs to be clearly audible. The built-in headphone amplifier and aux input make practicing without an external amplifier possible.

The Cali HL 5 features a neck-through construction with an ebony fretboard. The Mayones X2 two-piece bridge and Mayones/Schaller Mini tuners are consistent with the well-thought-out equipment, while the compact build offers space to approach your playing in a different way. The electronics combine the Musashi preamp with a series/parallel switch and a headphone amplifier. This Gothic Black model is offered as a pre-order, with a Mayones Hybrid Case included as part of the stated equipment.
