Description

The Mayones Patriot 5 is a breathtaking example of modern bass craftsmanship — a boutique instrument designed for players who demand premium tone, elite playability, and striking aesthetics in equal measure. Handcrafted in Poland with meticulous attention to detail, this Patriot 5 in Trans Natural Black Gloss is a bold statement piece, blending cutting-edge innovation with timeless woods and impeccable construction.

Built with a neck-thru-body design, the Patriot 5 offers exceptional sustain and resonance, allowing every note to ring with clarity and authority. The 9-ply Maple-Mahogany neck is reinforced with two graphite rods for maximum stability, paired with a sleek Ebony fretboard that provides a fast, articulate playing surface. The 20" radius offers a comfortable, modern feel across all 5 strings, while Ferd Wagner nickel silver frets deliver smooth playability and precision. Luminlay Super Blue side dots ensure that visibility is never an issue, even on the darkest stages.

Visually, this Patriot 5 is simply stunning. The 4A Eye Poplar top features a captivating Trans Natural Black Burst Gloss finish, perfectly complementing the natural Swamp Ash body. The rear of the body and neck are finished in Trans Natural Gloss, allowing the beautiful wood grain to shine through while maintaining a sleek, modern look. The matching Trans Natural Black Burst Gloss headstock ties the entire aesthetic together with elegance and edge.

Tonally, this bass is built to handle anything. Outfitted with a pair of Nordstrand Big Single 5 pickups in a soapbar configuration, the Patriot 5 delivers an incredibly dynamic range — from fat, growling lows to punchy, articulate mids and crisp highs. The onboard Darkglass Tone Capsule preamp expands your tonal palette even further, with controls for volume (push/pull active-passive), balance, hi-mids, mids, and bass, giving you powerful flexibility right at your fingertips. A Switchcraft jack and USB-C outlet ensure reliable connectivity on any stage or in the studio.

Hardware is top-shelf throughout, with a Mayones X25 two-piece bridge providing rock-solid stability and perfect intonation. Schaller M4 tuners in a 3+2 configuration keep tuning precise and smooth, while Schaller Security Locks add peace of mind for gigging players.

At 8 lbs 9 oz, this bass balances comfortably whether you’re on stage, in the studio, or practicing at home. It ships in a rugged Hiscox Case for ultimate protection.

The Mayones Patriot 5 is more than just an instrument — it’s an extension of the player, built for those who seek extraordinary tone, peerless build quality, and visual artistry that turns heads. For modern bassists who demand nothing less than the best, the Patriot 5 delivers in every possible way.
