Mohini Dey Gets Her First Mayones Signature Bass: The Comodous Svara 5
Mayones has announced a new signature instrument for Mohini Dey: The Comodous Svara 5. The company says it has created many basses for Dey over the past decade, but the Svara 5 is based on the first Comodous Custom it made for her.
“The Comodous Svara 5 takes the character, feel and key elements of that original bass and develops them into Mohini’s first official Mayones Signature model,” Mayones writes. “Together, we focused on what made that first Comodous so special and created an instrument that represents Mohini today – her sound, playing style and individual approach to the bass.”
The bass features neck-through construction with a nine-ply maple and mahogany neck, mahogany body wings, and a curly poplar top in a Jeans Purple finish. Its birdseye maple fingerboard holds 24 frets. For electronics, the Svara is fitted with Velvetrone Stark and Gallant pickups with an Aguilar OBP-3 preamp. It also has a built-in headphone amp and aux input for silent practice.
