Mayones Ori Enji 5 Antique Black

The Mayones Ori Enji 5 gives modern bass tones a distinctly unique character

Clean lines, sharp angles and a design inspired by origami: the Mayones Ori Enji 5 Antique Black is certainly no ordinary five-string bass guitar. Behind its striking shape lies an instrument for bassists seeking greater control over their sound and playability. The multiscale fretboard, ranging from 34 to 37 inches, combines extra length for the low strings with a shorter scale at the high end. The Antique Black finish accentuates its distinctive character without detracting from the design.

From providing a solid foundation in a band to detailed, melodic parts: the three Mayones Velvetrone Grim VF pickups offer plenty of options for shaping your place in the mix. The six-way rotary switch lets you choose from various tone settings, while the Mayones Musashi Nitōryū preamp with a three-band EQ allows you to shape the lows, mids and highs. The push-pull volume control lets you switch between active and passive modes. The longer scale length on the bass side gives the low B string a tighter feel, ideal for both precise riffs and broad, foundational notes.

The ash body is paired with a wenge neck and a wenge fretboard with a 9.5-inch radius. It features 24 stainless steel frets, dot inlays, Graphtec Ratio tuners and a Mayones Kissaki aluminum V-Fret bridge. The design also caters to practicing on your own: a built-in headphone amp, aux input and headphone output let you play without an external amp and jam along to music. The internal power supply is rechargeable via USB-C, with an additional battery compartment for a 9V backup. This bass weighs 4.2 kilograms and comes with a soft case.

Are you looking for a five-string bass that is as thoughtfully designed as it looks? Give this Ori Enji 5 the space to shape your sound.
