- Page 2 Designed to bring musical ideas to life in the studio, perform reliably on stage, and support seamless practice at home or on the road, the ORI offers exceptional versatility and functionality. Mayones ORI is an extremely successful combination of the latest guitar design trends, carefully selected tonewoods, premium hardware, and the expertise of our skilled luthiers.
- Page 3 Body Contouring Our designers have ensured that the ORI bass is not only comfortable to play but also lightweight and imbued with its own unique character. In addition to a cutaway that facilitates access to the last frets, the body features multiple contouring planes on both the front and back, giving it a distinctive and striking appearance.

Graph Tech RATIO tuners The method for stringing the Graph Tech RATIO tuners is identical to that of modern bass tuners, as detailed in the Mayones Electric Bass Guitar user manual. What sets Graph Tech RATIO tuners apart is that each string has its own calibrated gear ratio. - Page 7 Kissaki bridge The Kissaki bridge has been specifically developed by Mayones for VFret instruments to provide an optimal adjustment range for each string, with a focus on 34–37 inch scale lengths. It features innovative three-dimensional adjustable saddle modules that allow for precise intonation tuning, adjustment of string height above the frets, and fine- tuning of string spacing.

- Page 14 Plate with two 1/8 inch inputs The presence of a stereo headphone amp onboard is a unique feature of your Mayones ORI bass. It includes PHONES output, and an extra stereo line input (AUX IN). That elevates the levels of instrument usability and allows one to play the bass with its true tone virtually anywhere, without disrup ng anyone's peace of mind.
- Page 15 OMTP, CTIA, or similar TRRS jack plugs are also not usable with ORI bass. Although a stereo headphone amp is a part of the instrument, one shall note that the ORI bass is not a stereophonic instrument. For that reason, both channels of the headphones (le and right) transmit the very same, monophonic pickup signal that is only split between the two channels of the headphone amp.
