The Mayones Cali is one of the coolest instruments on the planet — a compact, travel-ready bass that still delivers the unmistakable Mayones feel, tone, and craftsmanship. Half the size but absolutely full-scale in attitude, the Cali takes the same boutique philosophy as the Caledonius line and distills it into something effortless to grab, inspiring to play, and shockingly versatile.
This one features a gorgeous 3A Eye Poplar top over Black Limba, giving it a richer low-end response and a more organic, open midrange character. The 11-ply neck (maple, mahogany, wenge, amazakoe) paired with a smooth Pau Ferro fretboard keeps everything fast, stable, and lively, while the neck-through construction and matte finish make the entire instrument feel connected, resonant, and incredibly comfortable.
What really sets the Cali apart is its built-in flexibility: the Mayones Musashi Nitōryū preamp with 3-band EQ, Velvetrone Noble pickup, USB-C internal power, and the killer headphone amp + AUX input. Plug in your phone, grab your headphones, and you’ve got a full practice rig anywhere — studio, couch, hotel, backstage, wherever. No extra gear, no setup, no excuses.
Handbuilt in Gdańsk using top-tier materials (including reclaimed tonewood offcuts from full-size builds), the Cali remains one of Mayones’ most limited and unique creations. Compact, expressive, beautifully made, and genuinely addictive to play — this is the travel bass that doesn’t feel like a compromise. It feels like a Mayones.
