BLACK BOMB.A (FR)

Having released a mind-blowing EP, two intense full length albums, a live CD/DVD and having swallowed thousands miles on tour, the French Black Bomb.A finally received the respect it deserves. Their music mixes the density of metal, emergency of punk and pure energy of rock, spiced with catchy, melodic grooves and two complementing vocal lines. No mercy for the audience and no compromises for the gear - Black Bomb.A will blow your heads off with a set of Mayones custom axes.

BBA got in touch with Mayones via our French distributor, M.Y. Music, and after some detailed discussions about the specifications the musicians decided to go in for a full band endorsement, which covers 6 custom hand-made instruments: 4 Setius guitars and two Be-5 basses.

Etienne, band's bassplayer, ordered his basses with standard Amazaque body and 5 pieces Mahogany-Maple neck with Ebony fretboard and Acrylic block inlays. The instruments was powered with Aguilar OBP-3 preamp and MEC pickups: Jazz Bass for neck and MusicMan style for the bridge position.

"This Mayones BE is simply fantastic!" - claims Etienne - "Everything is superb: the craftsmanship and the finish is blameless, the inlays are splendid and the bass has such a nice balance! And the sound... nothing to say! With the Aguilar OBP-3 and MEC pickups sound is incredible and very rich. It's a real pleasure to play the instrument of such quality. Good job Mayones and thank you!"
