NUMP (D)

Brute and catchy riffs, harmonic parts and melodious, powerful vocals – these are the main ingredients Nump produce their music with. Since every band member adds a different part to the overall impression, there’s no lack of influences. A mixture of classic rock bands such as Pink Floyd or Genesis, bands like Staind as well as Creed and progressive metal is the result.

 

 

 

 

NUMP has released two LP so far - "Sigh of relief" (2006) and "Reflections" (2009), and received very warm reception from the German music press for both albums.

Both band guitarist, Sebastian and Thorsten, are endorsing our company playing two customised Mayones guitars. 7-stringed Regius owned by Sebastian comes in transparent graphite black color (gloss finish) and Seymour Duncan Invader pickups splitted into single-coils by a 5-way switch. The guitar features also standard knobs on the fingerboard and Q-parts Cross knobs. Black hardware.

"It all started at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt in March 2006" - comments Sebastian. "After being really disappointed by most of the guitars I tried out there, I just wanted to get back into my car and drive home. But then I coincidently passed by the stand of Mayones guitars with it's big picture of Daniel Gildenlow (Pain of Salvation). I tried out one of the 7-string Gildenlow's Regius Elements guitars and it really was love at first sight. In fact I've never played such a beautiful and smooth guitar before. I knew that I just needed such a Mayones Regius guitar for myself!"

"When I came home I noticed on their website that Mayones is always looking for musicians to endorse, so I decided to apply. I was really surprised when Piotr - their artist relations manager - sent me his positive reply. I just told him my needs and the customized guitar was built within two months".

"It was just like christmas when I received the UPS package containing my first personalized guitar. The transparent graphite black color with black hardware made the guitar look very precious. The Mayones' look is so unique and beautiful, I really love what I got there. I plugged in the guitar immediately and started playing to see how this instrument behaves in my hands. From the first strike I liked the Regius' playability. This guitar feels so comfortable, it's just amazing. The Seymour Duncan humbuckers combined with a 5-way coil-split deliver all types of sounds: from hard 'n' heavy over a warm, jazzy tone, to a funky sound. Now I really have to improve my guitar skills to get all out of this versatile instrument."

"The guitar already accompanied me at several shows and, well, what should I say? It just rocks! It's extremely reliable, always stays in tune and it just sounds excellent. After playing about four 7-string guitars I've finally found the guitar I always wanted. Thank you, Mayones for this beautiful instrument!"
