In early 2009 Yaron had a chance to try our Jabba 5 Custom during a show with Jarek Smietana. During that short period he couldn't resist its beauty and totally fell in love with it...
I was given a Jabba Custom 5 strings Bass by Mayones for a try on one of my many gigs with Jarek Smietana in Poland.
I fell in love with the Bass during the gig and at the end I told Jarek: “This Bass doesn’t go back to Mayones….This Bass goes with me to London!”
 The Jabba Custom 5 Bass is a wonderful instrument. It has a deep, round and fat sound. The sound I like so much. It is a rich and powerful sound.
It feels great to play the Jabba Custom 5. The neck is smooth and very easy to play. It looks great too…..
Well…..I love it!
And they lived happily ever after...
