Aptly named after one of the best slap artists around, the "Slap Machine" will leave you in awe! Wojtek Pilichowski is world renowned for his slap technique. He has been turning heads in Europe for decades with some of the most creative and musical slap bass playing on the planet. He's clearly a master of his craft, but also necessitates just the right tool for the job. Enter the newest rendition of his signature Pi bass. And this one, like all of it's predecessors, just absolutely smokes! Slapping on it is truly effortless. The strings bounce off the fretboard and provide tight and punchy lows with crisp and sizzling highs. Doing Victor Wooten-style double-thumb slap and pop licks become a breeze on a bass like this. It literally brings out abilities you may not have even known you had. Especially for someone who may not be a master at slap bass, this will open up a ton of doors simply by making the physical part of playing slap bass extremely easy. The slap tone is to die for and the playability is unparalleled. The bass is, by no means, a one-trick pony and sounds great with fingerstyle and pick playing as well. But the Aguilar pickups and Aguilar preamp are open, airy, and bright, to help your slaps and pops slice through any mix, whether you're taking the lead or holding down the groove. The detuner on the E string is also really nice for when you need a bit of an extended range, but still prefer to have a 4-string bass as your go-to axe.

This bass is no longer in production and is the last Pi signature model that Mayones will make, so grab it while you can! This is sure to be a highly sought after signature model.
