“…the multi-instrumentalist and bass virtuoso releases his own blast of existential funk.”
- Rolling Stone
MonoNeon is an American bassist and experimental musician from Memphis, Tennessee. He is known for his presence on YouTube playing bass guitar and being one of the last people to work with Prince. Thomas is a Grammy Award-winning artist, for his participation on the 2020 Nas album King's Disease. Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers has referred to Mono as “the greatest fucking electric bass player”.

MonoNeon has collaborated with artists such as Mavis Staples, George Clinton, Pete Rock, Ne-Yo, Mac Miller, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Ghost-Note, and more. Known for his otherworldly live show, MonoNeon has played Newport Jazz Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival, Summer Camp Music Festival, Melbourne International Jazz Festival, and more.
MONONEON’S SIGNATURE FENDER JAZZ BASS V
The MonoNeon Jazz Bass® V makes a statement – equal parts swagger and serious business. It features an alder body finished in an eye-popping neon yellow urethane finish, complemented by a neon orange painted headstock and pickguard.
“MonoNeon is one of the most-inventive bass players of this generation, and to honor him with a Fender® bass that encapsulates his unique style and vast talents is a privilege,” said Justin Norvell, EVP of Products at Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. “We worked closely with him to create a bass that not only visually represents the online persona we’ve come to know, but also embodies his funk-inspired, abstract and microtonal playing. From the eye-popping neon yellow and orange finish, to his Custom Fireball™ 5-String Humbucking Bass pickups and HiMass® bridge, this bass gives players endless tonal capabilities and robust low end with a growl.”
