I couldn’t find the video but I posted before it’s in show us your bass. I think there’s only 2 people team husband and wife. That’s awesome considering when you search YouTube quite a bit of their instruments show up.

Quote from an interview with Dawid Dziewulski, owner of Mayones, about how the company got its name:

How did you come up with the name Mayones?

Mayones was the nickname of my father’s friend. My father worked with him before Mayones become officially as a company. The Gitary Mayones name officially was announced in June, 1982 and officially become company name.

Apparently, the guy put mayonnaise on every he ate.

I’m obviously not going to say you’re wrong @eric.kiser but in this case you’re sooooo wrong about the glory that is Fritessaus :sunglasses: :fries:

Yeah, I remember that. It was a tour through their “factory”. I love the stone top finish and stainless steel fingerboard combo.

There is very little information to be found when it comes to the history of the brand’s name. It is a somewhat common practice for guitar luthiers to call their wooden creations after their last name: Leo Fender, Paul Reed Smith and Orville Gibson to name a few. This was not the case with Mayones! Legend has it that in the early days of guitar production, before the brand was fully formed, Mr & Mrs Dziewulski colaborated with a friend nicknamed ‘Mayonnaise’ - simply because he loved adding this creamy sauce onto virtually everything he ate! Having no other ideas, they used the name as a temporary fix - and the rest is history. A light-hearted name that stuck and surely stands out on the market. Irresistible touch!

If I really wanted a specific bass, I could probably afford it, unless it’s a real antiquity or was owned by a famous player.
Right now, I’m fine with the ones I’ve got :blush:

And those are already above my skill level :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

The most memorable has to be the sanding process, lol.

Yep. The only bass that requires diamond polishing wheels for finishing.

No, no, no. Fritessaus is only a cheap substitute. It has to be real mayonnaise :grin:

Ok I’ll defer to the Dutch on this one :sunglasses:

Yeah. Frites are seriously amazing. That’s what I was talking about with Jörg above.

I thought the Belgians were responsible for this. I mean they happily say they are :rofl:

Maybe the Dutch Belgians?
