Few things I need to mention: 1. Fender, the production on this is incredible. Love how you captured him as an artist and not just on the guitar. Well freaking done. 2. Fender, this bass looks sick. Great job on that. Nice change up to see 3. That drummer is ice cold. Killing back there.
Despite all of his “eccentricities” and quirks, this video shows that Mononeon extremely “normal.” He’s grounded, a family man. He’s not pretentious or overbearing. He’s a gentle spirit.
It's easier for some folks to grasp. Hey I mean Jacob Collier started out on the jazz double bass and eventually designed a guitar with 5 strings tuned in straight 5ths, guitar/bass guitar can be weird to approach even for the most solid musicians
The signature bass is stunning. This video explains what makes Mono Neon, Mono Neon: the parents, the grandmother. Great video, informative, enlightening, and enjoyable.
I missed your concert in New Zealand because of an operation. Still recovering but making it easy cause you play stuff and wear stuff that makes me happy. Don't ever loose your individuality, and remember the important things in life are family and friends. Love to you bro.
Mono is a INCREDIBLE talent. I always say, he sees notes as colors thats how he can play the way he does, without borders. What a way to celebrate him and his uniqueness. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is why Fender has the lead in todays musical world, they know how to speak to young artists, how to support them and giving them means to express themselves - even in an new product anouncement. Plus the guitars and basses are damn great! I love the video, love Mononeon! 🖤
I honestly adore so much of his wholesomeness, the guy just seems like you wanna give him a hug and how close he is with his family and they've supported him, and how much of things he's taken from them for inspiration as well as his own inspirations, he's just such a cool cat and is planes of existence beyond us while still here on earth, shine bright mono!
"There is a lot of love that is put into quilts" I didn't get it before but now it makes sense. Protection cloak via grandma. I can totally relate. Always interesting to hear why someone does something that may seem odd. Keep going Mono! :)
Love this Mono.. if felt like it wasn’t even a choice to incorporate your family like you had to because they are so much a part of your musical background and getting to this point.. you’re the dude
I love this profile. It really seems to get to the heart of who this cat is. Where he comes from. It’s amazing to see the love and support and musical foundation he grew up with and how it directly led him to who he is today. You can also see clearly -and his dad mentions it- how like many of the great funkateers, he’s simultaneously introverted and shy while also being audacious.
MonoNeon is a very unique and gifted bass player. That has bought a whole new sound dimension of funk and creative art to the bass. Congratulations MonoNeon on your Fender signature bass!!! 🎸 👏🏾👏🏾
Grandma is so proud she's beaming. George Clinton is narrating your life story, that's amazing 🤩
The cool thing about this family is that they don't need a Christmas tree. They just ask Mono to wear his favorite outfit.
Unlike every other video of a signature instrument drop that focus on the artist, Mono focused on the folks that got him there.
that moment with Mono and his dad 🥲 absolute legends!
what a soft spoken oddball neo is. he must get that lost puppy reaction from girls.

Absolutely...everything you said!
I believe that’s Mike Mitchell (Blac Dynamite) on drums✨
Nah, naah if there is no mono neon signature sock coming with the bass I’m not buying it! The tone isin the sock!
4. One of Godfather of Funk, George Clinton as narrator/MC.
Looks like Ronald McDonalds bass
Despite all of his “eccentricities” and quirks, this video shows that Mononeon extremely “normal.” He’s grounded, a family man. He’s not pretentious or overbearing. He’s a gentle spirit.
Those bass effects is crazy work !!!
Fender and family values--what a winning combination!
He’s hipping the next generation to Dadaism dope
Love this celebration of our hero MonoNeon especially with his core people. 🙏🏿❤️🔥💪🏿👊🏿
I absolutely love how he jams with his grandma, what a beautiful soul which shines through in the music
Nana's make the world go round man. It's physics.
What up GJ?! Glad you’re a fan of our Memphis made bass man!
That's racist😉
The drummer is out of this world. Wow.
You can’t help but love this man and his entire family. This has to be the highest quality video fender has ever produced
Hands down, the best promo for an instrument and artist ever!!!! 🙏🏿
I love the honesty, the vulnerability, the authenticity in this. And the exceptional bass playing, of course.
What a distinguished gentleman 🥂🥂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Congrats!!! VERY PROUD OF YOU!!!!
I'm still blown away when people play like Jimmy. It's a rare breed for sure. Learning it all upside down and backwards.
It's easier for some folks to grasp. Hey I mean Jacob Collier started out on the jazz double bass and eventually designed a guitar with 5 strings tuned in straight 5ths, guitar/bass guitar can be weird to approach even for the most solid musicians
Best thing on the internet.
So nice of Mr Clinton to give his stamp of approval. Nice and original I love it...
Respect and much love to you.
Excellent content and and interesting story- thanks.
The signature bass is stunning. This video explains what makes Mono Neon, Mono Neon: the parents, the grandmother. Great video, informative, enlightening, and enjoyable.
Mono!!!!! Dooooope G!!!!!Congrats Mane!!!
Go mono neon go funkalicious baby!
This is amazing man Grampa Clinton still guiding us to the next funk prophets! Love you Mono and always love to see you do your thang! 🙏🏽💕
You're such a Good Soul My Man !
It's Grandma knitting 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Dope, I'm a laborer. Glad to see We were an inspiration for the color.
Love the bass.
🇦🇬✊🏾🇵🇷
That was one of my favorite parts, the construction worker shout out shows a level of class that even the "greatest" artists don't usually possess
OMG! That bass is effin gorgeous!
MonoNeon and George Clinton? What could be better? I love this!
I have years of joy because he's getting his flowers while he can smell them! Oven been watching him since 2012 and haven't stopped!
We bass players are often weird, but Mono you are our new king! All hail the Neon!
Wow, I love that bass!!!
Watching this does something good for my heart.
A Genius! Mr. Bean on bass😊
Well this was interesting. Glad I clicked it.
This was a beautiful production
I missed your concert in New Zealand because of an operation. Still recovering but making it easy cause you play stuff and wear stuff that makes me happy. Don't ever loose your individuality, and remember the important things in life are family and friends. Love to you bro.
Congratulations !
8 years ago I never woulda thought you’d get your own bass. My brother moving up in the world. Well deserved my man!!!
This is a very wholesome piece! Well done
Mono is a INCREDIBLE talent. I always say, he sees notes as colors thats how he can play the way he does, without borders. What a way to celebrate him and his uniqueness. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
7:10 those are beautiful syncopations on snare. Bass sounds very voicy. Lovely.
Best advertisement ever made
Very well deserved 👏 👍 👌 🙌 ❤
Mono’s vocal style makes sense, now. Very cool. Strong roots.
I've never heard of MonoNeon until this popped into my feed... I nominate this as officially the best video on RUclips ever!
Excellent video, great news! Well deserved MN!
nice instrument serving the music... awsome jam!!
Out of this world good.
The past creates the present...beautiful MonoNeon!
absolutely unique style
So so cute. Really beautiful thank u
I can see why Prince had this young brother come up to Paisley Park. Mono is Awesome.
Presumably the Fender sock comes in the case. Nice touch.
What a completely interesting guy!
This video warms my heart ❤
i am especially impressed with Mr. Neon's transcribing of human speech into music which he then plays on his bass along with the original speeches
Yellow rocks ❤
Great to see this brother be recognized.
This is why Fender has the lead in todays musical world, they know how to speak to young artists, how to support them and giving them means to express themselves - even in an new product anouncement. Plus the guitars and basses are damn great! I love the video, love Mononeon! 🖤
Simply put: I needed this
Congratulations Brotha
I love your signature bass!
i do love the high viz, those construction vests are awesome
Love it Mono... Keep the funk up.
Man i really appreciate this, i'm not into bass but Mononeon inspires me just by daring to be himself.
So proud of you Mon😮
Love seeing the family and how proud they are of his achievements
I wasn’t familiar with MonoNeon’s playing before this video. Really tasteful, syncopated, and muted style.
Great player.
What a sweet dude. Good family. Straight up killer on dat bass tho!
This damn video made me tear up.
out of all short docs this one is amazing Mono 😊😊😊❤❤❤
DOPE!!! GREAT !! A REAL BROTHERMAN WITH THE FUTURE COMIN DOWN THROUGH THE SPIRIT OF THE UNIVERSE, BLESSINGS AND LOVE!!! ROCK ON MONO!!!! SOUL POWER!!
Congrats MonoNeon....on your success...you're a great bass player,..from one to another ....It's our time . !!!!

Mono's Mama glasses are stylish as her son's. Granny is amazing!! Lovable family!!
His personality really leaks into his sound. It's so incredible ! Literally couldnt stop smiling throughout the video. What a gem !!
This dude is on. Fire. And. He being. Himself
I love this guy
What a beautiful human being. So glad he also worked with Prince 😌🙏🏾🌹
Hello to mum and Grandma from Scotland xx
Love this Mono.. if felt like it wasn’t even a choice to incorporate your family like you had to because they are so much a part of your musical background and getting to this point.. you’re the dude
In a dark gloomy world of today Mono is sunshine ☀️
Beautiful piece!👍👏
I love this profile. It really seems to get to the heart of who this cat is. Where he comes from. It’s amazing to see the love and support and musical foundation he grew up with and how it directly led him to who he is today.

Holy cow i love this man and his whole family! what gifts they are to each other
Pure amazing art
This is a funktastic mini documentary. Blessed 🙌 😇
I just learned of hi, through this video. Wow. Love the explanation. Life, as art. Dada. My full respect.
Sick grooves too.
I love the colors of the basses.. something different than the traditional everyday colors
Props to Fender, this is a cool ass bass with a cool ass promo vid.
You are one delightfully weird and wonderful brother. My dad used to hang with Ron Carter.
Bestest crew!!
Awesome all around 👍👍👍
I actually discovered mono neon playing with knowers and I have to say his style is so bad ass. He is one of my all time favorite bass players.
His clothing looks incredibly comfortable
MonoNeon is a very unique and gifted bass player. That has bought a whole new sound dimension of funk and creative art to the bass. Congratulations MonoNeon on your Fender signature bass!!! 🎸 👏🏾👏🏾
Congrats!!!!!
