I was rather hoping you wouldn’t say <40mm. Now I’m in trouble 😬

Less than 40mm, yes I've said it. 😁 haha.

Open to offers but no trades.

Great beach, and I could meet you half way.

I'm a good at packaging basses too, lots of practice.

The pictures don't do it justice the finish is impeccable.

The nut is 1.5 inches

I'm making space for a new project, so this amazing and very special custom Mike Lull Bass has to go. It was built in 2019 and I bought it directly from Mike Lull.

This is a very light 3.2kg, short scale P bass with a trans black finish (wood grain visible) on the body, and maple neck and fretboard.

Perfect condition. 

I have two Mono Vertigo Bass gig bags to sell.

£100 each + postage

• Outside, the water-resistant Sharkskin
• The patented Headlock design provides a level of protection worthy of the finest instruments
• BUILT TO LAST
• Rock solid, industrial webbing handles
• 100% animal free

I'm looking for a sale only but I'm open to offers.

I have to trim the herd again, so sadly this demon of a bass has to go.

GLWTS, I have a fretless one of these and I love it.

Well, my initial view of the Miezo is that it's excellent. A little heavier than I thought (but not heavy at all), but that's likely due to the Ash wood choice, I'm sure there are lighter options. The strap buttons are well placed and it sits nicely. The pickup sounds really good particularly with the gain up. I have a little bit of setup to look at, just a subtle buzz on the E string, but I was probably going to change the strings anyway.

I think for the money it's a good option, remember there will be import duties to pay when bringing it in from Malaysia, but it was shipped DHL at no additional cost.

The Miezo

The Miezo is here!

I have literally just plugged it in and it has sustain for days. The Bartolini pickup sounds good, the action is low, great carry bag and the size means it's comfortable to play seated or standing. I'll have to try it out properly over the weekend.

The MUB Miezo should be landing tomorrow. Finally.

I should have said, the were some costs for the black finish, the ash body, maple fretboard and the dual coil, but it was all very reasonable.

With these basses you can almost ask for anything, and I was quite restrained in comparison to others I have seen.

Those are by far the prettiest, IMHO. Basic price seems reasonable for a custom build too.

Did you go for any extras?

Nope.

Well it's back in the spray booth, Maurizio found a fingerprint before shipping it. So it was stripped down and resprayed.

Should be en route in a week or so...

The Miezo is ready for shipping.

Based on the pictures, the quality looks outstanding.

Sweet. Did you specify the placement of the pickup? I estimate you could get three more on there if you try hard enough

No I left it to Maurizio's judgement, I figured he would know better than me.

Yes you could fit three in that space, which would be interesting and a bit Dingwall like...

Here's the spec. Decided to keep it simple. I have a vox plug headphone, so I'm not adding the headphone amp and I will be playing it at home most the time.

Miezo 4 16” scale 

Ash body

Black stain

Birdseye maple fingerboard

Bartolini single coil pickup

Small knobs, passive

Black hardware.

Some progress made.

The spec is changing to a dual coil pickup with coil tap switch to be added. (no single coil pickups available for 6 weeks)

Looks great - tell me more about the spec! I guess it’ll ‘sit’ further to your left than the wing? What electronics have you chosen?

The MÜB Miezo is coming on, looks like it's just the final coat and assembly.

I never play guitar, so it's time for this amazing guitar to go.

Its a Fender (Mexican) Baja Telecaster that has been converted to an Esquire Tele, with custom hand wound pickups from the Creamery  (https://www.creamery-pickups.co.uk).

The wiring follows Mike Eldred's (Fender custom shop) own specifications, but there is the paired neck pickup, switches and pickguard if you want to return it to standard.

In addition it comes with a hiscox hard case, to keep it safe, even though this guitar has never left the house.

Postage/courier available at your cost.

Looking forward to hearing about your bass @Grantd

I've been following them for a while, will yours have a headphone amp built in? 

In the current setup it won't but I can still add it. I have been considering adding one, it will add to the versitility when travelling. 

I was too impatient to wait for a Mayones, so opted for the Miezo.

But wait 6 months and it will be for sale here while I wait for a Mayones...stranger things have happened.

Is it weird that I have had a Wingbass, Stradi, Marleaux and I’m about to get a MUB…
