Müb Custom
Like No Other.
The Miezo.
'Miezo' means 'half' in Maurizio's Southern Italian dialect, and the Miezo is just that: half the size of a traditional bass. Two full octaves, starting from the 12th fret of a long scale bass, tuned accordingly. Travel instrument or a creative tool in your arsenal, Miezo just works.
One of the features that sets the Miezo apart is how it recreates the ergonomics of a standard bass. Body size, contours, contact points, balance: Miezo instantly feels right. What works on your full scale bass works on your Miezo and vice versa - seamlessly. Because the Miezo is designed with us bass players in mind. And just like every MüB it's made by the same people who make your custom MüB, with the same tools, parts, materials, passion, cult of personality and creative drive.
Miezo 16"
Miezo 18"
The Miezo is incredibly resonant, with bell-like clarity that's perfect for chords and arpeggio. Choose the 16" for maximum portability. Go with the 18" one for a more familiar string/fret feel, a more slap friendly instrument, and if you want to experiment with more open tuning. They both fit inside the same airline friendly gig bag. String it with your preferred brand, clip the excess and you're good to go.

For B1 tuning we recommend stringing your Miezo 18" with a .105 string gauge. The 16" scale will work well with a slightly heavier gauge, like a .120 or .125. Please don't exceed recommended gauge as that might damage the instrument and void the warranty.
