Müb Custom
Like No Other.
One Of A Kind.
In here you'll find instruments that are pretty unique. That's quite a feat for a MüB. Still, sometimes we build one instrument on a hunch or an order takes an unexpected turn and we found ourselves staring at a very unique instrument both aesthetically and tone-wise. We don't do this often or regularly. So, if you see something you like, go ahead and grab it. We might never build it again.
G5 Samarkand 2013-2023 $4600
I built the original G5 Samarkand in 2013. Last year I had the opportunity to buy it back and decided to upgrade it to the highest level of craft and creativity we have achieved in the ten years since it sold. The bass was disassembled, each part sanded back to bare wood, reshaped, modified, upgraded. We designed custom parts specifically for the Samarkand, envisioned creative solutions when we had to. The Samarkand is now at the very pinnacle of what we can offer and I am proud - albeit a bit sad - to offer it to you. yet again.

This bass sound tight, articulate, very slightly compressed, with big lows, even mids and a sparkling top end. It's a versatile, expressive instrument. We have yet to find a combination of playing style and preamp setting that didn't sound great. We can swap preamp if desired.
ps: A coil tap would make this bass perfect.
