The X3M. The Future Of Bass.

​

The X3M is a bass like you've never seen before: a huge tonal palette in a 6lbs design that fits inside its hand-carry gig bag. It can be ordered with as many as five different fretted and fretless necks, each with its own ideal tuning and unique voice. Think of it this way: 18" for one octave higher tuning, crystal clear sounding; 22.75" tenor, full, warm sounding low E; 25.5" perfect in-between scale; 27", baritone, low E, big and sweet sounding; 30" short scale bass, low B.  Growl and bark, melodic soloing, crystal clear arpeggio, chords - the X3M has it all. The X3M is also available with headstock, starting from 22.75" scale.
​
The X3M can be disassembled in two minutes flat and fits into its airline friendly gig bag. Locked strings and intonation ensure that the Airborne is ready to groove in a blink, as punchy and articulated as every MÜB. Those who don't travel much can choose to receive it fully assembled in a full size MüB bag.

X3M fits standard strings, no double ball end ones. 30" scale length gives you a tight low B, big lows, great snap and articulation.

The X3M comes with four strap buttons for increased playing comfort with any scale.

Neck buttons: The lower button pushes the first fret away from the player, ideal for slapping clear of the fretboard and  finger-style right at the p-up bridge. It also recreates more closely the feel of a long scale bass. The upper button brings the first fret closer, instead - perfect for those who like to play between p-ups, slap on the board and prefer a more compact feel.

Bridge buttons: These two allow you to fine tune the angle at which the X3M balances - more straight or more upward angle. They also slightly tilt the bass towards or away from you. The former increases playing comfort to your right wrist, the latter to the left one.
Custom officers are known to have sometimes not allowed allen keys inside a plane. We've heard that enough times to decide it needed to be fixed.
