    MUB Custom (Maurizio Uber Bass) -- A Masterpiece Removable Neck Hollowbody Travel Bass

    Hi there. This is Maurizio. James recently mentioned this thread and that some of you had questions about his bass and I thought I might chime in. First of all, it's good to be here on TB again, even just for a short reply. I started here, 16 years ago. Does time fly.... I was so green back...

    Über-Jay 5 Buckeye Burl

    Richard! Thank you so very much and welcome to the MüB family. I am glad the J5 Nemesis found a new home. Thank you also for making me read this thread again, after so many years.... I can't believe how much things have changed since I built this bass, commuting between a sub-rented space and...

    There's another storm brewing!

    Great to see this thread back. PJ you're are unstoppable! About the slipping saddles: I think you are correct in saying that the string break angle might be the reason for the saddles to move forward. That obviously cannot be fixed without a major modification. Moving the ball end anchor point...

    What's On Your Workbench?

    Hi there! It s been a while. Hope you're all well. I'm currently working on a number of basses... plus... settling in my new workshop. 'Tired' is an understatement. 'Happy' is another one. Two walnut bodied basses. One is a fretted G5. Still at woodwork stage. The neck is a one piece maple...

    Is your gear worth more than your car?

    I don t own a car. But with 12 custom basses and a classical guitar i should probably get a Porsche to beat that.

    The Official Short Scale Bass Club -- Part 4

    Thank you all for your kind words. Here's a picture of yours truly with his very own 30" MüB. The sound guy commented: Your bass sounds huge! Yeah... that's a 30" scale thing. So much for the short scale basses sounding thin thingy LOL

    The Official Short Scale Bass Club -- Part 4

    I have just finish this 30" scale MüB J4. She just needs strings and knobs then she's gone. I've received more short scale orders recently. Some are from clients who wouldn't have a problem playing a 35" scale bass. A sign that people start noticing the unique tonal character of a short scale...

    MüB Über-Jay 4. Meraki.

    Thank you Geoff. It's been a month. Time to get this thread going again. That crack/knot at the back needed a good mate. I had something from another billet, waiting for its time to shine. The large knot was first fully sealed with superglue plus some ebony dust where it was needed for...
