I had the original, I liked it, but then I got that Aeros and it was like, "What Infinity?" I still think it was one of the best ones out there, although I don't think it's the most user friendly, as there's a lot of stuff to memorize.

Well, in light of learning you're a bus driver, your avatar makes a lot more sense, now.
Totally planned that job when I was in university during my music studies.
Should pop a bass in the back seat and practice altered scales in 6ths and 7ths between runs tomorrow.
Well, if you're gonna keep in the spirit of that avatar, you gotta practice bass face, too.Totally planned that job when I was in university during my music studies.

For @uglybassplayer idiots suck.
Your description led me to this:
If you hate it fine it you don’t fine
What you described I tried to in my limited understanding to make noise

Happy I could inspire this.
Very cool my friend.
I really dig the sounds you create.
Re: noise
That's what i love about "noise " .
You don't need to understand, its just pure self expression.
Fullfulilling the need to create.
Okay, I reached out to Maurizio about the string issue (the concern about being able to get strings for this thing 10 years from now). Here's the response...
"Actually both the Miezo and x3m work with standard strings. We use .125/.40 as our stabdard gauge. This allows tuning the shortest scale 16" Miezo to the B1 pitch equivalent to 12th fret if your standard bass. Using commin heavuer gauges like .130... .135 you can lower the tuning. A cystom gauge is only necessary if you want to go really low, like E1 or lower. But most of our clients don't need that. So, short answer - use standard string in the gauge you prefer."
It'll be a miracle if I don't pull the trigger on this by the end of the day.
I sent him a few more questions... I wanted to know which is more sustainy - mahogany or raintree, also wanted to know what raintree looked like. Wanted to know if the builtin headphone option was 1/4". Wanted to know the export fees. I just want to get the shorty with the headphone jack so I can go sit on a mountain somewhere and play bass.
What I can't figure out is, is this thing an octave higher, or not? Because that video you posted, it sounds pretty low. When I hear back, I'll post what he responded.
It'd be nice to have that, but then that brings back the issue of finding custom strings 10 years from now. Gotta think about this some more, I think tonight I'm gonna just play some basic stuff solely in my upper register and think about it.
There's also this, which Chris Stambaugh (maker of my fretless). These are nice, too, but pricier...

The wing just doesn't light my fire. I get that they are functionally the same thing, but I like what I like.
That's what I've been doing. The big difference is that the Miezo has a way deeper cutaway, and the pickup placement might be more optimal. The balance will be way different too, obviously.
