I hate Illinois nazis. Great work Mizio! Those PUs look KILLER on that beauty!!! I bet the chambered body just sounds killer and is a great sibling to the M1.
Cheers.
Looking amazing Miz! absolutely stunning... oh and beta tester UK reporting for duty
Thanks. It does. I'm in love with how it sounds unplugged. It's so resonant and articulated. I am now officially in love with chambers.

Told you so!.....
Glad we had our discussions.
Fantastic work, as always!
Suggestion. Since the motif is black/chrome accessories, consider black fret markers next time. Or maybe an ebony fretboard/ polished nickel fret markers.
Your building skills and concepts are evolving nicely. It's great that you check in with your TB brothers on your projects! We all enjoy a good show and you put on one of the best.
miziomix, congratulations on a great bass with a host of interesting features !
Could you please post a picture of the headstock back with the strings installed. Thanks

At the moment I can't post that picture due to a patent process that I'm discussing with layers. I'll do that as soon as they er... release me

I forgot to properly reply to Mr. Stumbo here
Thank you mate. I have truly enjoyed our talks and your suggestions are always interesting.Visually speaking Ebony is one of my fav woods. It's bold, radical, uncompromising. It can really sign off a build if the combo is right. Polished nickel markers are cool. And so is brass
That bass is absolutely mouth watering . . . stunning . . . gorgeous . . . etc. Great work Maurizio!
Stealth, thank you so much! JD, coming from you...with your gorgeous basses... it's overwhelming.
As soon as I can I'll upload sound clips and possibly a video of this Eldorado dude
These day I've been busy finalizing the specs for the next two builds. One is a 5er, the other a 4 with graphite/composite neck. The former will start as soon as some of the woods arrive - can't wait really. The future owner has gracefully given permission to post a thread here (Thanks H!) so you'll see something pretty soon.
The latter is in the hands of the graphite gods. I'm searching for someone who can make a neck with my specs....darn it's hard!

P-ups are wired.
The lace Aluma J are very powerful indeed. So much so that I'll have to lower them.
The overall sound is not far from what I heard unplugged. It's very full and deep, with an almost acoustic quality to it.
Slap comes out very snappy and articulated. Each note comes out very defined - especially very fast combinations. And I have rediscovered the beauty of V/V/T
These days are very busy...but I'll find time to adjust the p-ups height and do the final set up.
And it's time to move on to the next build

Hi there! it has been a few weeks since my last update...work...
Yesterday and today were devoted to the final set up. A few frets needed more work to get rid of some buzzing.
Hope you noticed my never-without tools: the magnifying glass - I know Stumbo... I know... - and, most importantly, The Red T-Shirt (TM)
It plays the key role of keeping the steel wool dust from getting stuck inside and around the p-ups. Of course a yellow one works just fine.
When the buzzing frets have surrendered a tiny drop of superglue seals the deal.
I'm left with making the knobs. For the time being I will use the nipples And will upload a sound clip soon.
I am very glad with how this one turned out. Very much a brother to the Mark1 yet so different in many ways.
In a few days I will start a new thread. It won't be the fiver fretless I mentioned earlier though.
Two U-J have been confirmed recently - a fiver and a four They're both very cool projects
The first thread will be the making of the Ü-J 5 Splated Maple - and what a Maple!!
So, the 5 fretless will have to wait a bit.
Thank you so much for following this build, for your kind words and priceless advices
