The Miezo
Miezo 18" (576 x 290mm)
Miezo 16" (550 x 290mm)
Miezo means 'half' in Maurizio's Southern Italian dialect, and the Miezo is just that: half the size of a traditional bass. Two full octaves, starting from the 12th fret of a long scale bass, tuned accordingly. Unlike other comparable instruments, Miezo recreates the ergonomics of a standard bass. Body size, contact points, balance: what works on your full scale bass works on your Miezo and vice versa - seamlessly. Miezo is incredibly resonant, with bell-like clarity that's perfect for chords, solo, arpeggio, and it fits inside its airline friendly gig bag. Travel instrument or a creative tool in your arsenal, Miezo just works.
String it with your preferred brand, clip the excess or with a set of MüB-E - our custom strings for low E tuning.
The Miezo LowE
1/13
Miezo LowE (576 x 290mm)
The Miezo so many have asked for: one with a truly great sounding low E string. Years spent building string instruments in eleven different scale lengths gave us the necessary insights to choose the best balance between tone and size. The Miezo LowE features a 22.75" scale length and it can be strung with standard strings.
Its design recreates the ergonomics you're familiar with. So, what works on your full scale bass works on your Miezo and vice versa. Take it to a gig and watch jaws drop as you hit the audience with a thick, deep, well defined low E. It's priceless. Trust me, I've tried (Maurizio here).
Pretty as it is, Miezo starts at a pretty price point too. We want to make it perfect for you. If you can't afford it, how is that perfect?
