IF Design Awards Winner

Meum is a project which merges our passions, thanks to which we’ve built something new and exceptional. A shake-up of tradition, innovation, music, and design that resulted in a unique piece that has no gradients.

Just 2.9 kg lightweight

The concept, driven by a balance between diagonals and parallelisms, birthed a charming and ergonomic design, shaping up a lightweight instrument of just ~2.9 kg. It resulted in a full solid body with a wise choice of excellent quality materials, that looks and feels fantastic.

Ergonomy

Taking inspiration from industrial design trends, the Meum electric bass guitar is a perfect blend of proportions, balanced diagonals, and parallelism. It’s effortless to handle thanks to its lightweight, and the edges are in the right spots, giving an innovative spin to the traditional shape.

Pickups

The pickups, custom-made by Consolini, have a unique diagonal design and generate the aggressive sounds you aim for thanks to the custom bobbin height and length, wound on 8mm AINiCo magnet rods. The superior quality screening allows us not to ground the strings, obtaining the same signal to noise ratio of a grounded bass guitar. The actual bass is passive with VVT controls, for super-easy use.

Accessories Components

Because we pay great attention to details, the triangular knobs are custom-designed, as well as the leads and strap buttons with the ultimate goal to create a cohesive style. The Meum guitar is equipped with magnetic lid covers (back and front) to provide easy maintenance access. They can easily be removed and mounted by hand. All the components are made from premium materials and finish.

Made to be perfect

The concept took 3 years to materialize – being fine-tuned with designer methodology at all stages.

Meum is the love-child of 3D mathematics, gorgeous craftsmanship, and high-quality production. It’s 100% made in Italy, and all the details and refinements are hand-made by visionary artists.

Headstock

The reversed headstock has a design that doesn’t resemble anything existent on the market. Thanks to the cuts and chamfers, it has been optimized to be as lightweight as possible while maintaining the optimal stiffness to prevent incorrect vibration. Thanks to the reversed headstock, we’ve obtained an overall increased sustain.

We use a single piece quartersawn maple neck, selected to have as little flexibility as possible. The neck is then reinforced with two carbon fiber rods and equipped with a double-action hot rod.

Equipped with Hipshot ultralite tuners.

Position Markers and Inlays

The bass is equipped with pearloid markers.

Nut material

Graphtech

Materials

We are very selective in choosing the perfect cut for the neck wood, as well as the right vein pattern for the body to create a stunning look and an authentic feel. We make sure we pick the best type of maple, which can give the right resonance and bright sounds.
