VIEW FULL LIVE VERSION : Mike Lull MV5 with KILLER 5A top!
fralim01 09-02-2005, 07:24 AM GAS is an evil thing! I have my eye on B-Man's Metro RV5 so I have to try to move this. My only complaint is the 35" scale. The B is super tight, but I just can get used to it!
Mike Lull MV5 (Maple board, ash body)
5A quilt top (the quilt on this one is sick!) in Carmel burst
Seymour Duncan single coil pickups
SADOWSKY preamp with VTC!!!!
Two pickguards: Tort and Mint
Great shape, only minor gig marks. No major scratches or dings
Super resonant and fairly light (~9lbs). Below are some old pics. I can take new ones on request. They make the color look redder than it is. They also show it with the Tort guard (mint on now) and the old stock Bart preamp.
Asking $1650 shipped PRICE DROP. This was a ~$3000 bass new with the upgraded top. Prefer paypal

Wow, that is a gorgeous top on that. Absolutely beautiful.
Good luck selling (like you need any with a bass that looks like that).
fralim01 09-02-2005, 06:46 PM Well, B-Man decided to keep his Sadowsky RV5 (must have come to his senses :D ) That means that Im on the fence about selling this one. I will leave it up for the weekend. Seriously interested in trading for a Metro RV5.....

BTBbassist 09-04-2005, 12:45 AM Oh snap! How could they put a pickguard on that top? :confused:
Gorgeous bass...

Ray Salamon 09-04-2005, 01:13 AM Oh snap! How could they put a pickguard on that top? :confused:
Gorgeous bass...
Just get a clear one put over it... you'll be protecting and still showing off the quilt. Nice bass!

Puņeta! that's a nice bass
so, if you were to get this bass, would it be a 'stroke' of luck?
this instrument would be a 'handful'...
:D
Knavery 09-06-2005, 10:27 AM Keep it. That is one sweet peesh of ishe.
Woodchuck 09-06-2005, 11:02 AM She is a keeper, bro.
Hambone 09-08-2005, 05:23 PM In the dictionary under the definition of "flame" there's a picture of that bass.
[faints]
fralim01 09-14-2005, 02:41 PM :hiding:
bump?
every day I look at this bass and I think "am I really done with 5-strings?" Do you still have the original preamp? simply curious.
fralim01 09-14-2005, 04:12 PM Do you still have the original preamp? simply curious.
Sorry, no...
dooft11 09-15-2005, 05:52 AM wow :hyper:
fralim01 09-15-2005, 12:07 PM $1600?
pickles 09-15-2005, 03:11 PM Why hasn't this sold?! I've got a sadowsky already or I'd have to snap this puppy up.
Did any of you people hear Adrian Garcia's Mike Lull soundbytes?! These things sound amazing.
This is killing me. Basically, a 35" scale Sadowsky with a killer top. Drool-o-rama for me. Free bump from the drooling broke person looking for a good spot to dump a bucketfull... *sigh*
Do you do financing? ;)
Nino Valenti 09-15-2005, 05:14 PM WOW, that's one Beautiful bass!!!!!
WOW, that's one Beautiful bass!!!!!Shut up, Nino. You aren't helping me AT ALL! ;)
First, you make these killer basses yourself, then you chime in here, when you know dang well I totally respect yer opinion... evil... :)
gwreid 09-15-2005, 05:35 PM Well, B-Man decided to keep his Sadowsky RV5 (must have come to his senses :D ) That means that Im on the fence about selling this one. I will leave it up for the weekend. Seriously interested in trading for a Metro RV5.....
As this has a Sad Pre and is a well built bass, what is your thinking on getting the Metro? I'm sitting on the fence here! :hiding:

gwreid 09-15-2005, 08:58 PM He said (I think) in the first post it's the 35" scale he doesn't like.
In deed he did. Thank you. I was contemplating that that might be the answer but missed the reference. Hmmm what to do. :confused:
Hmmm what to do. :confused:Simple. Give me the money so I can buy it out from under you. :)
Lorenzini 09-16-2005, 09:17 AM Wow! I'm freaking out.
fralim01 09-16-2005, 10:11 AM Ooooo..a discussion in my thread :D
My reasons for selling are three fold
1. I dont like the feel or sound of 35" scale length basses
2. I need an alder/rosewood bass for the stuff Im doing now
3. Its too damn pretty to take anywhere that I play
Now, please buy it!!!
fralim01 09-17-2005, 12:10 PM On hold...now I just need to find a Sadowsky 5er for sale :help:
fralim01 09-19-2005, 08:14 PM SOLD..to someone who will soon be very happy!
jazz5757 09-19-2005, 10:08 PM SOLD..to someone who will soon be very happy!
