FS: Mike Lull MV5 (NAMM)

[kai_ski]

For sale only, no trades. I have had some medical bills that I can pay off over time, but I'd prefer to just cover them in full. Unfortunately, that means downsizing a bit.

Candy Apple Red M5V in excellent condition. When I received it, it had a Aguilar OPB-3 pre, which I swapped for a Bartolini NTMB. Alder body/Maple neck. Weighs 8.5 lbs. Controls are V p-p active-passive/B/p-p M/B-T. Custom Duncan single coils it sounds excellent! Strung with Sadowky Blue SS rounds.

I bought the bass here (see for more pics.) It looks and plays the same as the day I bought it: perfect.

Asking $1700 shipped in the CONUS $1600 plus shipping, includes gig bag.

I don't like Lull's. I played this bass when it was in Portland and I LIKE LULL'S!! This bass kicks butt, and the color is gorgeous! It's like a muscle car orange. Do you still have the old pre?

[kai_ski]

Thanks, this really is a great bass. In response to a few questions:

I describe my opinion on the improvements of the bart preamp here.

The Aguilar pre is gone.

Weight is 8.5 lbs.

Is this candy apple red or orange? It's hard to tell from the pics

[kai_ski]

It's red but has a bit of an orange tint.

Interested, but could I ask a favor? Can you measure the pickup placement from the nut? I'd like to know the distance of the pickup centers from the top of the nut. If it's not too much trouble. Thanks.

neck pickup - 28 7/8"
bridge pickup - 32 1/2"

price drop

Would LOVE to pull the trigger on this beautiful bass. I JUST bought a Skjold though.

"Someone's going to get a sweet bass" bump.

VERY nice bass at a "Killer" price!!!

I bumped the original thread, so I better chime in here too. Sorry this one has to go...I can only imagine how good it sounds. I'm a huge fan of the Duncan/Bart combo in these instruments, and the alder/maple board combo....slurp.

[kai_ski]

It sounds fantastic.

Here's some recent tracks, raw mix, rough vox, rough piano. Listen for the Low-B at 2:57 on Sunshine. (I had to lower the bitrate to 120k to get an allowable size.)

Signal chain is Lull M5V -> Avalon U5 -> Purple Audio MC76 (1176 clone) -> Protools HD

Oh my! Man is it tempting to reacquire this bass - especially since you swapped out the aggie pre... but alas I have too many uber basses as it is.

Footie is correct this is one badass bass and Kai is super great to work with.

[vates]

The bass sounds really good!

[Holdsg]

+1 those are some nice tunes Kai

[kai_ski]

Sold and headed to Italy.
