FS: Mike Lull V4, 1973 Fender Precision

[j.kernodle]

I'm down to two basses that I'm going to hold on to for now. To to free up space and cash. My '77 P bass and my Ken Smith 5 will be staying. All others must go.

I'm selling all basses for what I have in them or less, so prices are firm. Paypal e-check, or Money Order Preferred.

Domestic Only, Please no Trades, unless its something really amazing that will net me serious cash if I decide to flip it.

Here is a cool old 1973 Fender Precision I bought from Montanamike a few months back. I found the '77 p bass literally the same week and decided to hold on to it instead. This bass has a very warm traditional p sound, whereas my 77 is more agressive and edgy. This 73 is a player, clearly its got tons of mojo, finish checking, chips and wear. But it has NOT been abused. Its all honest wear for a nearly 40 year old bass. The frets are dressed down pretty low, but the bass intonates just fine. There is a shim in the neck pocket to give the neck a little tilt back, the neck itself is very straight with very little relief right now. Put flats on it and it'll play great for years to come. Eventually, yeah, it'll probably need a refret. It has a professionally installed 2tek bridge that while obviously not original equipment gives the bass incredibly even sustain and really minimizes any dead spots in the typical 7th to 8th fret range on the g string. I barely notice any loss of sustain in the typical Fender dead spot, and the bass has a very loud resonant acoustic tone. Pickup is a Duncan Vintage (SPB1 I think), pots are CTS replacements (based on what previous owner told me), pickguard is not original. It will come well packed, but without a case, unless you want to pay extra for me to pick you up one. $1200 + shipping

No, no, no! You're not allowed to sell the Lull until I have enough money to buy it back from you!!! It's the nicest jazz bass I've had the pleasure to play.

Lemme try and get rid of some things really quickly for that P-bass.

Would you be interested in an amp and a bass in trade for it?

GE, PM me what you've got, but I really need a cash sale.

What does this beast weigh?

[manface]

Do you think an ashtray would fit over the top of that fancy new bridge?

[j.kernodle]

bassinstincts, its 10 lbs on the dot. Just measured it on my digital postal scale.

Manface, I would certainly think so. The bridge doesn't seem to stick up any higher from the body than a standard P bass bridge. That was an idea that I had as well.

[ubado]

Still around?

If so ... is the width @ the nut 1 9/16" ?

[j.kernodle]

Hey. Yes still around. I'll measure when I get back in town tomorrow night. Its a B neck. So not as wide as some, not as skinny as others. Its a nice meaty neck though.

[Montanamike]

This is a great bass. Jims description is spot on. This has a huge sound and it does sustain for days. One cool part is that this is an ash body.
Jim is also one of the best guys on TBass. Good luck on the sale.
