| | | | Yes it is ALDER. I was told rosewood but could be wrong. Possibly sold but still here for the moment. |
11-15-2012, 04:02 PM
| | | | still here |
11-16-2012, 10:47 AM
| | | | I guess consider it sold wasn't meant literally. Still here |

FWIW, I think your original post may have the woods correct, it looks like a swamp ash body and a rosewood fretboard. The streaks in the board make it looks like Brazilian rosewood which Mike has been known to use.
My M5 is 18mm and has a push/pull for the active/passive and a 3 ways switch for the midrange frequency. Is your the same?

I'd certainly guess ash from the pic as well. FWIW, I'd also guess Indian rosewood on the board. Of course, a call to Mike's shop with the s/n would clarify.
These are great basses, and this is a really attractive price. Those Duncan pickups offer a great trad J tone in passive mode, and the Bart NTMB is a perfect match for more versatility. Bias the back pickup and boost the 250 mids, and you'll want to hide the women and children. Center the blend with a slight boost on the lows, and the slap tone will make you smile. |

| | | | Thanks for chiming in guys. I believe it is 18mm string spacing but not certain. It's Volume push/pull active/passive,Blend,Bass,Mid,Treble and a 3 way mid switch. This thing is a tone monster. The clip I have is flat and favoring the back pickup but this is also a great slap bass and with some bass boost gets huge. |

| | | | Don't have a scale but Lull basses are very light. Probably around 9lbs. |

|  | Registered Schmoozer. | | | | | Nice looking and sounding bass. Do you have any pics of the back? How's the balance on a strap and the access to the 24th fret?
