Hey Guys and Gals,
Just picked this up from Talkbass not more than a couple weeks ago. It is a wonderful customized Mike Lull P bass in black with a matching headstock. This bass features a super light and resonant Alder body, maple neck, and rosewood fretboard. Now what's really special about it is Mike's own reverse-engineered 1964 Thunderbird Pickups in a P and bridge position. Vol/Vol/Tone. The bass is pretty much mint shiny beautiful minus the pots being a little sticky. Comes in the original G&G Mike Lull Hard case. $1800 shipped Conus ($50 less than a payed for it a few weeks ago) via non fee payment. I may be interested in high end 4 strings as trade, but I do have my eye on something right now. Feel free to run questions or trades past me. Thanks, Luke

Wow... how does this sound? Basically like a Tbird? Or does the pickup positioning make it sound like something else? Can you compare it to something more commercially available?

Thanks guys! If by voice of God you mean thunderous, then yes. I've never actually owned a thunderbird, I just had about 5 min playing time with an epiphone t bird inside a guitar center. Hardly a good evaluation environment IMHO. I always heard them like a "P+". You get all that bassey goodness from the neck pickup and some of that complex bite from the bridge. This bass definitely delivers that. One thing is for sure, it's hard to beat "Thunderbirdish" in a 7.8 pound P bass form. Definitely more ergonomic!

I believe I had the chance to play this at BassNW and I almost walked out with it. The bass is SUPER light and it has balls to spare; huge thunderous grindy tone. This is a special bass folks.

I bought a black BiCentennial Bird in 77 and rocked the bejeezus out of it for years. This is just very very cool:bassist: It's almost enuf to make me go back to 4 strings.

DO IT! Think about all of that muting effort of the B string you won't have to do! :-)

DArn!!! I can't believe I missed this one! this is a killer killer, bass. I played a JT4 the other day and it killed, Lull T pickups sound insanely good! thunder and grind! like a precision meets a musicman with more rock balls.

Congrats!
