Maybe he's not mixing it up. Maybe he really IS rolling on the laughing floor.

Mike Lull makes a T-Bird that, by all accounts, is exquisite.

I have seen, touched, and played the Lull T-Bird and exquisite barely scrapes the surface. On my Christmas visit to Bass Club, they had one in that had been custom ordered for someone who was in to pick it up that day. I have no idea who he was, but he could play - and spent the afternoon with FM and I hanging out, playing, talking and taking pictures.

Nice. We finally have a Lull dealer here, but no T Birds as yet.

There's a Lull T-Bird at Premier Bass here in Colorado. It really is a beautiful instrument.

Yup....just call it "fast finger dyslexia"? I know what I "mean" but my fingers don't always cooperate.....

That was funny though Johnny..good catch

That makes 2 of us in airport purgatory this morning...

Sorry to hear it...where are you headed?

LOL. If I were looking for something less common than a Jazz or P, I'd be looking at a LAKLAND Decade, anyway...

Better?

Great timing, I'm envious! I've been to Bass Club a bunch of times, but never laid hands on a Lullbird. The clips on his site sound great.

One day, I may see if I can get Carl to build me something similar.

Hope that doesn't happen when you play bass

So I go to a music store over lunch, I had to get out of the office. I pick up a few basses to try, Warwick, Fender, Spector, and an "F" Bass. None of them come close to the feel or tone of my Laklands. This is not the first time that I have touched another brand since buying my Lakies. Yes, I am a blasphemer. Here is the funny thing. Since buying my Laklands almost 6 months ago, I have wanted and desired to play more. I have never had a bass that made me want rearrange my schedule so that I can practice...It's a magical thing.

This happens to me all the time. When I go to GC, there's rarely anything I'm curious enough to even bother picking up. Bass Club has all kinds of cool stuff, but even there I've yet to find anything that made me want to buy it. Well, maybe that $6K Ritter, but that's out of my league.

 

[GregC]

My new Glaub CS arrived. The pickup is single coil and sounds super growly vs. the punchy Pbass sound. I put some medium Fender flats on it, which sound perfect with the pickup. Taking this out on tour tomorrow.

I knew you'd dig it! Best of luck on the tour, Branden. Damn, no Chicago stops this time.

 

[GregC]

So I walked in to Premier Bass here in Colorado today just to look around and play a couple of basses. They have an Inca silver Skyline Duck Dunn, and I've never liked that particular color. I''ve also yet to bond with a P-bass, and tend to prefer active basses, so I was a little skeptical. I've always wondered about the Duck Dunn model, though, so I gave it a try. Long story short, Dan is ordering me one in CAR.

Congrats, Woody! Welcome!

Now if I could just figure out who that delightful mystery man was, it would be pretty awesome. I was going through my pictures from that trip, but they were all on FM's camera.

I loved that Ritter. The Manne Glen Hughes was pretty nice, too. Does he still have the Manne in stock?
