Mike Lull 2013 "Pipeline" Orders

Nice playing Greg, what's with the tug bar on the PJ4? Never seen one on a Lull before.

I think that anodized pickguard must've come pre-drilled for both the tug bar and for an old school pickup cover (one that goes up and over the strings). Lull included a chrome pickup cover in the case with the bass, and the screws were already in the pickguard. Unfortunately, the pickup cover they sent was too long, so I didn't even bother to mention it. But I'm sure a pickup cover that is the proper size could be had pretty easily.

Here's a Fiesta Red Lull P4 that I ordered based on Pino Palladino's '62 P. This one just arrived yesterday, and it's already on it's way to Jacob in Anaheim. Thanks, Jacob!

Oh, baby. Here's another glorious color from Mike Lull. Total homerun on this one, and the anodized pickguard pushes it over the top for me. Plus it sports my favorite pickup combination at the moment: a Nordstrand NP4 matched with a Nordstrand Dual Coil. Yessir!!

That's a great looking blue. Interesting that they have extra screws in the pickguard for a pickup cover and tug bar.

Yeah, I'm guessing these metal/anodized pickguards might be a bit harder to drill and not leave a messy look, so they must come fully pre-drilled. But that's just a guess.
 
Oh, baby!! I sold my gorgeous Roscoe fretless 5-string earlier this year when I realized that I probably wasn't going back to 5's any time soon. This is what I ordered to replace it. It just came off Mike's bench, so I should see it in about a week!

That is very cool. Is it passive?
 
Happy Birthday to this bass! And congrats to whoever buys it, it can now be bought at a 10% discount ($2399 shipped)!!

I'm a bit amazed this one has stayed here this long. It's a 34" scale, 5-string passive J-bass with an incredible look. It sounds mighty fine as well! Think Sadowsky minus the active electronics.

That is a killer looking bass. Never would have thought that a tort guard would look good on seafoam green if I didn't see it for myself.

I thought the same thing until I ordered one from G&L that looked just like this. It looked so good, I repeated the look the next time I placed a Lull order. LOL
