NBD Mike Lull M5V

Congrats on the new bass. Its really hard to beat a Lull!
BTW - for those of us constantly lusting over a Lull, how about a pic!

 

Congrats! love my Lull. The red with the maple in your Lull really pops.

 

Just had a listen to your video and loved the playing. Your new Lull 5 really cuts through beautifully. I've been a Lull fan since I played a passive V4 J at Bass Direct here in the UK. Also just realised it was you sitting cuddling your 5er in the Christmas basses thread. Glad you're happy with your new purchase.

 

Finding a bass that cuts through the mix can be a hard task. I've rejected so many because I find I can't hear myself without turning everything up to biblical proportions!

I'd still love that passive Lull, but I have other fish to fry first - Namely a D.Lakin Bob Glaub model P and I'm still hunting for that elusive perfect fretless too. It's not as though I haven't enough to be going on with, with my Status basses, an Enfield, a new Sabre and the little Rascal.

 

Yes, I've been playing Status basses for 25 years. There's nothing quite like them - or like having Rob Green as your luthier

I haven't considered Roscoe for fretless - I'll have a look into that one. Thanks.

The Classic Sabre surprised me. I found an ex demo one at the Bass Gallery in London during the summer and it was so good, I let my Status S2 5-string and a brand new 2eq Stingray go for it! It produces a biblical wall of tone, the likes of which I've never encountered in a bass before, along with all the clarity at the top end you'd expect from an ash/maple MM bass.

I'm still admiring your Lull, though. I'm going to Bass Direct tomorrow to play the D.Lakins and I'll be once again looking longingly at the Lull V4.

 

Aguilar or Bart preamp? I had the Aguilar in my M5V and it got buried in the mix. Totally useless onstage (even in passive mode). I was thinking of selling what was otherwise a great bass and then I switched the preamp (to a Sadowsky). Now it's perfect in a live setting.

 

Congrats, what a bass! And the smile on your face is worth a thousand words.

 

Congrats on your bass! It looks like you are having the time of your life playing it!

 

Gorgeous!! She sounds incredible too!!! Congrats!!

 

Sounds and looks like heaven! Congrats again on a great bass selection (including color and woods) as well as some fine playing!
She's a keeper

 

I love candy apple red with a white pearloid pick guard, it looks classy... I know I have a P bass with that exact same combination... And the M5V sounds great also, good choice.
