Yup!
Mike's a great guy, does all my work, I'm more than happy to help out with his projects - I did a little with the T bass too.
Those pups rule!
It's an exact copy of the original early '60s Gibson.
those p-ups do indeed rule. big, loud, full, deep. i'd buy an M-5 with t-bass p-ups and a mahogany body in a heartbeat, assuming i had the money.
I dropped two of the Lull T Bass PUs into my cherry Gibson Thunderbird Studio bass, it is now my fave T-Bird!! Amazing, vintage tone, with tons of lows and crisp clarity. I am saving to buy two more sets, one for a black Studio TBird, and one for my White IV!!
I think we're all so conditioned to the disappointment of new shiny, nifty looking things ending up being crap that I can understand the reaction.
I'm sure it's not plastic-y and cheap, but it's not my vibe either.
In person these look anything but cheap. I just picked up the CAR PT5 from BassNW and its stunning in person. The chrome pickups are so smooth and shiny its like looking into a mirror. A true "race car" bass if ever there was one. If I could figure out how to post big pics that do this bass justice I would!
Man, that is suh-weet! I love the look. And the clips for those pickups sound great. I just wish they were around $200 apiece, rather than almost $300 (plus $40 for the chrome surround)--ouch.
The JT would be perfect for me, someone for whom the ergonomics of a Jazz Bass are easily one of the two best bass designs (and when you're Disabled, are missing the better part of 3 vertebrae due to a non-cancerous tumor, and dealing with Chronic Pain Syndrome as well, the most comfortable, easiest-to-play basses become the ones you gravitate towards) and who would love to own one of his T-Basses but the ergonomics of the Thunderbird design simply *doesn't work* for me.
...and "Wonderful!", another Lull to put up on the "Dream Lull" list.
Both the CAR as well as the Two-Tone 'Burst look (and I bet sound) absolutely fantastic! 
It's great to see Mike, his shop and line finally start to get more followers here on TB after years of a relatively small amount of us in "The Mike Lull Club" shouting his name from the rooftops!

Gorgeous basses! I've never seen or played a Lull that didn't greatly impress me......sad to say - I don't own one 
*I* am quite smitten with the one with the Barts Any info on make of the bridge?

These sure look nice - but pretty shiny pickups don't mean *squat* if they don't sound good. So how do they sound????

Man, +1 there. Too much chrome for my taste. Not saying they are that way, just look that way to me. But then, there are plenty of Lulls that are just drop dead gorgeous for my taste, so there you go.
Just not necessary. There's a rule here about respect.
