The Mike Lull Club Part 2

[mraappana]

Thanks! Its very light and easiest playing jazz5:r ever! Neck is just perfect and it´s just very very rare bass up here. (Finland)

 

[TMart99]

Just wondering. When placing an order for a custom Lull, with Mike. Is there an option for a different or custom headstock or is that the only option?

 

[bdgotoh]

The only person I know of who has a non-standard headstock is Jeff Ament, and that was to make it bigger. I don't think he'll change headstocks otherwise, but you can ask.

Bloody hell this bass is insane. Never heard that extreme focus on a fender-style instrument before. As close to synth bass-tightness you can get.. Still having a hard time with the 35', but it's getting better..

Hey regards from Finland!

Can i have a number please?

It has Alder Body, AAAAA maple top in a dark Carmel burst, Basslines custom shop pickups, 18V Bartolini NTMB pre. Just Great! I got it used! Lucky me!

Sweet Lull! Very close to mine. The black hardware looks great, congrats!

I've definitely lost my mind:

If anyone wants to talk me out of it, have at it.

 

[VroomVroom]

Oof. Can I ask why you haven't gigged it? Same electronic spec as my alder/rosewood one...which sounds so good I don't miss the low B. Lull four-string basses might just be the sweetspot, and I bet yours is no exception. Good luck with the sale, but if it's not strictly a financial concern, I'd strongly recommend gigging it at least once. That way, you'll know for sure. We've all sold instruments and later regretted it, and this seems like it might fit that category.

 

[Holdsg]

Its nothing about the tone/playability, that's all top notch just what I want in an active jazz. I play at some pretty sleazy places, and I've been paranoid about my baby. I would keep it as a recording bass, if I did any serious recording (I don't). yeah, trust me, I've considered how I might regret it.

Mike Lull M5V Alder/Maple recordings. Judge the instrument, not the player.

 

[Killens84]

I've had a few gigs with my new Lull V4 bass and Genz Benz Streamliner 900 amp with the Uber 4x10" cab, and that setup has been amazing! The bass practically plays itself, and the Genz Benz amp/cab is unbelievable. I think if I can get a Lull M5V to compliment my V4, and two of the Genz Benz Uber Quad cabinets, my ideal setup will be complete

 

[feelinlow]

I recently picked up a used M5V and it has Bartolini pups in it that I would like to replace. Does anyone have The original Duncans or Nordstrand pickups that came out of a M5v that you may have switched out and want to sell?

Thanks,

David

Not sure about the Nordy's, but as far as I know, the Duncan's are custom wound for Mike, not an off the shelf model.

My Lull PJ5 is the one bass I can't imagine living without.

Yes you are right. Which ever I go with I plan on buying them frm Mike to make sure I get the proper pickup.

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been around for a while. Been busy engaged in some other hobbies, namely the two-wheeled kind. Anyway, been experimenting with different strings on the T5 lately and it seems like I prefer the sound of nickel better. Tried a set of DR flats and they were too thumpy. TI JF345's were jaut tad too short, but sounded interesting. Stainless sounded too edgy. Picked up a set of DR Nickel Lo Riders and with a few amp tweaks, I'm doing okay now. Been running through an Aguilar DB750/NV610 rig. Rock in its most absolute basic form (unless some can loan me $4k to get an Orange AD200 rig).

Anyway, got some housekeeping done and have the new club member list updated:
