I first met Mike in 1992. Awesome guy and I can't wait to get my new build from him. Unlined ebony board, mahogany body, maple top, Bart pre and some Fralins. Should pretty nasty. I placed the order in November to beat some of the NAMM-slam. Can't wait. Spring....??? Will definitely post some pics.

I think mike should be known for his fretless basses more. Mine's a gem. You should be very happy.

One more new order here. Now The Wait begins

Two questions regarding my Mike Lull T4. Although used, it still had plastic on the pg. thus, I'm assuming original strings. Anyone know what the Lulls come with?

By any chance anyone know of a gig bag that a T4 fits in?

They typically string their basses with Dunlop stainless steel strings, although that isn't always the case (say the bass was a special order for someone who likes some other brand of strings).

Unless requested otherwise, they come with Dunlop.

Where did you orders yours from??

I couldn't agree more. I am a doubler as well and the neck is spot on. I find many to be too thin. He has dialed the perfect combination of substance/heft, punch, weight, clarity, etc. Can't wait to get it.

Greg is grinning because he definitely knows something

We're closing in on club pt. 3 boys and girls! That should give us all a reason to repost pics!

My recent addition purchased from the classifieds... just swapped out the white pearloid PG for a black one...

Well he got my biz too. Well only a few days left to get an order in before the lull price increase.

There's an impending price increase? Is it going to be big?

The price increases are roughly $300 List for most models - that translates to an actual bump of like $225 if you go through a dealer (75% of List). So that's roughly a 10% bump. It's been a while since they've done a price increase, and I'm sure they won't want to do another one any time soon...

The new prices take effect on Feb 1 (just a few days from now). Any orders that go in before then can be done at the older prices even though delivery would be 2-3 months from now.

And Lulls still remain one of the best bargains in the "Fender" world. Arguably the most bass for the buck for high end basses. IMHO.
