Ditto. It's a sickness.

It's a custom JAXPT4 built for Branden Campbell, bassist for the Neon Trees. The finish was done by Marty Bell and it's really spectacular. For some reason the PT version isn't listed on Mike's site yet but it's available. The body and headstock are 20% oversized per Jeff Ament's request.

So do you have one that's a keeper? If you could only grab one as your running out of the burning house, which is it?
I know you weren't addressing me, but in my case, I wouldn't know which one to pick, so I would probably stand they're deliberating and just burn up with them all.
I'm going to guess he might pick the P. ;-)
The gold P4 upper left and the red P4 upper right are the two that I would grab. The green with block inlays is 3rd place.
Whew- I like this group. When my wife says I've got too much stuff, I can show her you all and say "not in comparison to..."

Brad and I are just barely getting started compared to some of the guys on there who are in triple digits.

I proclaim that collection to be 1 part nuts, 6 parts AWESOME!
What's cool is that you really have down what you like.....P body, B bridge, rosewood.....and you're just tweaking the fiddly bits.
I would be so torn as to which of those to even play!
I wish I could swap out the A-style bridges on my Lull's for B-style bridges. I like the B's better. But Hipshot told me the B doesn't directly replace the A without drilling new holes.
What about the B style bridge is more to your liking? I haven't found anything to not like about the A style bridge just yet.
Kody is a good friend, ya'll, and just down the road an hour from me. He sold me my first two Lulls and bought one of them back. So don't at all think this is a challenge to Kody's preference. I'm just mildly curious and we haven't had this conversation.
Kody and everyone stay tuned, I have gorgeous NBD pics to share later today. I would share them now, but I don't want to jinx the new bass's arrival.

Wait, how does this song start again??
Same here @Killens84. I like the B bridge's simpler design, smaller footprint and I find it's easier to intonate on them.
The simpler design and smaller footprint is what I like most. I also tend to overthink the string spacing adjustment on my A styles, so I like how the B style is fixed spacing.
It's always a blast to spend time in your music store! I appreciate the times you've invited me in.
Speaking of the Bass Shop, I just bought this jewel from them....
This bass is exactly what I would spec were I to custom-order a bass. I would order a matching-color headstock, but this bass is so good and so close, it's my forever bass. And I found a good home for the red M5V.
The story goes, it was ordered new in 2017, but never old. I'm the first owner. And Chad at the Bass Shop was wonderful in making me a deal, helping out with the shipping, and going another mile getting it shipped when Fedex screwed. Great people there . I wish I weren't so far away, I'd love to visit and peruse the place.
I had posted this under NBD, but immediately, a couple of folks from no telling where (might have been the same person) starting trolling me on Facebook Messenger, calling me nasty names and talking about how many homeless and poor people could have used that money. Not getting into the social issue over that, I decided to ask the mods to delete the post. The trolls weren't registered here, so I've no idea how they found about it.
Anyway, just wanted to show off the new bass. Played the first gig with it tonight. It passed the test, oh man, did it ever!...
