The Mike Lull Club Part 4

I really like the PT-4 Idea of crossing a P with a bird :-)

They are awesome, Tbird tone with the great feel of a P bass.

Talk about giving someone gas, I'd like to know more about your Lull collection especially the blue and ebony P. You are the orginal owner of my cherished Lull in Silver Metallic or Burgundy mist Lull P. I don't have the lull certificate that states the color but would love to know so if I was to order another matching finish J or T from My new favorite guitar maker.
 
From left to right:

Candy Apple Red, alder body, 7.0 lbs! P width neck, Indian rw board - excellent vintage P tone
Aztec Gold, alder body, 8.2 lbs, J neck with Brazilian rw board - unique tone with a peak in the mids
Dark Metallic Teal, alder body, 8.0 lbs, P width neck with ebony board no face dots - clear, bright tone with extra snap from the ebony board
Lake Placid Blue, alder body, 8 lbs, P width neck with Indian rw board - dark, full Tbird tone
Candy Apple Green, swamp ash body, 8 lbs, J neck with Brazilian rw board - bright Tbird tone

Mike builds amazing basses - his necks have the perfect feel, the noise shielding is top-notch, and his pickups sound great.

You are so right. Do you have any clips of the Dark Metallic Teal bass?
I would love to hear a ebony Lull.
 
Yet another gig with my new Lull M5V shoreline gold, alder body, maple board. As expected, I'm learning more and more about this bass's magical acoustic qualities every time I take it out to perform. It's become my number one pop bass. It 's really doing everything I want it to. Warm and punchy finger tone with a killer slap sound as well. It's cutting through very well and is quite touch sensitive allowing me to back off or punch with just the attack of my fingers. It's definitely brought some fun back into my playing!!

so what happened with the weak B string? How'd you fix it?

Well I didn't really fix it yet. Finger touch has helped. It's there and adequate. I think I'm the only one who notices. It 's not that bad but could be a bit better. I'm calling Mike on Monday to see if he has any advice. I'm loving the bass so much I almost don 't care. It's adequate though not quite the same as the other strings.
