The Mike Lull Club Part 4

Now we all know that LULL makes some bad-azz basses; that's why there's this club, eh?:D

Mikes' T-Bird pups are extremely sweet, mulled over ordering a P or J T for some time, but when the NRT was presented a while ago-BOOM!

I love that shape, more so than the "standard" T-Bird body; so I was contemplating having one spec'd w/ a P-Bass neck, an ABM bridge rather than the tailpiece, and mebbe trans-orange...

But when I saw this online at Bass Club Chicago (my hometown!- Grew up in SoCali tho)- the reverse headstock KILLED it!

Hadda have IT, it was built for ME! It's ALL about ME!:D
Good thing $$ grows on trees here in SoCal!

No seriously, it don't, but this Bass is worth it.

Is it Thursday morning yet?

I'm not going to wait for no stinkin' FedEx driver either! I'm a-gonna pick-it-UP and will be rawkin' it first at home by Noon, then GIG-
This ...weekend. Heads will turn & Ladies will SWOON.:ninja:

That bass is bad ass but hate to drop the bomb, the ladies don't know a lull from a epiphone-

Now I know that the Ladeez are not aware of Mike Lull's build qualities over an Epiphone, nor will they realize that I thought about a Fano (nice, but short scale) maybe even the Gibson re-issue NRT (ahhhhh I dunno, prolly very nice but, c'mon, instead of a Lull...!?)

And there's even a version called the Firestar Bass:

See? Pretty cool; (3) Lollars OMG- nice build from Deutschland..

But Lull wins.
And for the ladies, I have :

My Stage presence; (We BRING THE FUNK!)

My Chops-I always practice.

And the Secret Weapon-

THE REVERSE HEADSTOCK!!!

Women cannot resist it; that's a fact.\
Something about micro-pheremones or such!:D

Your high- hey, do they have that firestar in a 5? I'm on my phone and can't nav around they site- I want the lull NRT5- but would actually like it made 20% larger like the ament and yes....the reverse headstock, don't get cocky-

Definitely great playing. I couldn't believe how light it was when I first grabbed it out of the case. I don't have a scale or anything, but it's significantly lighter than the basses I had been playing.

I had been following this thread for awhile and the GAS finally caught up to me. I love seeing all these beautiful Lulls.

I've been a fan of Mike Lull since I discovered him in 1983. He fixed a broken headstock on a Les Paul for me and he's been working on my guitars ever since. A few years ago I took up bass. When I played one of his instruments, I was blown away! I thought, "If I get to make that sound, I can be a bass player." And I've never looked back. I finally got my own Mike Lull V4 recently and couldn't be happier. Count me in!
