The Mike Lull Club Part 4

Love the color combo! Are those blocks acrylic(-ish)? Do you know if Mike can or will do ebony blocks on a maple board?

Yeah, they're a black filler material of some sort. I imagine Mike could possibly be talked into doing Ebony blocks, but I also imagine it would be quite expensive...
 
I guess Mouradian is about 50 minutes from me. Do they specifically have Lull experience? I have a great guy who usually does work at The Music Techs in Manchester, NH

Honestly there is nothing proprietary going on with it being a Lull...However to answer your question they have worked on mine with all the same electronics that Mike utilizes...
 
I love Nordstand's pickups. I'm thinking about putting big singles/splits in my jazz. Can you describe how the big singles compare to standard jazz size pickups?

Well I have set with Carey and discussed this in depth.

Carey calls it...Just more of everything from a standard J.

I refer to as "They are like all the good that comes from single coil yet you mated that with a hunbucker tonally speaking wise."
Carey agreed...

Think a Full & Thick single to put it simply.

Whats the difference between fat stacks and big singles? The fat stacks I had sounded to me like what a PJ should sound like! like a really full tone but still has the jazz tone.

Fat Stacks are a little darker with not a much open top end to them when compared to a single.
 
You know I tried to make my P4 pretty much the same as my V4.....but my V4 is just such a special bass it sounds and feels so perfect with my SVT2! I freaking love that bass!!! everytime I play it after playing anything else its just wonderful! I tried over 80 basses before falling for a bass like this!!!!
