Are those the strings that they usually put on the fretless basses or did you specifically request them?

I requested them, as they are what I'm using on my (fretted) M5V-PJ atm...and really like! Figured I'd start off/begin with what I like on my other Lull...subject to change for fretless though. :)

I never asked what they normally use on their fretlesses...actually, haven't seen very many!

I super appreciate all the nice comments!!! :) Here's some progress pics that Paul sent me along the way...

I have a very "typical" looking M5V, which is the best sounding bass (passive mode) that I've ever owned...never going anywhere! However, I wanted this fretless to be something special looking...couldn't be happier with how it turned out! I'm hoping it will be another awesome sounding Lull production. Mike recommended the PUs, as I play mostly jazz...

Don't know if anyone else feels this way...but I'd really like to see Lull expand their web page-custom pics section, to include more "odd birds" like this one. There's got to be more of them out there!?! :)

Congrats, kevk ! I'm the guy that's got the other sm top 34" ordered thru Rocket. This means mine should be along pretty soon! I don't think it will look quite as good as yours, but I'm pretty sure it'll be great!

M5V, alder body, SM top (duh), no pickguard, no control plate, lightly tinted natural finish with light amber burst on the edges. Fretted rosewood board, no face dots. Black hardware w/Y tuning keys. SD LHB pups, Bart preamp, same as yours. Can't wait!
