The Mike Lull Club Part 4

[Vic]

What are the main differences in those three preamps?

I just like the way they're voiced and the way the EQ works, and think the Nordstrand preamp pairs especially nicely with the Nordstrand pickups as well.

I cannot wait for it to get here. I think that I got a pretty good deal too! $1500 before shipping and taxes seemed like something I shouldn't pass on!

Congrats! You're member number 107.

Yup. This is what I would order if I ever wanted another lull. Maybe the P version of this.

Thanks. Yeah, I truly love Fenders, but Lull's are just off the charts. Everything about mine is immaculate, no dead spots, buzzing etc. Anyone willing to spend $2,300 on a Fender is really doing themselves a disservice by not spending $300 or $400 more for a Lull.

Everything you just said is true.

I know that this has likely been asked before so please bear with me
I am looking for a Lull P bass alder with Rosewood board
Considering both the P4 (Fralins) or ordering a P5 (Mike's custom wound) with a 34" neck)
Can anyone comment on the difference between the pickups? I am looking for the "vintage" P sound....
Also, has anyone had Mike make a P bass but with a Jazz neck ( similar to a Duck Dunn)?
I am hoping to join the club soon!
Thanks

 

[Holdsg]

Mike will definitely make a P4 with a jazz width neck.

As to the difference between the Fralins on a P4 and Custom wound Duncan's on the P5, I have owned basses with each of these pickups, and I love the Fralins for that vintage Precision tone. The Duncan's are 99.3% there in my book and if you asked most people, they could not tell the difference. The Duncan sounds like If Lindy made a 5string pickup.
YMMV.

Holdsg,

Thanks for your input!
No local Lull dealers here in Philadelphia area-Bass Specialties has only on-line sales now.
I was fortunate to check out several Lull Jazz basses when I visited California a few months back however no one had a Lull P in stock for me to check out
Thanks again

 

[Holdsg]

Thx, if you ever get out to Southern California, you are free to check mine out.
