Has anyone had the opportunity to compare a maple board Lull T4 or T5 to a rosewood equipped one? Or maybe the difference is subtle enough that it doesn't matter? Still miss my '76 Tbird (sold in 2000), just not the neck dive.

Selling a '76 in these part of the woods is a no no.

Will I be forgiven if I get a T5?

Oh yes you will!

Our Queen should be around at some point to tell you about the Lull's.

 

[Thumper]

Oh yes you will!

Great, looking for one as we speak/type. Anyone with knowledge of one (besides the one in the Classifieds) PM me?

I have a T4 it has a rosewood neck - I don't really love maple so a comparison is tough, and possibly quite expensive. I will say that you won't be disappointed in one of Mike's Birds, they're very nice basses.

Do you mean maple will be expensive? Looking for used.

Playing with a pick it will - even fingernails could eventually scratch/chip a coating. I'd just get used to it or replace the pu's with ones that don't have exposed poles. I like exposed poles - gives it a muscle-car vibe.

Perfect description.

And ties in with the fret board inlays.

Depends on the inlays!

Well loved backside of a "player" no "relicing".

I was aiming to avoid big words, but yes. If nail polish chips off, it can be re-applied. Buy the large economy size bottle - 30mL (1 fl oz for those sticking to measures not divisible by 10)

1 is divisible by 10.

Despite the headstock, that is one drool-worthy bass.

1 is divisible by 10.

Yeah, but no one wants to talk about .8 drams or 48 minims.

I’m sure someone would

I’m sure someone would

OK, no one wants to talk to me about drams and minims.

In sitting around waiting for my guitarist to return from FNQ (yes, that's as sweary as it sounds) news, she has declared for Orange amplification. Other people's GAS is often just as enjoyable as one's own. The AD30 is a monster. The funny thing is the 212 that goes with it is only 3kg lighter than my SVT212AV bass cab.
