  1. That looks great, love the burst and strong grain showing through. Awesome value you got there too, enjoy!
  2. [quote name='Sammers' timestamp='1436962996' post='2822345'] What a beaut, love the colour! Being a P, what's the neck like? Jazz-esque or a bit chunkier like a modern P? If I had the chance to get another I would in a heartbeat, I got quite lucky picking up a used 1.. especially being a lefty! [/quote] You did get lucky! These ones have a J neck 1.5, though they also come with a vintage width P neck too, 1.75. I had a P4 with a 1.75 and it was the nicest wide neck I'd ever played. I actually prefer the P neck on a P Bass but as these have the bridge pickup it'll make me play differently at times to the way I usually play a regular P, so the J neck does a great job for me. In all honesty, these are the most comfortable necks I've ever had. [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1436964183' post='2822368'] What a lovely colour... I've not had the pleasure of playing a lull but they seem very highly regarded. ...something else on the bloody GAS list [/quote] The feelings mutual, your Wal's are stunning and pure envy fodder
  3. Alberto bought a bass from me recently, he has been the perfect buyer as well as friendly a reliable. Communication was easy, overseas payment went through with no issues or delays and it was a quick and easy transaction. It's my pleasure to start Alberto's feedback thread, I have a feeling he may buy one or two more basses! Cheers
  4. [quote name='PauBass' timestamp='1436898750' post='2821900'] Wow, stunning basses you have there! After having bought mine and seeing how good they are, no wonder you have ordered a second one Congratulations, enjoy it! [/quote] Cheers pal. I'm so glad I did order another. I can't believe how different they sound yet how perfectly the same they feel and react to the way I dig in and play. I'm one very happy bunny
  5. [quote name='cyrilxlsnoise' timestamp='1436816716' post='2821122'] She's a beauty... A quick note to say, Daniel was a great guy to chat to and very genuine. Good luck with the sale. Feedback: [url="http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=fr&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&tl=fr&u=http://basschat.co.uk/topic/254049-feedback-for-cyrilxlsnoise/&usg=ALkJrhj7E_8X1pQj2vAsIcF-kwD6BoZt2Q"]http: //basschat.co.u...-cyrilxlsnoise[/url] [/quote] Cheers Cyril much appreciate mate, hope you're enjoying your gorgeous Modulus
  6. [quote name='zawinul' timestamp='1436722774' post='2820230'] Nice Lull, need al lined fretless though and a little bot over budget!!!! How good are Lull basses? [/quote] In my opinion....THAT good. It was their light weight that drew me to them, however I'm now smitten by their general vibe, they are the amazing Fenders that Fender never made. Perhaps the same for Thunderbirds too? Plus he has some great other models in the range. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of a good Fender Custom Shop, but my Lull's are just so different yet based on a Fender. There's so many great basses and makers out there, for me it's all about finding the maker that matches your ideals, for me that's Lull. However I don't expect everyone to fall for them like I have.
  7. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1436722132' post='2820217'] Life is short. You may as well accumulate as many Lulls as possible before you join the choir invisible... Your descendants will thank you... [/quote] Bro, is all this to justify your soon to be huge Shergold collection? But yeah, the thought has crossed my mind, I could never have enough Lull's to honest. Found my thang.
  8. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1436721330' post='2820205'] Oof! That's very pretty. It would look well in your Lull family... and you probably DO need a fretless anyway, right? [/quote] Well now you say it, I don't currently have a fretless so perhaps I DO need it after all? Actually, I'm already thinking about the 5 string I'd like to order next year. Not sure if I need it right now, (let alone afford it) so this could be more about the fact that I love his basses so much. But if I'm playing more next year it'll be hard not to justify a fiver, so in the meantime I can dream a little.....
  9. Yikes, please buy this one before my credit card does.... http://www.station-musicshop.de/epages/64398533.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/64398533/Products/9071
  10. [quote name='Bass_Guardian' timestamp='1436705743' post='2820040'] Loving that! Lovely pair congrats on the new sibling! [/quote] [quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1436713497' post='2820121'] Like! [/quote] [quote name='madshadows' timestamp='1436719420' post='2820181'] Lovely looking bass, love the colour, congrats John [/quote] Thanks fella"s, I'm still buzzing. Mrs Chiliwailer is finally happy too, she's been giving me tons of grief for selling my blue Jazz Bass and purple Modulus purely as she loves the colours. She's not into the trans blue of my other Lull so finally there's a colour she likes in the green one. She came pretty close to buying the Jazz Bass just to keep it hanging on the wall! Who'd have thought, a Mrs giving grief for SELLING
  11. Wow Gary, great refin on that one and an awesome set of cool features GLWTS
  12. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1436695586' post='2819946'] So what happens when you put it next to Candy Apple Red? [/quote] Then I'm only one away from a traffic light set
  13. [quote name='Subbeh' timestamp='1436644500' post='2819773'] Wow, the new Lull is lovely! but your other one is one of the nicest basses I've ever seen, absolutely adore the finish, they make a stunning pair [/quote] Thanks man, really glad you like it. Bass Direct have a gorgeous Lull Jazz 5 string in the same colour. Luckily the blue one is my number 1 because I much prefer that colour too
  14. [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1436640831' post='2819745'] That surf green colour is perfect. [/quote] Thank you, it's one of those colours that changes in the light quite a bit. It's actually a Sea Foam Green Metaliic, the Metaliic element is pretty cool close up. [quote name='Noisyjon' timestamp='1436641868' post='2819758'] Lovely basses you have there Chiliwailer. Cheers, Jon [/quote] Cheers Jon, im really chuffed to have them. I've been selling off a lot of basses that are either too heavy or ergonomically uncomfortable for me so these two have been well worth the wait
  15. Sounds like a great NBD, killer tones, set up great and tons of options to play with. Toggle switch is a very good touch. Looks really good, loving the white too.
  16. I love those Fender flats too as they have good treble and clarity. I also use the light weight ones, but then for my style light flats always suit me better. I tend to go for the right string for the bass and vibe I'm after. So I go between Thomastik if I need versatility, Fender flat for an old school tone, LaBella flats for a boomy bass tone or coated D'Addarrio nickel for rounds just because my sweat kills rounds easily. Maybe rounds will suit you better on a different bass?
  17. [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1436622667' post='2819615'] Could you not just wear tinted glasses if the colour bothers you Congrats on the new Lull [/quote] Good call, rose tinted glasses should do the trick.... [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1436623490' post='2819623'] Not fitting a tort guard to that green one is heresy. [/quote] Rebel green it is then!
  18. [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1436621631' post='2819606'] Don't you dare! I love that colour. Damn! I seem to have shown my hand. [/quote] Haha Right you are though, I think it'd be a crime to cover that up. I think it's my guilty pleasure.....
  19. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1436615584' post='2819532'] Congratulations... Another Lull in the proceedings, arf arf. You've got to love an ash/maple combo and thank god you weren't tempted to fit a tort guard. Enjoy. [/quote] Oh mate, I almost brought up my lunch when you mentioned tort on that [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1436615806' post='2819534'] Bleurrgh! Horrible; just plain nasty looking! Look, don't fret, I'll drive over and remove it from your sight and dispose of it in a suitable fashion (see, add to the quiver at Ez Towers). Congrats, nice one. Enjoy. [/quote] Cheers Pal, that's a very thoughtful and kind offer, but if the worst comes to the worst there is always a respray option... Dare I say it! (Hopefully not though) [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1436616561' post='2819542'] That is a looker Dan, enjoy mate. [/quote] Cheers Gary!
  20. She arrived a few hours ago, I bought her blind and had an expectation which was better than matched when it turned up. I still can't believe I bought a green bass, it's a cool colour but way out of my comfort zone. I was never into the pearloid pickguard but luckily I had a white Lull pickguard from my other PJ4 as I took that one off and replaced it with a parchment one. This is my second PJ4, In fact judging by the fact that it's got the same date on the certificate as my other one they are from the same 'batch'. Both were finished in February this year, I got the other blue one 2 months ago. Though they are both PJ4's, they are totally different tonal animals yet feel the same, react the same and have a familiar vibe about them. I went for another because my other one has flats on and I wanted a slightly different version to have rounds on, but still in my favoured ash and maple combination. Without a doubt, the new one is the better one in terms of hi fi sound. It's got a Bartolini preamp and Nordstrand pickups, the weight, punch and clarity of tone is superb, or 'exceptional' as Mark from Bass Direct said this morning when I emailed to say thanks. The blue one also has Nordstands as well, but a dual coil bridge pickup which gives it a very honky and mid ranged tone, which I love. The blue one is more 'me', but the new green one is right behind and fills the gaps that the blue one can't do. They are a perfect compliment to each other, just what I was hoping for and am now completely over the moon about. One is a touch under 8lbs, one a touch over, but they feel the same and have the weight, balance and feel that is ideal for me, a big reason I got two of the same model. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Thanks to Bass Direct and Mike Lull, I can't imagine having another better suited bass to my needs.

  21. Oh my gosh, it's arrived and it's a ridiculously great bass! NBD to follow
  22. Really pleased you're loving the bass, it's got a vibe! Could be pretty cool with some flats on too, bit of foam under the bridge even? Good score!
  23. These basses are so good, and I'm loving this picture too [URL=http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/Sephalda_Simorangkir/media/IMG_37261_zpsg9n2rpmj.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag108/Sephalda_Simorangkir/IMG_37261_zpsg9n2rpmj.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
