[/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

[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

[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

[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

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.

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?

[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!

[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.....

[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!

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.

Oh my gosh, it's arrived and it's a ridiculously great bass! NBD to follow

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!

Great flame! Nice job

Just so you know, I measured mine and its 48

[quote name='GrammeFriday' timestamp='1436521505' post='2818791'] Looking forward to seeing pics of yours in all its risky glory! Enjoy tomorrow! [/quote] Cheers mate! First thing I'll do before posting pics is change the pickguard, luckily I have a spare Lull one to use. I'm really looking forward to it.

[quote name='GrammeFriday' timestamp='1436520420' post='2818764'] It wouldn't be this one, by any chance, would it? [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Mike_lull_PJ4.html"]http://www.bassdirec...e_lull_PJ4.html[/url] [/quote] Not that one pal, mine is a far riskier colour! That one is terrific value though, just not the spec i favour.

Purely from personal experience, I can't agree with this eBay favoring, perhaps it depends on what you're selling? From memory, I've sold 16 high end basses on here. That's cost me £60 over 3 years, on eBay i'd have been charge between £70 - £300 for EACH BASS, averaging around £180 I'd guess. I've sold on Basschat..... 2 x Original 1966 Precision 1 x Original 1957 Precision 1x Original 1969 Precision 1x Original 1972 Jazz 1 x Custom Shop 1955 Precision 1 x Custom Shop Pino Precision 3 x Custom Shop 1964 Precision 1 x Custom Shop 1964 Jazz Bass 4 x Modulus Flea Bass (3 advertised and 1 from a guy whio already bought from me via BC) 1 x USA Std Jazz So eBay, you can lick my boots old boy.

Love that colour so much! They really are great basses, enjoy!

I pulled the trigger on another PJ4 today, looking forward to Saturday morning

It took me over 20 years to join the PJ club. I'm a P Bass player at heart, but I love adding the Jazz pickup for tunes that require it, there is a special tone that comes from two pickups running in parallel. I never use the J on its own on my current PJ, but I'm so glad it's there. On my incoming PJ I may use the bridge in its own from time to time as it sounded great in the demo video.
