HazBeen Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) I have been going over this for ages now, maybe it's time to get on with it. I own 2 Mike Lull basses, a V5 and a PJ5. Both are magnificent 5 string renditions of classic tone monsters. The thing is I am more a J than a P guy, so I tend to use my V5 most of the time and my PJ5 is left behind way too often..... it needs to be cherised....... Anyone own a 5 string (passive or with good passive option) or even 4 string JB type bass and looking for a Mike Lull PJ5? Perhaps we can trade....... perhaps Trade value would be around €1400-1500 or £1150-1200 and I am not looking to spend money on a trade (would actually prefer to trade down a little as the JB will be pretty much a backup to my V5). UPDATE: To answer a question that someone raised, to sell outright I would be looking at £1300,-. + shipping Not a bad price. Am willing to take a lower trade value... see above. What springs to mind? Lulls of course, but also G&L JBs, Lakland DJs, Shukers maybe, a good 4 string Fender Jazz USA, what else u got? Would perhaps entertain the thought of going for a Stingray (my old love), but would prefer a Classic 5 then, or even a Fender Roscoe Beck, just because they're awesome. And you can always try me with whatever else you think I might like. Strong preference to passive and 35" scale for 5 string.

risingson Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Chris_b has got one of these I think, they look and sound absolutely amazing. Have a bump on me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Oh yes. I was over at Bass Gear today comparing my Lull PJ5 with their Nordstrand P5. The Nordy sounds great but I came away thinking the Lull sounded better. Mike Lull makes some special basses. Have another bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbass6 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I bought a PJ5 8 weeks ago and went straight out on tour with it. What an absolute beast of a bass. The sound engineers were jumping for joy. If I had the spare dosh, that would be mine in a heart beat. Mike Lull really does make the best basses IMHO - can't say enough good things about my Lull. Have a bump on me and good luck, not that you need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazBeen Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Cheers Gents! They truly are a thing of beauty and just sound right. My V5 will never leave me...... and I am starting to wobble a bit on whether I can let the PJ5 go..... had some nice offers for trades, but they will either cost me or are not what I am looking for and I am pretty much fed up with people saying they want to buy and asking for pics and then never follow through. Might just bang some Nordstrands in her (I prefer Nordstrands over SD Customs) and turn her (have her turned by a luthier of course) into a fretless beast , that way I have a reason to use them both all the time... ha ha ha.

mattbass6 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 My PJ5 has the Norstrands in her and man, they do sound amazing. Look forward to seeing what happens next and hopefully you will save me scrabbling about for the dosh to buy this lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazBeen Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hi Matt, Norwood contacted me about his Usa Spector NSJH5...... I had Spectors for many years and I just could not resist. Not at all what I set out to do, but I am very happy. I now have my Lull V5 for classic and Spector for modern tones which actuallymakes a lot of sense.

mattbass6 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Nice one mate and thanks for the update. The Spector basses are very sweet indeed. I'm actually looking at a modern 24 fret active 5 for the very same reason so yes, makes perfect sense. I would still have loved your bass if I could Have fun and good luck with all you do bud. Cheers, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
