mattbass6 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) Tech Spec from the Bass Direct site - [color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Hand built by master craftsman, Mike Lull and his team of skilled luthiers in Seattle, Lull basses have been making fine quality instruments since 1977. Mike's interpretation of the classic Leo Fender designed "Precision" bass takes the build and playability to a whole new level with a 35" scale giving a fully functioning, tight B string for ease of playability and extended range. Lightweight, fully seasoned instrument grade wood is combined with the finest components for a really advanced bass guitar experience. Classic tones with more depth, range and variety than the original, a real "players" bass for the 21st Century.[/size][/font][/color] [list] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][font=Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Mike Lull PJ5 - [/font](List price £3250)[/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Lightweight Swamp Ash Body[/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Black three ply [/size][/font][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]pick guard[/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Trans Blackburst finish[/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Maple one piece graphite reinforced neck[/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Contoured neck/heel[/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Maple fingerboard, 12" radius[/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]21 frets[/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Bone nut, 1 7/8" width at nut[/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]35" scale[/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Black dot inlays[/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Volume, Volume, Passive tone[/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Nordstrand P and humcancelling J pickups (£150 option)[/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Full electrostatic shielding[/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Hipshot,_Bridges,_Tuners.html"]Hipshot "A" style aluminium bridge[/url] in chrome 18mm string spacing[/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Hipshot,_Tuners.html"]Hipshot ultralight tuners[/url] in chrome[/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Instrument fully Pleck'd[/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3][url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Protec_Gig_Bags.html"]Protec Contego case[/url][/size][/font] [*][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Weight: 3.7kg/8lb 2oz[/size][/font] [/list] Edited November 10, 2013 by mattbass6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Nice bass! Don't be afraid to play the thing, take it on tour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbass6 Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 I did and it scared the hell out of me. That's not good. I have a Fender P 5 string that is dinged up, which is just perfect to take on the road without worrying lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Coffee Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I understand the fear factor. You just hate the first ding on a bass....! Lovely bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbass6 Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) I have and luckily it hasn't had one yet, hence why I'm selling. Thanks Edited November 4, 2013 by mattbass6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Such a shame you're selling this Matt but I know exactly where you're coming from - I ended up selling my dream guitar (A USA Hamer Standard) because I couldn't even take it out of it's case without having a panic attack.

mattbass6 Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) I know bud and, that is exactly how I feel. That's not what a bass is for. My P bass I look after really well but as it came to me dinged up, I can just enjoy it. A shame but, at least I can say I've owned one Edited November 4, 2013 by mattbass6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Lovely bass. Do yourself a favour, stand it in a corner on a stand and throw your door keys at it. You'll cry for a bit and die a little inside (most of us do) but then you'll have a great bass to take on tour, worry free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first cut is always the deepest but I'm always a bit relieved when it happens. After that you can stop worrying and just enjoy playing something special. Nice looking beast and I'm sure it sounds lovely. Have an 'I'd be tempted but I've just bought a Sandberg PJ5' style bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbass6 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 I do agree but I'm just not prepared to go through it with this bass. Daft as it sounds, I can't get past it so, it must go and someone else can deal with it Love those Sandberg basses as well. Those relic'd ones look particularly tasty Cheers.

2004gdavi Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Sell an instrument for the cash and not to protect it. After all you won't be able to do that when someone else has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbass6 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) What someone else does with it, is clearly up to them ha ha ha ha I'm selling it because I'm not using it as it should be used.

mattbass6 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 I've come to my senses at last, this is definitely not for sale and therefore, now withdrawn. This bass is one of the most amazing instruments I have ever played. Mike Lull has created a dream bass and I just cannot let it go. Thanks for all the comments - you are right, I'm just going to play it and enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
