For sale is my stunning Mike Lull M4V (modern vintage with active circuit) Jazz bass in sunburst. It comes with the Batrolini preamp and Fralin pickups and plays and sounds wonderful. Controls are vol/blend/treble/ stacked mid and bass pot (passive bypass on the treble pot when pulled out).

Weight-wise it's the lightest bass I've owned (under 8lbs) and the neck is simply superb. It's an Ash body and the neck has a stunning maple neck (the fingerboard is gorgeous birds eye).

The action/playability is lovely and low so it's an easy, effortless bass to play. Each one is hand-built by Mike Lull and fully PLEKD at the workshop.

It also comes with a brand new Protec Contego Gigbag and one black and one white pickguard.

Condition-wise it's mint apart from a tiny ding just above the strap button on the top horn. I managed to do it while changing the original strap pins to Schaller straplocks :(

Unfortunately due to work commitments, I can't justify 2 basses of this quality and value, so the last one in has to go.

I'm looking for £1,750 for this. Current retail price is well over £2k with this spec and with the active electronics. It can be picked up from either Woking (weekends) or Bristol (weekdays). I would also be happy to post.

No trades please :)

Nick, is the Aquilar eq 3-band or 2-band and does it have a passive switch with passive tone control? Also is it configured as Vol/Vol or Vol/Blend? Thanks

Hi Ian

Apologies but it's actually the Bartolini preamp. Not sure where I got Aguilar from

Controls are vol/blend/treble/stacked mid and bass pot. There's passive bypass on. The treble pot (a pull out).

Hehe, the voice of temptation! I love the '57 Dan, it's a great player and gets regularly gigged. I've reverted completely to using my old Fenders since getting it. Coming over all vintage in my old age! I do like this M4V though ...

That's wondeful to hear Ian, that '57 P deserves to be regularly gigged, such a beauty - I fondly remember that huge tone and killer neck! :gas:

Yeah, back to this L-O-V-E-L-Y MV4, if I didn't already have hopes on a MV5 when I visit Mike Lull in September I reckon I'd have a very hard time not going for this one. Great bass, my fave colour and a stunning maple neck....hmm indeed!

Will someone please take this before I do something I regret involving selling a kidney...

Well, I was going to suggest that kidneys don't hold their value these days, but I guess that depends whose it is... :blink:
