PauBass Posted June 8, 2015 Author Posted June 8, 2015 Back on track: Fellow Baschatter [b]hiriam.k.hackenbacker [/b]has kindly PMd me with his views on the Bryan Beller model and I think I'm now more sold on it than I already was! It seems to tick many of the boxes for me: weight, narrow neck, tone..shame I can't try one before buying it Although it's a long journey from Brighton, I'll see if I can take a trip to Bass Direct and try the pink Modern 5 they have in stock.

fretmeister Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 The BB model appeals to me too. The neck (from the specs - I've never played one) seems to be in the same sort of area as a Stingray 5, but added to some chunky single coils. I like that idea! Quote

HazBeen Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Get one, I owned an M5V and a PJ5, both great basses. The M5 or BB will be as well built and if the specs are what you want........ you will not be disappointed. The only thing I would say is that the 35" scale I had on both gave a great B string, but I did find the D and especially the G not to "sing" as much as I had liked. But I find that with most 35"scale basses. He also makes 34"scale basses so WHEN I buy another Lull it will be the 34"scale for me, passive, and I will love it for sure. Quote

IanA Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 What a stunning bass, I particularly like the fretboard 😍 Quote
Sibob Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Really nice fingerboard, birdseye, but not over the top! Si Quote
Chiliwailer Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 She's a beauty! Glad it turned out good for you, thought as you hadn't posted it'd gone Pete Tong Happy? Quote
Black Coffee Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) You rarely see an ugly Lull bass. I didn't like the headstock shape much when I first saw them but it's kinda grown on me. I had a black modern jazz of the Lull stable last year for a bit and it was a fine piece of kit. At the price I would have expected nothing less, but you get what you pay for. Quality.

PauBass Posted July 1, 2015 Author Posted July 1, 2015 Thanks for all the comments! It really is a great bass, top quality all around, I'm glad I went with it, this is by far the most comfortable and best 5 strings bass I have ever played! ...and that's been a few I'm very picky when it comes to balance, neck dimensions, action, sound... and this bass has it all! Even with the downsized jazz body, it balances perfectly and the bass is not too heavy for a 5 string. My favourite feature has to be neck, it is so easy to play, the asymmetric neck is a nice feature, it really helps and makes playing effortless, nice low action with no fret buzz, the birdseye fingerboard is beautiful and the bass stays in tune forever. With regards to the tone, its a beautiful sounding instrument, a bit more aggressive and bright than traditional jazz basses, it has plenty of bite and attack, main reason for me buying this bass... but it can be tamed down and get your old school P and Jazz bass sounds with no problems, the notes ring evenly all across the strings and neck and really it shines on any music style. ...So, as you can see, a very happy new Mike Lull owner here!

Chiliwailer Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Ok, you sold me, now I want one Really chuffed for you mate! Quote
Chiliwailer Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 I pulled the trigger on another PJ4 today, looking forward to Saturday morning Quote
GrammeFriday Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 It wouldn't be this one, by any chance, would it? http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Mike_lull_PJ4.html Quote

That one is terrific value though, just not the spec i favour. Quote
