In truth, I had no idea a bass could blow off a bass bar like that. From now on I'll just lay it down on its back in its gigbag, on the ground next to me. Incidentally, the entire fingerboard popped clean off, two seams opened, and the soundpost moved. I took it to the nearest DB specialist today ... £180 to put it back together.

Happy Jack Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 That's my utterly gorgeous and uber-lightweight Mike Lull 54P. I bought it from a guy in Denmark because ... erm ... well, I liked the colour actually. To my complete amazement, it became my instant go-to bass for anything needing a chunky 4-string sound. It has fought off some very serious opposition to achieve that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pah, all this when for once I wasn't actually wearing a mask at all! (What with us being outdoors etc.) 16 minutes ago, Happy Jack said: That's my utterly gorgeous and uber-lightweight Mike Lull 54P.

It has fought off some very serious opposition to achieve that. It has also fought off several attempts by other bassists to buy it. No, it's NOT for sale. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staggering on Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 So did you get to try it with the ToneDexter pedal before the accident? Good to hear the damage to your bass wasn't more serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the photo, "whatever is holding this one up" is four more petite women wearing sensible dresses, hidden from view by the body of the bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
