Yes, that Lull is lush - bit there's just something about that ESP that screams RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWK!!!!

Plus I don't like Gibbys, so it's a damn viable alternative. Kinda reminds me of the basses in the signature line
available in Japan only.

+1 for the fiver version though, that would give me all new levels of GAS...... :)

Thinking about it some more, in absence of any funds to get a Mike Lull, I think I'll have to have a look at the Epiphone Thunderbird Pro V and if I like it get one and have it refinished in solid black to get rid of that horrible stripy neck. Anyone know what the ETA of them is in the UK?

The lower horn is so you can get to the higher frets. Upper fret reach is very hard on a normal thunderbird!

I've never gone higher than the seventh fret on my thunderbird. And even then I've only ventured further than the fifth once or twice by mistake.

That ESP is shoddy - daft bu99ers put the tuners on upside-down. :)
