***ON HOLD UNTIL FRIDAY*** Hand made in Seattle, this is a stunning bass. As well as having a top end tone it's very light weight with perfect balance (not always the case with light basses). The neck pocket states that this was made for the 2015 NAMM show, it's something special and the neck is the nicest I've seen on a Lull. I bought it new from Bass Direct in May 2015. Weighs dead on 8lbs. Ash body, maple neck with Jazz nut width 1 1/2". It has a Nordstrand Dual Coil bridge pickup and a retro fitted Lindy Fralin Precision pickup. It originally came with a Nordstrand Precision pickup, which though good quality was too modern sounding and coloured for me. The two pickups work so well together on this bass, it's a great match as you can now have a vintage style Fender tone or modern tone when both are on, or when the bridge is solo'd. It's worn flats all it's life so the frets are spot on. It now has rounds on for the sale. There is a small ding which I'll photo, nothing major at all and some superficial scratches and knocks. There is also a small mark on the neck where I smoothed out a tiny ding, it can't be felt at all when playing. It used to have a working toggle switch, which is no longer wired up, so there is a new hole in the pickguard. I will also include a black Mike Lull made pickguard in the sale which does not have the new hole. Comes with Lull certificate and Protec Case. This is a very reluctant sale. I've decided today to increase my share of the 'part rent/part buy flat' I live in so the funds from this bass will pay for the fees and solicitors. Those that know me, will know that I thought this was a keeper, but I recently cleared my savings out buying back my old 66 Precision, so rather than make that mistake again I'm selling this one. Not an easy choice, but a Lull won't be as hard a bass to buy again in the future. NO TRADES PLEASE - 100% genuine reason for sale. Sorry, I really can't post at the moment so it's collection only from Harrow, NW London/Middx. I'm close to Harrow & Wealdstone station which is 15 minutes from London Euston on a fast train. **CLICK ON ANY PICTURE TO BE LINKED TO MORE** [URL=http://s1381.photobucket.com/user/chiliwailer/media/Lull%20PJ4/IMG_1517_zpsrclhxc1r.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah227/chiliwailer/Lull%20PJ4/IMG_1517_zpsrclhxc1r.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1381.photobucket.com/user/chiliwailer/media/Lull%20PJ4/IMG_1510_zpsuqm0a4ux.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah227/chiliwailer/Lull%20PJ4/IMG_1510_zpsuqm0a4ux.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1493470074' post='3288591'] I did try LaBellas on it first off as I'd liked them previously but they didn't quite feel right to me on this bass. I preferred the TIs to the rounds it's currently sporting but if I keep it I think I'll give chromes a go. [/quote] I like TI's, but oddly never as much on my 60's basses. I reckon Chromes might seal the deal for you, they compliment my 66P very well. Good luck with the sale, or working it out.

2814 set, 45,65,80,100. Very bright flats, with a modern tone that lean more towards rounds, but feeling very smooth. I still use these strings on my P and J Basses but have a used spare set. These were on one of my P Basses for a week, then on and off my Music Man Sabre 2 times (G String wasn't cut short). In that time I put a new set on my P and then took these off the Sabre. They haven't seen a great deal of use, but as they've been on and off a few times the purple silk is frayed and missing in places at the headstock end. Collection from Harrow for £20 or I can post on Wednesday 3rd for £23. Cheers.

Rob, have you tried her with Chromes or LaBella? Would be a lovely bass to keep for those occasions of variance.
