[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1437723484' post='2828438'] The bridge pickup has been replaced already. It's true that techs seem to have this obsession with replicating the problem and troubleshooting it rather than simply pulling out the pots and just starting over! I'm even thinking that the finish could be contributing somehow...it's a satin/finishing paper in feel. Too much static being generated? We'll see how things go on Sunday... Played it thus morning and it was fine btw. [/quote] Oh gosh, you said 'static', hope it isn't that minefield mate. I totally agree with pulling it all out and starting over too in situations like this. Really hoping this works out for you pal.

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1437714820' post='2828397'] I've been running so many scenarios round in my head you dont know. Maybe it's our power supply, maybe the wireless router, the rug in the room where my amp is, my phone, the time it happens etc. The problem is intermittent and none of my other guitars are affected. Irrespective, I'm monitoring things for the next day or two then will report back. It's flummoxing and very irritating. [/quote] Has anyone checked the wires under the pickup, maybe there is a dodgy attachment? I've had this issue before. It's annoying because some great techs were looking for dodgy connections everywhere, but just as I was about to give up I discovered it was the wires attached to the pickup itself, your wires may have got displaced when being installed or it may be a weak connection? If it's that, or something similar, it's usually intermitent because certain vibrations from you playing it, or slightly knocking it, will cause a brief break in a connection. You may already know all this, but if not focus on how you play next time you look out for it perhaps? Good luck mate, I know exactly what a wind up this can be!

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1437461656' post='2826088'] Sorry Dan. Bet Lull could make you a very splendid one. [/quote] Mmm, now there's a pleasing thought.... I wonder if Santander would mind me missing a few mortgage repayments?

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1437430774' post='2826020'] Already posted elsewhere on the forum but it's good enough to deserve a pic here as well [url="https://flic.kr/p/wfnvph"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/vj29CU"][/url] [/quote] Cheers Gary, that's all need.... Sunburst, fretless, P Bass GAS!

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1437421554' post='2825901'] I don't want to come over all ho-hum as I profess to not being a fan of these repositories, but if we can just keep it at photos rather than pages of gushing quotes about the basses, then OK. [/quote] Who ever read the words printed in Playboy anyway?

There are quite a few pics of Mike Lull basses floating around on BC, I though it'd be nice to get some in one place. I'll start it off with my PJ4 made in 2015. It now has a Lindy Fralin P pickup and a Nordstrand dual coil, with added series/parallel switch. It's a keeper [URL=http://s1381.photobucket.com/user/chiliwailer/media/Lull%20PJ4/image.jpg1_zpsq8u8swv6.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah227/chiliwailer/Lull%20PJ4/image.jpg1_zpsq8u8swv6.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1381.photobucket.com/user/chiliwailer/media/Lull%20PJ4/4BDE43E8-9DC1-4658-9FBC-18D5FE441D3F_zpscrkzxlj3.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah227/chiliwailer/Lull%20PJ4/4BDE43E8-9DC1-4658-9FBC-18D5FE441D3F_zpscrkzxlj3.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='tonyxtiger' timestamp='1437321233' post='2825060'] To confirm then, these two piggies are mine. Here they are having a lie down earlier. [/quote] What a lovely pair Maybe we should start a Mike Lull thread....

[quote name='Bassnut62' timestamp='1437060826' post='2823295'] Ta Chili I know you were impressed with that bit of sensible acquisition going completely off-piste due to GAS; so check this out........ [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/261200-3-door-estate-cars/page__st__30__gopid__2823292#entry2823292"]http://basschat.co.u...92#entry2823292[/url] [/quote] That looks great pal, proper classic, exactly what you need to turn up to that gig in style.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1437056554' post='2823247'] Well looking at your location your really not that far away, I could pop over with the Wals one day and have a blast on the Lull if you wouldn't mind? ...although perhaps that's a bad idea as it inevitably going to lead to me wanting to buy another bass... [/quote] PM'd mate

[quote name='Bassnut62' timestamp='1436686120' post='2819893'] Used the Phaser, Autoswell, Chorus and Flanger at gig last night.....fantastic sound! [/quote] That's great man, really pleased you're chuffed with it

That looks great, love the burst and strong grain showing through. Awesome value you got there too, enjoy!

[quote name='Sammers' timestamp='1436962996' post='2822345'] What a beaut, love the colour! Being a P, what's the neck like? Jazz-esque or a bit chunkier like a modern P? If I had the chance to get another I would in a heartbeat, I got quite lucky picking up a used 1.. especially being a lefty! [/quote] You did get lucky! These ones have a J neck 1.5, though they also come with a vintage width P neck too, 1.75. I had a P4 with a 1.75 and it was the nicest wide neck I'd ever played. I actually prefer the P neck on a P Bass but as these have the bridge pickup it'll make me play differently at times to the way I usually play a regular P, so the J neck does a great job for me. In all honesty, these are the most comfortable necks I've ever had. [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1436964183' post='2822368'] What a lovely colour... I've not had the pleasure of playing a lull but they seem very highly regarded. ...something else on the bloody GAS list [/quote] The feelings mutual, your Wal's are stunning and pure envy fodder

Alberto bought a bass from me recently, he has been the perfect buyer as well as friendly a reliable. Communication was easy, overseas payment went through with no issues or delays and it was a quick and easy transaction. It's my pleasure to start Alberto's feedback thread, I have a feeling he may buy one or two more basses! Cheers

[quote name='PauBass' timestamp='1436898750' post='2821900'] Wow, stunning basses you have there! After having bought mine and seeing how good they are, no wonder you have ordered a second one Congratulations, enjoy it! [/quote] Cheers pal. I'm so glad I did order another. I can't believe how different they sound yet how perfectly the same they feel and react to the way I dig in and play. I'm one very happy bunny

[quote name='zawinul' timestamp='1436722774' post='2820230'] Nice Lull, need al lined fretless though and a little bot over budget!!!! How good are Lull basses? [/quote] In my opinion....THAT good. It was their light weight that drew me to them, however I'm now smitten by their general vibe, they are the amazing Fenders that Fender never made. Perhaps the same for Thunderbirds too? Plus he has some great other models in the range. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of a good Fender Custom Shop, but my Lull's are just so different yet based on a Fender. There's so many great basses and makers out there, for me it's all about finding the maker that matches your ideals, for me that's Lull. However I don't expect everyone to fall for them like I have.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1436722132' post='2820217'] Life is short. You may as well accumulate as many Lulls as possible before you join the choir invisible... Your descendants will thank you... [/quote] Bro, is all this to justify your soon to be huge Shergold collection? But yeah, the thought has crossed my mind, I could never have enough Lull's to honest. Found my thang.
