markytbass Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I've not long bought the 4 string version of the Dolphin SN and found it a cracking bass. Is there any other reason you would want to sell or change your 5. As with alot of the "odd" shaped basses they are not everyones cup of tea but that shouldn't be a reason for getting a different 5 string. If you like how it sounds and plays, keep it. I don't know anything about the Mike Lull basses so can't comment on how they sound compared to the Warwick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played all sorts of boutique basses that I have absolutely no time for, and several that I've thought were amazing. I've played lots of cheap basses I've had no time for either, and yet have also played several of those that are amazing. It's all about what suits you. You need to try an instrument before you can judge it, as it's all about how it fits [i]your[/i] body, hands and ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way things are with the market you might not get what you want for your bass, so it might be worth waiting until it picks up (if it ever does).

bassjamm Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Mike Lull basses are a very Jazz-like bass mate, the one at the gallery has a very rude sound which i love!!! They're the nuts in my opinion as far as super Jazzes are concerned!!! But i would think they're extremely different to the Dolphin's though mate, and Warwicks in general!

I almost always give the edge to a hand-made bass over a factory bass, but then I'm a bit jaded. kfh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
