Back on track:

Fellow Baschatter [b]hiriam.k.hackenbacker [/b]has kindly PMd me with his views on the Bryan Beller model and I think I'm now more sold on it than I already was!
It seems to tick many of the boxes for me: weight, narrow neck, tone..shame I can't try one before buying it :(
Although it's a long journey from Brighton, I'll see if I can take a trip to Bass Direct and try the pink Modern 5 they have in stock.

I popped into Bass Direct this morning and I hate to do this to you but Mark has some really nice Lulls (and other makes) hanging on the wall

Already planning my trip to Bass Direct to try the Lulls as soon as possible :gas:

Get one, I owned an M5V and a PJ5, both great basses. The M5 or BB will be as well built and if the specs are what you want........ you will not be disappointed. The only thing I would say is that the 35" scale I had on both gave a great B string, but I did find the D and especially the G not to "sing" as much as I had liked. But I find that with most 35"scale basses. He also makes 34"scale basses so WHEN I buy another Lull it will be the 34"scale for me, passive, and I will love it for sure.

You rarely see an ugly Lull bass.

I didn't like the headstock shape much when I first saw them but it's kinda grown
on me.

I had a black modern jazz of the Lull stable last year for a bit and it was a fine piece of kit.



At the price I would have expected nothing less, but you get what you pay for. Quality.

Thanks for all the comments!

It really is a great bass, top quality all around, I'm glad I went with it, this is by far the most comfortable and best 5 strings bass I have ever played! ...and that's been a few :)

I'm very picky when it comes to balance, neck dimensions, action, sound... and this bass has it all!
Even with the downsized jazz body, it balances perfectly and the bass is not too heavy for a 5 string. My favourite feature has to be neck, it is so easy to play, the asymmetric neck is a nice feature, it really helps and makes playing effortless, nice low action with no fret buzz, the birdseye fingerboard is beautiful and the bass stays in tune forever.

With regards to the tone, its a beautiful sounding instrument, a bit more aggressive and bright than traditional jazz basses, it has plenty of bite and attack, main reason for me buying this bass... but it can be tamed down and get your old school P and Jazz bass sounds with no problems, the notes ring evenly all across the strings and neck and really it shines on any music style.

...So, as you can see, a very happy new Mike Lull owner here! :D

It wouldn't be this one, by any chance, would it?

Not that one pal, mine is a far riskier colour! :)

That one is terrific value though, just not the spec i favour.
