Mike Lull JT5 (BLACK JANUARY ONLY SALE PRICE DROP £1,600!) - *SOLD* £1750 Bournemouth

[graham1945]

Here we have a beautiful, and close to showroom condition, Mike Lull JT5 five string bass. Only reason for sale is arthritis in my left wrist which is forcing me to return to four string basses - even then it's hard work! 👎

This was handmade in USA and is passive. It is fitted with Mike Lull's take on the Thunderbird type pickups which give great tone, pots are vol vol tone. The scale is 35" and there are 24 frets. Body is swamp ash (beautiful three tone sunburst finish), the neck is one piece maple and graphite reinforced and has a lovely maple fingerboard. Bone at nut is 1. 7/8 inches. It is fitted with Hipshot tuners and bridge. Due to covid the bass has had little use so the finish is still really excellent. I don't have sound clips, but they exist on You Tube. The weight is stated to be 3.9k but it feels lighter to me and is very comfortable on the shoulders and easy to play. I can't add too much more - the pictures reveal all!

I would prefer a face to face meet up and would travel a reasonable distance to deliver. Any questions please ask. You're welcome to come and try it in Bournemouth.

 

I've jut added a few more pics to show the excellent condition of the bass. Neck socket and rear of neck in particular.

Never seen one of these for sale in Europe before. Unfortunately I've just bought a M5V last week (my 4th. overall - I know!) otherwise I would have been interested.
Good luck with the sale. Can't imagine this will be here for long.

Graham has so many beautiful instruments... glad that this light cutie has a blond fretboard.

Nice bass, sorry to hear that why do you have to sell it.  Well I'm not sure your hand will be OK with a 4 string model if the problem is serious, but I hope you 'll find the right one.  GLWTHS!

Hi, Have just got a Fender Custom Shop Jazz bass four string and have strung it BEAD. All's well. Thanks for your concern, my Basschat name gives you a clue to my age! 😂

That's a ridiculously good price. I already have three Lulls (and my brand new @Andyjr1515 'Not A Lull') so I can't really toss my hat in the ring for this one.
