Mike Lull PJ4 custom colour bass and Protec Contego case
I'm selling my beautiful Mike Lull PJ4 bass, complete with a choice of pickups and superb Protec Contego case. It's a stunning instrument, with passive electronics, bought less than a year ago, and I've taken very good care of it since then. It's the lightest, and best balanced bass I've ever played in 30 years as a bassist. It also has a stunning, fast neck, with the smoothest finish I have ever played. It comes with a choice of two sets of pickups. From new, it was fitted with a Lindy Fralin PJ set (standard neck, + 10% overwound bridge according to the tech support guys at Lull), but I've swapped them for a Hot Rod (formerly Wizard Pickups) Thumper and J84 set. It is a straight swap to put the Fralins back in, and both sets of pickups are included in the sale. I found the Fralins were brighter pickups, more transparent and wonderfully articulate; the Hot Rods are darker, louder and more thumpy, which is the sound I was looking for. But either might suit you depending on your preference - its a simple job to swap them back. These basses are handmade by Mike Lull's small team in the USA's Pacific Northwest. This one is known as Trans Baby Blue is a custom colour, and is a very subtle sunburst, with opaque edges but showing off the ash grain slightly in the centre. I've not seen any others in this colour, and Trans Baby Blue isn't offered as an option on the Lull website. Specs: Lightweight, swamp ash body Maple one-piece graphite reinforced neck Rosewood fingerboard, 12" radius with 21 frets Bone nut, inches wide 34" scale Controls are a master volume, pan and master tone. Hipshot A style bridge (19mm string spacing) and Hipshot ultralight tuners Weight 3.7kg The bass is essentially in brand new condition – I'm very careful with my instruments, and it's seen light use only over the last 12 months. There is no fret wear at all. It's currently strung with D'Addario Nickel EXL165 round wounds, gauge. It came new nicely set up with medium/low action, and I haven't had to touch it. It comes with a really nice Protec Contego semi-rigid case which is in great condition apart from one small handle on the back which has become detached from the main case – you can either reattach it or remove it completely, as it doesn't affect the use of the case (as shown in pic). These are brilliant cases, which are very strong yet light, and have lots of storage for spares/cables/music/tuner etc. I've carefully stored this in its case at home in a pet-free, smoke-free house. I am looking for £, which includes both sets of pickups, and a spare parchment Mike Lull scratch plate, which is in used condition with some light scuffs etc. This bass cost me £ back in autumn , so this is a saving of more than £700 on the cost of a new one. I'm also happy to offer this bass with just the Lindy Fralin pickups reinstalled and to adjust the price accordingly. Meet up or collection preferred within reasonable distance of Leicester.
