I recently bought this bass from Addison and it is simply wonderful.I don't want to sell but unfortunately I have too.It hasn't left my home since I received it.You can reference the info in the For sale:sold section to reference the pics and info.I will post other pics tonight or tomorrow.I need the money for a down payment on a home.To tell you all the truth,this sucks.I've had a ton of basses in my day but this one is a champ.I'd like to recoup my money at $1900 plus shipping.This will go down with a few select others that I'd love to have back.I'm gonna be busy the next couple days so it might take me a minute to check on inquiries.For the guys with my phone number already feel free to text me.I prefer shipping to the U.S. and Canada.I also have a Phil Jones 6 pak with the 9b extension cab that I'll be selling as well.I just don't need the juice that little monster can throw out there.I have to collect as much cash as I can for the down payment.

Buying a home is exciting stuff but I feel your pain at having to liquidate gear. I would jump at this but am having no luck selling my gear at the moment to generate cash. Good luck though!

BUMP...$1800 PLUS ACTUAL SHIPPING.This bass is fantastic and Addison's description is accurate.It's a dream to play and the tone of this one covers anything at anytime.This is the second Lull I've owned and they are impeccably built.I snagged the 25th anniversary Ken Smith and the Lull 4 from Jim at Atlanta Bass Gallery.It was a great weekend for sure.Mikes basses are just great and he's also readily available like a good builder should be.If anyone wants any pics that haven't been seen just contact me and I'll take pics and send via email or text.I've been tied up alot lately so I apologize for not posting additional pics.The bass hasn't left my house since I got it from Chris so his pics are still accurate of it's condition.I recently picked up a Phil Jones 6 pak with the 9b extension cab and the Lull along with the rig will give you heart palpitations.I left all the EQ'ing flat and just used the Nordy pre in the bass and it was just Valhalla of tone.I don't want to sell anything really but I have to get out of the neighborhood I've been living in soon.I've been robbed and had a car stolen out of my driveway recently.Welcome to the Detroit area.I can't bring myself to leave like alot of my friends have but we got some of the most amazing cats here that you don't find anywhere but here.You gotta bring it in Detroit no matter of style.There's just something about it alot of people don't understand unless you've been here.Anyway..This is a great bass and I hope someone here is interested soon.Thanks guys.

Man, I'd love to have this bass if it was 1 lb lighter. . . Great price and beautiful instrument.

And if I'm not mistaken, here's a video of said bass. You are baddass player, Chris!

I may be able to make a serious offer as early as Monday as I have a deal pending locally. I will update ASAP!

1 lb lighter?It's real light for a 5 string.I'm no big guy or young and I could strap this on for an entire night.Really it's not cumbersome at all.A joy to play too.

I wish I was more tolerant to weight, but 1 lb makes a huge difference to me. I just did 3 days of gig back to back, and even with my 8.5-lb Sting Ray, my back and shoulder were pretty sore, and I use the best strap money can buy. . .

Anyhow, I know that 9.6 lb is very reasonable for a 5-string bass. . .
