Player's Perspective
Chances are that if you've listened to your fair share of bass players, you've probably heard someone rocking a Mike Lull bass (even if, perhaps, you didn't realize it). Music Store Live is very proud to now be an authorized Mike Lull dealer and be able to offer up these amazing basses to you guys!
Mike's instruments are used by bassists in Cheap Trick, CCR, Pearl Jam, Heart, Death Cab for Cutie, Queensryche, The Aristocrats, and supporting artists such as Justin Timberlake, Rhianna, Mariah Carey, Bon Jovi, Allen Stone, Travis Tritt, Blake Shelton, Eric Johnson, Bruce Springsteen, Joe Bonamassa... the list goes on and on and on... The point is that Mike Lull's basses can be found on some of the biggest stages in the world supporting artists in virtually every conceivable genre. Country, pop, hip-hop, R&B, funk, classic rock, hard rock, fusion, blues... There truly just isn't any limit to what these basses can do. Some of the most discerning players in the world choose these basses because they know that it will never let them down!
This is so much more than just a high-end copy of a traditional design. Hand-made in Washington, these basses are the cream of the crop.
This M4V is J-bass through and through, but with some added versatility and a bit of a refined sound to it. You can still run the bass in passive mode and achieve those old-school traditional tones while having access to an active 2-band EQ preamp that adds a hi-fi modern sound to your tonal pallet. Lindy Fralin makes all of his pickups to order and they are some of the best hand-made pickups in the world. These are some of the best true single-coil jazz bass pickups that we've come across. The pickups pair nicely with the Bartolini preamp which helps add a hi-fi and modern touch to the sound to help you get those Marcus Miller-like sounds. Whether you're slapping away on some funk, doing some fingerstyle blues, or rocking hard with a pick, this bass will be able to handle all of that with ease and will give you a tight and defined sound.
The build quality is thoroughly perfect. High-quality lightweight tuners, a super lightweight yet perfectly balanced body, and spot-on immaculate fretwork really help to instantly clarify why these basses are worth what they are. From top to bottom - this beast is a tone monster (and you can rock out for hours on end in extreme comfort with how little it weighs and how beautifully it plays)!
