Greg is stocking some lefties; two Lulls (one was Lefty007's I think) and a Roscoe on the way:

I've bought two basses from Rocket; Greg is a great guy to deal with.

Nice! Yes, that's my former Lull, which I will try to get back if I can. I have a 5-string Lull on order, and would love to get this one back as well. Just waiting and hoping to sell my Ibanez and Sadowsky soon. Anybody? For Sale Section? Please?

Greg rules.

Carlos, I thought you ordered a fretless Roscoe?

I wanted to, but I thought their list price was a MSRP price list, which is subject to a 20% discount; but their current price list is actual street prices. And on top of that they had raised their prices. Roscoe won't do a Standard with 34" scale, you need to get a Custom for that (and I really wanted 34" instead of 35"), so we where talking about a $4000+ bass (and as plain as they come) and I didn't want to spend that much.

I ended up ordering a JT5 Lull, 5-string Jazz Bass with Thunderbird pickups, passive, mahogany body and neck, natural finish, oh, and 34"-scale . . .

Man! You buy and sell stuff so fast it is difficult to follow you but this Lull sounds yummy. I have always loved those basses.

LOL @ Frenchy, and yes, AzWhoFan, under 9lb for sure.

Yeah, man, I've been out of control a bit, although I don't have a lot of disposable income, but having kids, having the same steady (sometimes boring) job for 8 years, and having the same (sometimes boring) band for 12 years, trying basses and "perfecting" my rig is one thing that keep me excited. First-world problems, I know.

Funny thing, I always seem to come back full circle to Fender 4-strings, damn it. What a waste of money through the years. And the 4-string vs. 5-string war inside my head is never ending. . . :roll:

But the state of the market is slowing me a bit. . . it's getting so hard to sell lefty basses. In contrast, I just revamped my amps, cabinet and my pedalboard, and I sold all my old stuff in 2 weeks at either eBay or Talkbass - really fast.

Lefties are broke!
