New Mike Lull PJ4. Not even an hour playing time on this one. It has to go 'cause I need the funds for personal reasons that I didn't know about when I ordered this bass).

Specs:

Body: swamp ash
Color: sherwood green
Neck: maple, graphite reinforced
Fingerboard: BRAZILIAN rosewood, 7.25" radius, MOP dot inlays
Scale: 34"
Frets: 20, medium jumbo
Nut: 1.5", bone
Tuning machines: Hipshot Ultralites, D-tuner
Pickups: Lindy Fralin
Electronics: Aguilar OBP-1 (18v), active/passive switchable (tone control works in both active and passive modes)
-> layout: vol/bal/tone (push/pull for active/passive)/stacked EQ
Weight: about 8 lbs

Other:

shielded completely
PLEK'ed
Schaller straplocks pre-installed
comes with custom made original hardshell case

Retail on this bass was $4xxx, shipping costs $300, duties and taxes $635. Please keep in mind that this bass is NEW. I also have the certificate from Mike Lull that this bass was built in September 2010, as well as the form of UPS to confirm that this bass has arrived at my house only a few days ago (end of September 2010).

I'm looking to sell this bass in person, so no shipping at the moment. I'm open to offers, but keep it reasonable, please. You can find pics here: http://www.mikelull.com/PJ4%20Lefty%20M ... 0Build.htm. For more detailed pics or other questions you may always send me an e-mail: the_musicfreak@hotmail.com.

EDIT: in case you didn't notice: I'm located in Antwerp, Belgium.

Thanks for looking.

wow - considering the CITES restrictions on endangeres species trafficking, how were you able to obtain a USA made instrument with a Brazilian Rosewood fretboard? This has definitely got to be a rare beast in Europe

all the best,

Doesn't that depend on how old Mike Lull's stock was?

I guess so. Roger Sadowsky offers Brazilian rosewood too. When I was in NYC this summer, I spoke with Kevin of Sadwosky about it, and he told me it's a pile of wood Roger bought a few decades ago. I guess there are some piles of that wood still available from the time it was still allowed, but don't quote me on that, just a guess.

Or it is the same, or it's its identical twin... Weird indeed. However, I ordered it through them, so they might have used it for photographic purposes... Just a guess, though.

I wonder if they mistakenly ordered your bass twice... ?

I've had email discussions with Beaver Felton about lefties before and he made it sound like stocking them is a total pain in the ass... and the only lefties they ever really order for stock these days are very generic popular models like black Stingrays, etc. He won't accept any lefty trade offers either... I've tried.

I'm probably wrong, but, to me, it seems very odd that they would order a lefty Mike Lull bass with such unique features unless it was a mistake or duplicate order of some kind.

French luthier Christian Noguera (awesome luthier BTW) also offers Brazilian Rosewood on his bass :

This came for his quite old stock of wood... maybe one of the best wood for bass lutherie winthin France.
