I don't doubt it's an excellent bass for a minute, but I despise the "boutique bass looking like a classic"-concept. If I play a Precision I want it to be from Fender, and a Ric shape has to be from Ric and a TBird shape from Gibson. I'm old-fashioned that way. And if I'd buy a Lull, I'd want it to look like a Lull, just like my Parker Fly looks like no other bass made by anyone else.
But of course there is a market for boutique classics, but it eludes me why. I'd feel more comfortable on stage playing a MIM Fender P than a boutique jewel aping that shape/look. But that's just me.
At the same time I'm not a "'design captured in amber for posterity"-nerd (no, we don't have any of these here!), if Gibson brought out, say, an active TBird with a neck heel truss rod cavity today and called it 21th Century Thunderboy, I'd be perfectly fine with that.
