 A White II....................... Drool!

That would totally do it for me. A vintage white II with chrome hardware.........NR gas cured. At least I think so. Hope so. Maybe?

Let's flog the dead horse...............

 It would look like this  ;D
It took *a little* effort on Mike's part to make those modern improvements.



Mark, what scale is that bird? It looks short. In fact even the body looks small or is that just the angle of the shot?

Mark, how tall are you, really? And if your feets are in line with the rest of you, what size do you draw? If the answer is what it should be, compared to the size of the Bird (and I mean the bass!): Where to get shoes?

And I'll bet if he went commando in that skirt he'd exit vehicles with a LOT more grace than that skank Britney!















I was going to just say I''d bet he wouldn't go commando, but it is Mark we're talking about...  :mrgreen:

 Okay......My rep is at stake here  ;)


I always wear undies when I go out! In fact I make it a point to because well, at some point someone will see up my skirt weather I want them to or not - so I always wear some nice black frilly ones  ;D
As to my size, I'm 6"0" without shoes and can wear a size 8 dress, not bad for 51!
The Lull is deceptive here's a couple pics with a '76 plus a live shot for comparison.


If you look close you'll note a familiar tat on my upper left arm..............Comments welcome  ;D

If you check our "Post your music" thread you can hear this bass played thru my Traynor YBA 200 with the rest of The Nasty Habits covering "Paranoid"

 Errmmmmmmmmmmm............ In Dutch Lull, describes a certain male organ -  ;)

The length of my Lull is not something that I'll share with you here, even tho I like you all, you just don't need to know that much about me  8)

 Re the bass, I haven't ever measured it's scale length, but I belive it to be the same as the Gibson, feels that way to me.

the stop piece on the lull sits further back on the body and it has an extra fret.   lull says 34 scale.  i think the gibsons were 34 1/2 inch.
