Happy News
« on: March 11, 2011, 01:55:23 PM »

So some (to me) exciting news.

 As most of you guys know I really like Mike Lull's Thunderbird pickups, ever since getting my Lull bass I've be impressed with them and have retro fitted several of my basses with them. I have pimped them a lot here and on Talkbass because I felt they are a great pick up. Several guys here have tried them and like them, their opinions are much like mine. So on a recent visit to the shop I brought up the notion of becoming an endorser with Paul, Mike's GM, he was enthusiastic (I was surprised!) and
as of this afternoon I'll be an endorsing artist for Mike Lull's T Bass pickups - I'm both happy and very proud to make the association.
 Since the question is likely to arise, I don't mind saying that part of the deal was that I did not want any kind deal (i.e. money, discount etc.), I'll continue to pay what anybody else does.


Me, my Lull and I.

Congrats, Mark - although I figured you more for a spokesmodel ;D

That's very cool, congratulations! And even cooler that you haven't sold out to the man.

 Just get this on the body part of your choice Herr Moderator................I'll be honored.
Since it'll be your first tattoo I'd suggest a butt cheek - much less painful  ;)
