Selling my recently aquired OLP MM32 5 String Bass.
It's in near mint condition, plays impeccably well, as near as good as any Musicman I've played. In fact, they're now discontinued, and this particular model is very eagerly sought.
Features basswood body, bolt-on North American maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, 34″ scale length, active electronics, two Musicman style pole pickups, 5-way pickup switch, volume and 3-band EQ controls.
This one is in Black Cherry Burst
Was gonna Mod this but am gassing after a lakland on here, this bass however would be a stingray killer when modded with say nordstrand pups and an aguilar preamp, but there are many routes you could go, works great as it is.

[size=5] £300[/size]

Hi,

It was, and is back up there again, could do with shifting it, hence the price drop,

Just sold my Lakland DJ5 to Higgie there.
Couldn't deal with a nicer, more decent bloke, great bass player too, check his you tube vids.
Distance selling on this forum is great, so anybody with any doubts, it can and does work.
Higgie paid promptly, and although there was a delay in delivery due to the backlog after the volcanic ash/flight delays scenario, he was very pleased with the Bass, and I hope himself and the DJ5 have some great gigs together,

[quote name='BigBeatNut' post='810890' date='Apr 18 2010, 11:03 PM']I'm really interested to know how the Audere and the Nordy's worked together. (I know the bass is sold, I'm just getting interested in this pickup/preamp combo)

Andy[/quote]


Hi,

It depends what you're used to, I'm just Fender mad, and know how Active Fenders sound, and this combo don't sound like that.
The Pickups are great and the Audere's fab. The one thing I would say is that it still retains the sound of the DJ5, and enhances it. You can get a lot of variety from pickup selection and toggle switching, just couldn't get that Fender bite that I love.
Not sure if that answers any of you're questions, but as always, it's in the ears and fingers of the beholder.
Have only ever tried Nordstrand and Seymour Duncan's as replacement pickups and have to say I couldn't find too much difference with them, as for the Audere, it's a great piece of kit, was in two minds whether to go DJretro or Audere, as both get similar reviews.
Again, pickups and preamps are different in every bass and between every player, but I would try this combo again in a Jazz Bass scenario

BUMPer for a lower price

[quote name='P-T-P' post='807286' date='Apr 15 2010, 04:12 PM']Can you just clarify...

Dave had fitted Nordstand J and P pick-ups and added a push-pull volume pot. You've added the Audere.

Are both pick-ups in the bass still Nordstrands and then you still have the original two pick-ups (presumably Laklands) and the passive controls and control plate and white scratchplate.

Thanks.[/quote]


Hi,

Sorry only just saw your reply, yeah Dave's pickup arrangement is the same, I just added the Audere, have all the original parts tho, but, tis' now sold pending payment,

Thanks

There's a new dance that's going around, called the Bump, do the Bump

Lest we forget Bump

Time has come to move the Lakland DJ5 to another home [Sorry Dave_Bass I know this is breaking your heart].

Dave is the guy from whom I bought it from on this very forum, and was he who fitted the Nordstrand and Scratchplate, I added the Audere at a cost of around £200, inclusive of fitting.

Words can't describe how beautiful this Bass is to look at, and to hold, anyone who's had one will know what I mean, only reason I'm letting it go is because it's not a Fender, and after all these years, I know now in my heart of hearts I am a Fender Man.

I have this baby on ebay too, currently at £965, which is what I'm looking for it. This is a quality Bass, which is now discontinued, although a few online retailers seem to advertise their last stocks at around the £1100-1300 bracket, and this Bass is in near perfect condition.

As for Trades, I want to sell this to finance my Schroeder Cabs [Am also selling my Fully Flightcased Ashdown 1x15, 2x10 Cab].
Need lightweight cabs, and ideally after 2x12, and 2x15 cabs at 8ohms, these cabs are about 800w handling, so can take one to small gigs, and deafen the singer at bigger nights [well it'll knock his EGO off course for a while, possibly]. Not really looking a 4x12, but if someone comes up with one maybe, also prefer Rhino Hide to that bleedin carpet stuff, but do want lightweight, powerful cabs.

Comes with all the original parts to revert it back to Original.

[quote name='LeoFender' post='803859' date='Apr 12 2010, 04:09 PM']Whats the body/neck balance like on them compared to a jazz?[/quote]


Hi,

It's pretty good, there is a slight lean headstock wise, but really nothing much, the main thing with the Jaguar is the small body wing at the bottom part of the body [is that the right term, sure it's not] this make's it more difficult to balance on your knee, and it also adds to the overall way the bass hangs on you while stood up, compared with a Jazz anyhow, which obviously contributes to the very slight neck dip, but believe me it is slight, the Jazz body is bigger. Overall tho, I much prefer my Jag to a Jazz, but if a Jazz were thrown at me I wouldn't say no, lol,

The GroovyPlucker

Hi,

Just throw in my twopence worth, having had both the Geddy Lee & Marcus Miller Basses, the Jaguar for me beats 'em both for range of tone, looks and playability. If it's the Marcus you need, for the tone, then grand, as it's quite a specific tone, and it's twice as heavy as the Jag, Geddy is also very atonal, if indeed that's a word, lmao, stick with the Jag, one of Fender's best, having tried most of they're models at some point, only thing that is similar in tone variation is the Stu Hamm Urge II, but twice the price, good luck,

The GroovyPlucker

Hi,

Any mediums left, not the ones looking into crystal balls tho,


The GroovyPlucker

[pm me details of payment etc if you can]

Would love it if it were a smaller size, just too much fackin perspective y'see

The GroovyPlucker

There's a chap in the items wanted section who's after a Thunder 1A, but I think he's after a Black Fretted one, but maybe you could check out that forum,

Hi,

Yes, seems to be a good few folks from the island of Ireland, just thought I'd say hi from sunny Portadown,

The GroovyPlucker

I have a Harley Benton Alluminium Style Flight Case I'm looking to trade for a Fender Moulded Bass Case. The Flight Case is in great condition, just too heavy and bulky for the car. Only looking trades for Fender moulded cases though, skb also. The Case is exactly the same as the Warwick Flight Case

Hi,

Before you rush off to get yer Audere from the U.S., you can get them in the U.K. from Bassdirect.co.uk, for about £150.
I just got one and installed it in my Lakland Daryll Jones 5 String, haven't blasted it at a gig yet, but it looks and sounds tasty so far,

Cheers

The GroovyPlucker

Just bought a Lakland DJ5 of Dave, absolutely great. After plenty of discussion, to-ing and fro-ing, we completed the deal. And it arrived safe and in good time due to Dave's attention to detail. The Bass was superbly packed and posted through Parcelforce. So, wholeheartedly recommended.

The GroovyPlucker

Just throw in my tuppence worth, Dave is a great guy to deal with, think a statue in the locale is in order!?

The GroovyPlucker

Achh, There she goes again.
Did you get the Bubinga $$?
