CathalOC Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) TRADED FOR LANEY COMBO 12/12/10 I bought this OLP MM3 5-String new in 2001 when I was playing the bass a lot but never played it enough to develop as a 5-String player. It has been gigged a few times but it was mostly used for studio work between 2001 and 2004. I just got a lovely new guitar from BurritoBass here on Basschat and have no amp to play it through so I want to pass on a good guitar that has not been appreciated by me to someone who has an amp they need to get rid of! I am looking for a practice amp and I am open to all offers. Here are some details on the guitar (some of it is repitition from the above) Its a 5-String OLP MM3 Black body, white scratchplate It is made in China I bought it new in 2001 It cost me 350 pounds I gigged it a few times but used it in the studio mostly It hasn't seen much use in the last six years Ideally I would like to trade with someone who is an hour or less away from me (Coventry). Drop me a line if you are interested or have any questions!

stingrayPete1977 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Is it passive or active and what do the knobs do? Ta Also do you have a FS price? pm it if you would rather,Thanks. p.s dont tell mcnash Im looking at this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathalOC Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Hi Stingray Pete - thanks for showing an interest (or if mcnash is reading - a disinterest) ;-) It's passive and the knobs are vol vol tone. I'm not keen on selling, I'd far prefer a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 No worries , The coils are split like the EBMM 5 then I presume and with both on full it becomes just like a normal humbucker then? I havent really got anything to trade and Im not sure what region we are talking.Any particular amp in question to give us a heads up?Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Love my flametop OLP MM3... did the series/parallel mod and strung it EADGC. It gets taken out to gigs where I don't dare take my more expensive basses - and it does just fine! Whoever gets this will be surprised with how well they play.

CathalOC Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 I never tried that tuning (EADGC)- probably should have! I am looking for a practice amp, probably a combo, around 150W, not too fussy about the make. I'm just hopeful that I could do a convenient swap with someone not too far from Coventry.

stingrayPete1977 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 [b]Busted![/b] I actually have a wanted add up for a 5 stringer as Im lending a Tony Levin OLP 5 at the moment for someone elses project where he wrote the basslines (See Dave barron link below) I dont want to spend too much as I might only use it sparingly and the Tony Levin is always there when I need it anyway.

tazza1 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Your Precision sounded fantastic through it, no hum & crystal clear - it's a beautiful looking bass too, you must be really pleased with it.
