dangerboy Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 This might be the cheapest way to find out if the Bass VI experience is for you. You don't see these around too often, so it'll be a nice cheap experiment for someone. This is an OLP MM5 baritone with a 30" scale. It's strung (with some very old strings) as a Bass VI, ie a full octave below a normal guitar. It includes a new set of Ernie Ball strings so you'll be ready to go as soon as it arrives. If you're into seriously doomy stuff you could also string this as a very downtuned guitar (I think this is what it was originally designed for, but I'm a bassplayer so I've always seen it as a Bass VI). Those of you with luthier skills could probably turn this into a very nice short-scale 4-string without too much work. Here are the specs: - 30" scale neck - Overall length of 40 inches - 22 frets - Rosewood fretboard - "North American Maple" neck - Basswood body - String-thru bridge - OLP tuners - OLP pickups - 3-way pickup selector - Made in China It's in pretty nice condition, set up well. The finish has the odd mark but nothing as brutal as a proper scratch or chip. I'm looking for £120 plus shipping costs. I live in London if you want to pick it up to save money.
