SOLD - OLP Musicman style bass with quality upgrades £275 Chorley, Lancs., PR6

[ead]

For sale is this OLP that I acquired in its original passive V/V/T setup and have modified as follows (the original bits are included in the sale):

 

Stinger '77 2-band EQ

Nordstrand MM4.2 pickup

An ebony thumb rest - using double sided adhesive tape

 

I fitted a battery box separate to the main cavity as it was a bit tight in there with the active EQ as well and this makes for a much better solution.  It's a pretty tidy job if I say so myself although one screw doesn't quite bite properly.

 

The bass is in pretty good condition with a couple of light marks on the body.  The scratchplate is a bit scuffed.  The neck is very nice to move around on and the frets are in good condition.  The bass will come with a decent gig bag.

 

Pickup or meeting preferred but I will post if required for a cost of £25 including insurance.

 

I think these basses were made in China in around 2005-06 and I believe this to be the first series.  It's a comfortable weight at 8.5lbs by my scales and plays nicely.  Here are a few pics.

 

Any questions please ask.

A mate of mine had one of these about 10 years ago. Maybe longer. He used an old Peavey TNT combo (Great old combos) with it and it sounded top. I was really surprised how good it sounded. I never played it but sound wise, it was superb.

I’d definitely have a punt on this if finances were better. GLWTS.

Ok, I'll jump! Been looking something like this for a while and keep putting it off. I'll only kick myself if it goes before I finally go 'yes'.

 

I'll PM but need to take up the post option.
