Sibob Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hi all Continuing my little clearout I have my OLP 'Thing'Ray for sale! It's a stock OLP Stingray (albeit with the decal rubbed off) with the following mods: -Bartolini pickup -John East 2-band, 18 Volt preamp, active/passive pull pot on the volume, parallel/series switch -Schaller tuners I'm not sure what wood the body is, it's a good weight, probably 9lbs ish but can double check. I would normally assume it's basswood, but I was under the impression that basswood had very little grain!?, and this has grain in abundance. The body has some bumps and dings in line with a bass that has been heavily gigged, but nothing too serious, the lacquer is pretty thick! The fingerboard could do with a little clean (I'm not really o fey with cleaning maple), it has some flame in it and some tiny flecks of birdseye on the headstock. Nut width is: 42mm String spacing at bridge is approx 18mm (string edge to string edge) Think thats about it! I have a rectangular hardcase that I'll include for £15 I will post, but I would prefer collection so that the potential buyer can look over the bass in person I would also consider a part ex for an octave pedal, preferably a Boss OC2 or OC3......I would MAYBE consider an Orange Bass Terror as well, obviously with money from me....but that depends on another possible purchase in the pipeline.

Sibob Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Just a tiny bump for the added part ex ideas: - Boss octave pedal - maybe an Orange Bass Terror with money from me Cheers Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon1964 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Bargain! The pre-amp and pickup are worth the asking price on their own. I've already got a John East equipped 'ray, otherwise I would have this in a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 Thanks Si! Yeah, I think the battery rout, pickup and East preamp cost me £200! So thats the Schaller tuners, and a bass for £20 lol The East is lovely, actually the only active preamp I've ever gotten on with!

Musicman69 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Sounds like a very good deal, glad I live in Ireland else Id be buying way too many basses. Good luck with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 Some offers/interest here and there, but still available I should mention that the neck width is similar to that of a Precision, fairly wide, but still very playable. I can try and do some sound samples if you want, but my personal opinion is that by the time I've recorded it DI, you've streamed it as an mp3 out of your PC speakers, it's going to sound wildly different than plugged into your <amp brand>....but its your call. This is why I advocate trying it yourself I'm in and out of London all the time btw, so thats not an issue if you're based that way Cheers Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tut Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I think you'll find the body is made of Elm. Doesn't naturally spring to mind as a tonewood - bu t I had the 5 string version - was awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 If someone buys my Spector 5 for the price of this & delivery, then I'll have it, but alas no love for 3 band Legends for £250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 Bump for the following specs added to the OP: Nut width is: 42mm String spacing at bridge is approx 18mm (string edge to string edge) and also extra pics of the case (should it be required), flame on fingerboard, headstock (sans decal), underside body damage (worst example on the bass), small impact in neck. [b]I've had one or two people after the case on its own, this is a special £15 price if included with the bass, if the purchaser of the bass doesn't want the hardcase for that amount, I'll sell the case for £25[/b] Cheers Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
