Can't remember who it was though. There's also a rewiring mod to get rid of the 2 volume controls - do a search in the 'Repairs and Technical' forum. I never got around to modding mine yet. There's also a Nordstrand pickup available for these basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 Cool. I could do with a 5 - thought I'd start cheap and cheerful but with plenty of upgrade options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obbm Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 One thing to remember about the OLP is that the string spacing at the bridge is 3 1/2-inches compared to 3 3/4-inches on the Stingray 5. This means that the pole pieces of any of the SR5 replacement pick-ups will not sit correctly under the strings. If you can find one, a Sub 5, is a better option as it is the same dimensions as an SR5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Also, the pickups aren't bad anyway, you're better off upgrading the pre-amp to improve the tone, like I may do with my OLP Tony Levin 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
