OLP Basses

[Paul S]

I was wondering if anyone knew off hand what the neck width and weight of the EBMM OLP basses were? 4 string. I can't find the info anywhere (though i expect it is out there somewhere!)

42mm at the nut, 62mm at the 21st fret and mine weighs 4.5 kilos exactly. It's a very early one with single P/U.

Thank you muchly, sir. Too wide and heavy for me, as I suspected. One went for not very much on eBay this morning - £84 - and collection only from just up the road in Basildon. I think someone somewhere is happy!

To be honest, I've never been a fan of Stingrays and I don't mean the sound. Tried a few and never felt comfortable but I got this one cheap to defret it and it's really great. Very comfy to play. I have small hands and am not a big guy (despite usually on a 6 string bass) so if you get the chance to try one, do it. Surprised me, I love it.
