SOLD - OLP MM Four string with Seymour Duncan pickup and 3 band SD pre-amp

[wildman]

I bought this bass in April/May this year from Jose (mcnach), and since then a couple of things happened.

1. I was after the Stingray sound for the band I was playing with at the time and because of the modifications, this bass does it pretty well. However I found the neck very wide after my Jazz. 42mm at the nut.

2. That could have been overcome with practice, however since then, the band I was with broke up and I've decided to go back to my Fender Jazz as my "go to" instrument.

So I am offering this for sale for what I paid for it. I have (with Jose's permission), "borrowed" a couple of his photos, but I have some of my own and can send them on request.

I never gigged this, only rehearsed a couple of times, so its in the same condition as when I received it.

Its a much modified OLP MM 4 string

The original electronics are all gone. The pickup is now an alnico Seymour Duncan SMB4A, wired in parallel, Stingray style. Electronics are Seymour Duncan STC3M3 3-band preamp, their Stingray model. Battery access via the cavity on the rear of the bass and within the vcavity you can find a trim pot thath controls where the tone cut off occurs, thus allowing a wide variety of tones.

Its a powerful bass, much more powerful than my Jazz if the truth be known.

According to Jose, the bass was set up by Rory Dowling, luthier and founder of Taran Guitars in Edinburgh and the fretwork is perfect. Rory also rolled the edge of the fretboard so it has none of the rough edges that you sometimes find in off the shelf OLPs.

The bass is currently strung with a pretty fresh set of D'Addario XL170 (45-100) and mid-low action. I havent adjusted it since buying it from Jose.

I am looking for £200 which is what I paid for it. Yes its more than the stock OLP, but this is a lot of bass for the money.

Pictures borrowed from Jose's original listing...any questions please let me know.

Cheers, John

This is an excellent bass, and I can vouch for 'wildman' as a great guy to deal with.

That bass and I had a lot of great times together. I hope it finds another good home soon. It deserves to be played
