OLP MM3 + Status Graphite Neck SOLD

[dr.funk]

Never thought I would sell this rather unique bass but I am off to uni in September and after a rather expensive Interrail trip need to drum up some cash.

Here is the spec of the OLP:
Body: Basswood Maple top
[s]Neck: North American Maple
Fingerboard: Rosewood
Fingerboard: Maple on Natural Only
Frets: 22 Jumbo [/s]
Scale: 34"
Hardware: Chrome (Black on Black Only)
Pickups: 1 MusicMan-Style - exposed poles
Controls: 2 volume, 1 Tone Knob

But it comes with a fully fitted Status Graphite neck, see [url="http://www.status-graphite.com/status/carts3/frames/necks1.htm"]here[/url]

If that is not enough this bass was also previously owned and used by basschats one and only 'ped'! Don't miss this chance to own a piece of basschat history

The cost of a new OLP MM3 is about £190 and the Status neck costs £276.59 from Status.

Looking for £300

For the benefit of everyone I should mention Kev was asking whether I would consider splitting it. Would anyone have any interest in the body and electronics for a project? I realise the neck would be a bit awkward..

[Machines]

Sure - then we can buy Kev's old neck right ?! .

[dr.funk]

Hah nice idea

[Kev]

hell, maybe we could just trade necks

[Toasted]

I quite want that. But I should be saving for my long-term goal

A Wal ProIIE?

I wouldn't normally clog up someone's sale thread with inane twitter, but since you asked: I'm saving for an NYC Sadowsky Modern 5 24 fret . I'm most of the way there, but I've showed remarkable restraint. You only have to place a $500 deposit to get a $4500 bass going (6 month build) but I've promised myself I won't order until I have at least $3000 of the $4500 I need

What about a non-sale thread ? .

[Toasted]

I regularly clog up non-sale threads with inane twitter.

No Matt, I want that bass!

[dr.funk]

Ok I am not really keen on splitting this.

I think £300 is a fair price considering the cost of parts etc. and the fact that status necks rarely come up for sale.

[stingrayfan]

Bearing in mind the neck alone would cost you £325 to buy - this is a great buy for someone with a SR5 who wants to go graphite. If it was a 4er - I'd have it!

[Kev]

i wish i could afford £300, gutting really as this would be the perfect chance to perfect my blue dawn stingray

good luck with sale man

[ped]

I am pretty sure I have a recording of this so I will post it up ASAP. Lovely bass, and frankly I preferred it to an SR5 I used a fair bit around the same time. Cheers

[Kev]

im almost tempted to sell the status just to buy this, which is crazy as id never use the olp part

pm'd, again
