grahamd Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Offering my OLP MM2 Ray. I've modded it with full fat US Ernie Ball Pickup and US EBMM 2 band preamp (the whole control plate, knobs, jack preamp unit), work done by Martin Bailey in Bristol. Cost a small fortune, but it's a great player with authentic Ray sound, in great condition. Also has a brass nut fitted Looks cool in metallic silver. Strung with fresh Elites **EDT** now have a case so can post for £25 or collection/meetup reasonable distance from Bath/Bristol [url="http://s1302.photobucket.com/user/grazza66/media/OLP%20Ray/image.jpg2_zpsvizivyph.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1302.photobucket.com/user/grazza66/media/OLP%20Ray/image.jpg3_zpstzem24sd.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1302.photobucket.com/user/grazza66/media/OLP%20Ray/image.jpg5_zpsg3nqe0ch.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1302.photobucket.com/user/grazza66/media/OLP%20Ray/image.jpg1_zpssqmdsdo7.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1302.photobucket.com/user/grazza66/media/OLP%20Ray/image.jpg8_zpsei0uf8lt.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1302.photobucket.com/user/grazza66/media/OLP%20Ray/image.jpg6_zpsriak2apr.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1302.photobucket.com/user/grazza66/media/OLP%20Ray/image.jpg4_zpsr1tylpy7.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1302.photobucket.com/user/grazza66/media/OLP%20Ray/image.jpg9_zpso3rcjwqa.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1302.photobucket.com/user/grazza66/media/OLP%20Ray/image.jpg7_zpsjg4q4qf5.jpg.html"][/url] Edited June 2, 2016 by grahamd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Now this I really like. It's a corker I only have one question - where does the battery live for the preamp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Cool. I had something similar planned for my BB1025 to make it active with a Stingray pickup and preamp before I decided to go for the Sterling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a large part of the Rays distinctive sound comes from its unique pickups / electronics and pickup placement, this has all those things and sounds like a Ray is all I can say [quote name='Deedee' timestamp='1459959891' post='3021313'] That's gorgeous.
