grahamd Posted March 22, 2016 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
Delberthot Posted March 22, 2016 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?
grahamd Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 There's a new rout in front of the pickup for the battery
Delberthot Posted March 22, 2016 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
grahamd Posted March 27, 2016 Author Posted March 27, 2016 It's a great bass, that's had a lot of TLC. Tempted to keep it and do a defret 😃
grahamd Posted April 2, 2016 Author Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Yes Jassbass it's the classic 2 band EQ. Vol/treble/bass. Have sourced a case locally so will now post for £25 Edited April 2, 2016 by grahamd

hairychris Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Very tempted. I don't own a 4-string, and the full Stingray electronics at this price is pretty rare!
grahamd Posted April 5, 2016 Author Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Been getting my funk on with it today! Edited April 5, 2016 by grahamd
Deedee Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 That's gorgeous. I'm supposed to be selling gear and things like this just keep coming up to tempt me! Great price, GLWTS
grahamd Posted April 6, 2016 Author Posted April 6, 2016 [quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1459956203' post='3021259'] Any vid sound footage?thanx [/quote] Sorry I dont Jassbass. 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. I'm supposed to be selling gear and things like this just keep coming up to tempt me! Great price, GLWTS [/quote] Thanks Deedee its pretty bargainous if I say so myself!
grahamd Posted April 11, 2016 Author Posted April 11, 2016 No scales I'm afraid, but average jazz weight, I'd say 9 - 9 1/2 lbs
Delberthot Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 I'm still interested in this but can't do anything until my Yamaha sells unfortunately.
goonieman Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 [quote name='grahamd' timestamp='1459073635' post='3013254'] It's a great bass, that's had a lot of TLC. Tempted to keep it and do a defret [/quote] Can I ask, why the refret? Are they worn down/ valleys? and/or uneven? Thanks!
grahamd Posted April 19, 2016 Author Posted April 19, 2016 Defret, as in make it fretless 😃 frets are in fine condition
