I’ve watched lots of videos on the olinto flats as I was looking for some and the P basses look really great, but you don’t see them for sale very often, is it the price do you think or the availability

Probably a bit of both, coupled with a lot of buyers not knowing much about them.

Out of curiosity I enquired about these, they certainly make some lovely basses, especially the precisions , unfortunately their P basses only come with a 44.45mm vintage nut , which is a little wider than I prefer, and they are $4400.00 , here’s a few I like

Once I got over the shock of $4400 for a Precision copy with an ugly headstock, I recovered enough to appreciate that that's an incredible looking fretboard.

 

Still wouldn't pay that much for it, particularly with a 44.45mm nut, but that's stunning!

Dear lord, the fingerboard on that sunburst one is gorgeous! What is that wood? 

 

Beat me to it!

I'm sure these are top quality basses but I don't think I could live with that headstock shape. 

I know what you’re saying, but I don’t think they look that bad , I quite like the moollon precision’s but really can’t do that headstock

Found a picture on talkbass and apparently it’s marble wood fingerboard on an Alder body with a passive 10 position Tonestyler
