Reggaebass Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still wouldn't pay that much for it, particularly with a 44.45mm nut, but that's stunning! Just now, LeftyJ said: Dear lord, the fingerboard on that sunburst one is gorgeous! What is that wood?

Reggaebass Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 I couldn’t find exactly what wood was used on the fretboard, it’s on their custom gallery, I think there’s something about it on facebook but I don’t have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAgent Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 It reminds me of some slabs of macassar ebony I've seen. And it's killer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misdee Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 I'm sure these are top quality basses but I don't think I could live with that headstock shape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found a picture on talkbass and apparently it’s marble wood fingerboard on an Alder body with a passive 10 position Tonestyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverBlackman Posted November 8 Share Posted November 8 If I was to go for one it’d have to be a clean finish. The wear doesn’t look well done IMO. Quite a different bass but if I had that money for a Fender copy I’d be looking at Alleva coppolo despite the headstock haters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
