OLP Tony Levin

[Toddy]

Hi Gang,,,,

Have heard OLP mentioned a few times on here,,,

I know where there is a brand new Tony Levin Sig for just a tab over £200,,, havent plugged it in ,,,but seems to play really well..

Should I snap this one up?????

Good basses. I have one as a backup for my Overwater for gigs. Definately worth the money. The only issues I had with mine were a noisey treble pot and a lousy nut. Once sorted out it's a cracking bass. Surprisingly powerful bottom end on mine.

Nice enough bass. I think I know the one you mean. It's the natural one at "AM", isn't it? It's been sitting gathering dust at the shop for a while now. Only thing I didn't like about it was the incredibly narrow string spacing. Something silly like 15mm.

Watch out for a noisy preamp - otherwise it'll be great.

OLP don't make basses no more (correct me if I'm wrong) so I'd buy it.
I'd like one myself to try a Stingray at a reasonable price but I can't find em.
I'd like an OLP MM32 (5-string HH model).

So yeah, buy it. They retailed for about £320 new I saw once.
If anything it's active so it's ripe for mod ideas.

Yowsa. That's tight. Still, it'd stop you digging in too hard -- can't even fit your fingers between the strings!

Yeah, I'm used to playing 5-strings with 18mm string spacing, so it was like trying to play bass on a Stratocaster!
