EXSTENSIVELY upgraded OLP Tony Levin

[Rayman]

I said I'd never sell it for sentimental reasons, and for the fact that with all the upgrades I'd never get my money back, but because I'm keeping the Kinal, I still need some cash.



Close up of the upgrades



and the brass nut.

You know what the rest looks like.

Standard OLP Tony Levin in the more desirable quilt top. Upgrades; Nordstrand 5.2 pickup, John East 3 band EQ, beautiful brass nut (handmade), and a musicman battery box on the back.

Mint condition except for two tiny holes on the back where the new battery box was fitted.

This bass is now a truly amazing bass. I've spent over £400 on upgrades, the East EQ was £175 and the pup was £120, no expense spared. So the electrics are now the best of the best IMO, the bass plays and sounds stunning.

What can I ask for it?? I'll never get the cash back on it, but it has to be worth £300 of anyone's money for the parts alone. Comes in a Ritter bag.

If someone has a Japanese Fender Precision or Jazz to offer in a trade I'm interested.

NOW SOLD.

Price dropped to £300, it has to be worth every penny of that.

[steve]

that's a bloody good price, good luck with your sale

[wotnwhy]

i have no precision of jazz.. or £300... gutted

the tone from the passive, non signature models is fan-bloomin-tastis. i go weak at the knees thinking how good this must sound!

[Rayman]

Thanks for that, yeah, it's as good a Stingray tone as you could want really, for a fraction of the price of a Musicman.

I've not met this one but from hearing Russ talk about it in glowing terms I know that this is a lot of bass for not a lot of money.

[Rayman]

Cheers Pete, yep, might just hang on to it, I might have found the cash I need elsewhere.

[munkonthehill]

i have a vintage bubinga with gator case and leather strap plus 100quid on offer

[MythSte]

Eesh, Im having to seriously keep myself away from this thread! My Stagg EDB could be available if your interested?

[Weird War]

That's nice, lotta bass for the money too.

[Guest BassKS]

ja ja das ist nett. Whoever gets this bass will be in for a treat with all dem upgrades. Good luck with the sale.

[TRadford]

Dont suppose you can get any sound samples uploaded somewhere??
For some reason my mouse keeps falling on this thread and I find myself starring at the pictures.....

[Rayman]

Sound samples.....god, I'm clueless about stuff like that, I'll consult my brother who might know what to do.

Thanks for all the offers folks, but they're not quite what I need at the moment, although the EDB looks very interesting. I'm hoping for a simple Jazz or Precision, but cash is king right now I must admit.

[Rayman]

Will do mate, I'll give it some thought.

[TRadford]

[Rayman]

Yes indeed, still here.

[TRadford]

Seriously tempted, is it postable??

[Rayman]

Oh yeah, post isn't a problem.
