What is olp bass

Hello I saw diferent headstock text in a lot of OLP bass. Some with serial number, another wirhout serial number. All genuine OLP bass has serial number? Which is the correct position for a serial number?

Thank you Juan from Argentina. Join Date Nov Location belgium Posts 1, I wouldnt worry too much about olp basses being original or fake. My guess is that if someone would intend making fake guitars they would make fake musicmans.

Because olp's are too cheap to make a good profit on. Olp is allready a "fake" musicman so this would be making fakes of fake basses. Its like building a strat and selling it as a squier while you could put a fender decal on it and make alot more Thank you "sandhermans" I understood. But, does anyone have information about which is the correct position and the correct look and feel of the Headstock OLP Bass manufactured until ???

Thanks a lot Juan from Argentina. Full stop. The string tree and strap button holes are all a bit iffy too - wouldnt take much to strip them I wouldnt think. Much as I like the OLP I wouldn't put them in the same class - the finish and equipment bridge, tuners, wiring hardware etc on the ATK are far better, as is the sound which is just awesome.

I'd stack the atk up against basses costing twice or three times as much without hesitation - mind you for what I paid for the OLP I'd say the same about that too.

Genuinely nice, comfortable bass to play. Looks good, too, the strings are closer together than on a Musicman Stingray 5, yes, but that didn't bother me in the least. Nice bass, sounded good, played well Shocking quality nut, looked like it'd been cut by a five year old. Awful hiss from the treble pot when turned up full, so that had to go too. Not the brightest top end sparkle from mine, but loads of bottom end thump.

I ended up with a Villex pup in mine, making it passive, but with a few tweaks to the stock guts, it's a good bass, and would easily back up my Overwater for gigs if I needed it to. Tony recorded the song "What Would Jimi Do? Wether or not he uses one live, I have no idea. Up til that point, I'd never been that keen on the idea of buying an instrument without seeing it, but none of the other local shops carried any OLP stuff, so I thought I'd have a look on the web and see what sort of prices they were going for elsewhere.

A little bit of reading around soon showed that build quality on the single pickup OLPs was patchy, but that things were much better on the twin pickup range.

They still hadn't been released over here yet, but I spotted an MM32 on ebay in the states for not much more than the local place was trying to punt the MM2 at, so I just ordered it. Liked it a lot soundwise, couldn't spot any huge build quality issues, finish was lush, neck was nice and straight, frets could probably have done with a little tidying but nothing horrendous I just couldn't get on with the extra-narrow string spacing when I was trying to learn slap.

Stuck with it for a while, and then spotted an ex-demo bargain on an MM It's absolutely spot on for my needs and I love it to bits. The only criticisms I've got of it are -Like the MM32 I had before, the frets could do with a bit of levelling.

It's not so bad that I've actually got round to getting it done though. The pickup routs are slightly oversized. Doesn't look bad enough to make me want to put the PG back on, but still "not quite perfect" -It'd have looked better with a maple fretboard -It's made my MIM Jazz feel like a cheaply made toy in comparison I'm still unconvinced about the new Sterling by MM range I've got an MM32 bought off Jobiebass via basschat a few months ago.

I replaced the original nut which was very poor, and after a decent set up it plays really well. I agree with others that slapping is tricky due to string spacing but the tonal variety available is suprisingly wide, considering the pickups are clearly budget jobs.. I may upgrade in future.

I had one, got it cheap, in fact me and a few mates only bought it to stop someone we didn't like from buying it, haha. I had a 5 string one with a Status graphite neck. I really liked it. Turned out the neck needed shimming but once sorted it was great. Very usable sound I actually preferred it to the actual wooden necked MM! Used — Good. Listing Ended.
