Members #6 Posted August 13, 2007 Members Share Posted August 13, 2007 At long last, a digital camera. Thus, I put this out there. For the money paid out, I think I have a pretty darn fine collection of tonal possibilities and playing choices. For the three basses, I paid a grad total of $550 over the last few years. Well, here they are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mmb Posted August 13, 2007 Members Share Posted August 13, 2007 How do you like the OLP? I'm finding a whole lot of nothing on here about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members #6 Posted August 13, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2007 i really dig it...the neck is fantastic...tone is not that of a real ray, but its passive, so to be expected....all in all considering i got it for 149, could not possibly be happier... might put in a preamp, or might replace the pup, but its a very cool bass in my book...

Members rummy Posted August 13, 2007 Members Share Posted August 13, 2007 I got to play an OLP saturday. It felt just like the Stingray except for the glossy neck. It didn't bother me, but that stood out the most for me. Tone was also a little different, like it had more metallic sound. Then again, this was an OLP with an Aguilar pre.

Members rummy Posted August 13, 2007 Members Share Posted August 13, 2007 MM's neck pretty much feels like newly-sanded barewood. The OLP felt like satin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
