OLP MM2 Bass guitar

Many years ago I went up to Denmark Street in London with a friend of mine who was looking for a decent, inexpensive bass guitar. After trying out several basses, we both agreed that the best bass for the money was a Musicman Stingray copy made by OLP. This bass was (and still is) very nice to play and sounds really good too.

I always thought I would like to get hold of one of these basses if the chance came along, but they were discontinued in 2009.

I was recently looking through the usual adverts and auction sites when I came across a 'B' stock OLP bass. The shop selling it was well known, so there was no risk involved in buying it.

When the bass arrived I could tell that it had indeed been kicking around the shop for a good few years, but that was a good thing as it proves that the bass is a genuine 'Official Licensed Product'. Considering the bass is probably around 6 or 7 years old, it is in excellent condition, it also has a serial number.

This particular example has a natural finish body which is possibly made of elm rather than the usual basswood, the neck is maple.
