History:
Purchase: I Stumbled Upon This Brand Bass On Ebay. Someone Bid Against Me In Another Auction & For Spite I Checked What He Was Bidding On & Found This Fantastic OLP Blue Pearl Color Musicman Stingray Copy & Authorized Bass! I Bought This Bass Without Ever Picking One Up & "Jamming" On Me Own <(Spoken British) I Just Knew This Ebay Sniper Bidder Was NOT Going To Get This Bass *BUT FIRST* I Read Some Reviews On It, A Little Research & La-La-La. Also Found On Musicians Friend Website But> Go Figure,,They Did'nt Have One To Sell To Me?? Oh Well, Back To Ebay & "Lurked" In The Background (Like My Sniper Pal Did To Me) Til The Last Moment & $164.50 Later It Was End Of Auction & All Mine Complete With Soft Case & Extra Set Of Strings! Sorry, I'm Feeling Much Better Now!
What I Like About This Unit: VERY Easy To Play. Neck Not Too Wide (Kinda Between Precision/Jazz. Love The Tones From This Monster! I Also Own & 1984 Fender MIJ Jazz Bass Special & A Gibson So-And-So & Use The OLP As My Main Axe-Of-Evil Now Carrying The Gibson As A Backup. The Finish/Paint Is Fabulous, The Hardware O.K. Only Whats Mentioned In Next Section About "Dislikes".
What I Do NOT Like About The OLP MM2 Pearl Blue 4 String Bass: It Came With A Plain White Pickguard But "Spoiled Me" Wanted A White Pearloid Pickguard To Skyrocket The Look To The Moon & Be Different BUT>> In My Research I Failed To Find Out About Tech Support!!
THERE IS NO OLP TECH SUPPORT. My "Nice" Emails To OLP & "Authorized" Distributors Yielded No Response Til My Emails & Patience Turned Ugly. One Response Said "Oh! No Problem! Just Contact An "Authorized" OLP Dealer/Store For All Your Wants/Needs">>>> Not.
Final Word Is OLP Has No Plans For Extra/Spare Parts Availability & Has Told "Authorized" Dealers Under NO Circumstances To Sell Parts! I Even Understand Now OLP Only Has What Was Described As A "Shoebox" Of Parts ONLY For Warrantee To Keep The Prices Low? So, End Result Is Custom Parts From Wherever You Can "Google Search" Them. The Good Result For Me Is I Now Found & Opted For A Blue Pearloid Pickguard & Custom Dome Knobs (Chrome/Pearl Blue) & They Are On The Way.
MM2 Pearl Blue 4 String Bass Quality: Quality, Construction Nets A 8 Out Of 10 High Rating. Not Pleased With The Bridge (Someone Help Me Find A Heavy Duty Type?) Found No Major Flaws To Entertain Or Hoot About.
Summary: The OLP MM2 Musicman Stingray Copy Is A Fantastic Bass For The Money. The Look, Feel & Playability Of It Measures Up To Basses That Cost Many More $$$$$$$$.
As Far As The "Lack Of Tech Support" Thing, I Am In Therapy & Under Observation For That Now & Next Week They Will Let Me Go Out On My Own >I Think??
