OLP 4HH Fretless

Sign in to disble this ad
**SOLD**

I have an OLP MM22, which is the rarer dual humbucker version of their "Officially Licensed" Stingray knockoff. In order to better stave off the Winter doldrums last year, I pulled the frets and inlay dots, filled the fretlines, sanded down the fretboard to an even 12" radius, then put layer upon layer of epoxy on it - about 9 thin layers, gently sanded in between. The end result is a smooth, glass-like surface that I feel pretty good about. The neck heel (but not the fretboard surface) is a twee bit sloppy, but not conspicuous from a few feet away.

I filled in the fretlines with a mixture of epoxy and fine rosewood dust, so they are darker than the fretboard, but nearly invisible from across the room. I also replaced the cheap plastic nut with a graphite one after the epoxy work was completed.

Oh, and I also sanded down the headstock and the back of the neck. The back was finished with about 10 layers of tung oil, and man does it feel GOOD. I'm tempted to do the same to my Stingray.

As you can tell from the photos, there are a few significant dings on the bass finish, which were there when I purchased it. There are two small starter holes on the back that are about 2mm deep. These were made with intention of retrofitting a 6-bolt MusicMan neckplate, which was never installed.

I threw some Lakland flats on it, and she's a pretty thumpin groove machine, but I unfortunately never play it. I'm not much of a fretless player and I've finally gotten the hang of 5-stringers, but my oafish hands don't like switching between 4s and 5s.

I'm asking less than what I've put into it: $250 CONUS, INCLUDING a molded hardshell case. I'll ship to Canada if the buyer pays actual shipping costs.

Note: This is an active bass, with a 3-band EQ.

UPDATE: I'll also throw in the 6-bolt Musicman neckplate that I was planning to install on this bass.

Thanks for the compliment, OneMoreRobot.

Regarding trades, I'm not interested in more guitars/basses, as I have quite enough. I would do an even trade for a VT Bass Deluxe, however.

The bass is active. The 5-way selecter switch works similar to the Stingray 4HH.
