It's an OLP. Still a decent bass though. No idea on the pricing. Someone else can tell you what a good price for it would be.

Too good to be true.

Ask for more info, serial, headstock pics... or check the bass by yourself!

If its real, I think you should BE JUMPING RIGHT NOW on that...

OK, sorry, I made a mistake...

Really sorry for this, I answered too fast. Lets hope someone else can help you better than I... its not a bargain if its an OLP.

Yeah, I read "music man" and I got mad... but didn't realise the "OLP" thing until CBgaragebassist told us.

Pitty.

I've read about 2ond hand OLPs sold for 150-200$...

I'm 99.9998972% sure that's an OLP, not a true MusicMan (think Squier vs Fender. Not exactly, but you get the idea). Not a good price for the condition. If it is in fact an actual 'Ray (it's not), then this would be a pretty good deal, considering the cosmetic damage.

There you have some threads from talkbass classifieds with second hand OLPs, to compare the prices ;-)

It`s an OLP. Not a MusicMan.

The prices are on the high side for both basses. I would pass.

It's even got the OLP headstock logo - does the seller think anyone is gonna believe it's an Ernie Ball?

OLP's sold new for $200 - $250. A used one with some wear, finish issues, etc. is worth about half that.
