NBD Olinto P

[facetsquared]

Hi all. I have been on the hunt for a well-built P bass for while, and chanced across this Mas Hino-era 2017 Olinto P. It's a beautiful deep green, and was very well taken care of by the previous owner.

First impressions are very good. I had heard positive things about Olinto's necks and this one fits my hand well - it's a 7.25 radius and is quite shallow in depth. The Mas Hino pickups sound excellent - lots of woody thump with the LaBella DTFs that are strung on the instrument. So far, I see why these basses are so well regarded.

Yeah, that's very nice.

I had one very similar to that. Those Mas Hino Olintos are perfect. Congrats!!

Thank you! It’s a really nice instrument. About 8.4lbs. The neck is fantastic - every bit as good as my Moollon P.

If you ever decide to unload it, call me first. I never should have sold mine.

I love that color!

Just curious, you said that you’ve been on the hunt for a well-built Pbass but you’ve had a Moollon? Were you looking for something even better?

Why not both, is my motto.

 

[scuzzy]

Love that green!

 

[Element Zero]

Green! That’s dope.

I’m curious about these types of higher end Fender style basses… what is it about them that you like more than a top of the line vintage style Fender like a custom shop or avri? I have and have had avri’s and custom shops that are totally killer, but I’ve never played or even seen an Olinto, Moolon, Coppola etc, so I have no idea how they compare to what I’ve experienced.

That green is gorgeous.

 

[mpdd]

i played one of them at NAMM, effortless to play, perfect balance, and even tone allover the neck

 

[sonic boogaloo]

it's always nice to see a P bass in a non-traditional color.

enjoy!

This is what I have found so far too.

That green sure is nice. Never sure about green as a body color but this one is tasty.

Congrats on the score.
