New Project Bass-OLP Content

[40Hz]

How about getting a 4 string bridge and making it an old smoothie? Maybe an upgraded pre and pickup too...

Oooo...now that's an idea!

Nice bass. Matching headstock rocks. Very classy. I vote leave it.

Most likely I would leave it as is for a while to get to know it.

If I decided to spend $200, I might be thinking a new Q-tuner pickup in MM case and changing the electronics to volume, Q-filter mid cut and standard tone.

Another option would be a quad coil MM pickup and changing electronics to a four-way rotary switch (series, parallel, coil 1, coil 2), volume and tone.

I'd drop in a decent pickup and preamp then call it a day.

I have an OLP MM3 which a just modded to having a single volume knob, a single tone nob and a dpdt switch to have the pick ups in series or parallel mode. adds a nice tone variation

I was thinking about swapping out the bridge, maybe a Badass, but I'm going to keep it a 5

I swapped the bridge on mine and went up to 17.5 mm string spacing. I don't think the neck will handle more than that.

On mine the frets and hardware sucked but the pickup sounds great. I wired it in parallel and added a P for flavor and it's my funkiest bass. Just 2 volumes, no tone. One day I'll add a tone and a series/parallel for the MM pickup.
