Review OLP MM2
 
 
 

Review by cicatriz on 5.12.2004




Purchased this bass from Musicannulls Friend in the year of 2000 for about $250

 
 
  Features  
 
OLP took the infamour Music Man and turned it into something more affordable. It feature the humbucker bridge pick up with two volume controls and one tone. Trust rod adjustment at bottom of neck.
Neck design licensed by Ernie Ball.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
The bass outputs well. It is very easy to play and gives what you want.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
Some noise is generated but itnulls more of a matter of how much feedback your amp produces in the first place. Volume knobs need to be set at equal amounts to avoid feedback.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
The bass comes well set up form the factory settings. It is very reliable in terms of itnulls electronics and most fo the hardware. The nut for the input needs a good tightening and then it generaly stays on for quite some time.
Adjustment on the pick up is simple and easy.

However, One of my tuning keys fell off, the g string key to be exact. just the key, the tuner is still on there. This may have been caused due to some drops but I barely dropped this, more or less just banged it at times.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
The bass is a nice step down for those who want the look and sound of a great bass without all the cost. I choose this for itnulls look and pick up, expecialy after seeing a local band that used a real music man. I would easily consider a different bass but this is a good starter or 2nd-3rd bass. Again all the looks and sound at a fraction of the cost.
