More Ebay fun

The guy says the thing's got an OLP neck. The body is probably an OLP also. Note the OLP bridge.
 
This one ticks me off enough that I reported the auction to eBay Safe Harbor. I suggest everyone else do the same, unless you want to see some poor kid get seperated from his Christmas money!
 
I have just had a good experience with the dreaded E-Bay, but it wasn't without it's problems. I bid and won a 1988 Red Stingray for just £500 and was a little dubious as the pictures were very poor and you couldn't make out the insignias.

When I asked the guy selling for a serial number he informed me he couldn't find it! - now I was worried!

After several e-mails and the assistance of a couple of guys from this forum it was confirmed as a genuine Ray, and I took possesion of the little darling yesterday and I am a very happy bunny!!!

I guess the point is be very very careful before handing over the cash for a seeming bargain!
 
I remember your earlier posts on that Steve.

Nice one!
 
Darn, someone beat me to it. Who wants to bet this bass is just a stock OLP? with added pickguard?
 
Seller's email response to a question ......

I bought the body online several months ago, the listing was for a musicman body. YOU CAN't BUY SEPARATE BODIES? Where are you from, I have bought tons of bodies that are Musicman, Fender, Gibson, basically any bass ever made. You can buy a stingray body right now here on EBAY for $45. I bought it, and built it. Sorry you feel I am misleading people. Thnks

Yeah, Jeez, Mark, you living under a rock or something?

I mean, look at all the MM bodies we've bought off eBay!



(my total - zero)

I think that pickguard is the original OLP...That whole bass is OLP IMO :D

The original OLP MM3s I've seen (the version with maple fretboards) only came with white pickguards. I've seen some aftermarket OLP pickguards going on eBay though.

He's now added that it's a "Musicman style" body. So if the body is Musicman Style and the neck is OLP then what parts are genuine Musicman? Even the knobs look OLP.
 
Err, I don't think that routing will work somehow.....

The newer OLP's come with that pickguard, and matching headstocks are available now
 
Then it'd have to be a frakenOLP wouldn't it? The newer ones only come with Rosewood fretboards, right?

Perhaps this guy is not as crazy as he seems. Time to bust some copyright infringers, MusicMan.

I've seen these dogs before. Notice the control rout is on the backside but is shaped like the normal front rout instead of a normal cover plate, and that there appears to be no drilling done for the bridge ground - a really bitchy job to do without the special $$$ bit.

No bargain!
