All user reviews for the Olp MM2

Low PLO (Officialy Licensed Product) 4 passive strings Ernie Ball Chinese manufacturing under license. Brand no longer exists at present.
I use it as a low replacement did not have been able to invest the time in a model a little more upscale.

UTILIZATION

Fairly thick maple keys handle 21 boxes with access to correct acute.
1 MusicMan humbucker type in the bridge position, controlled by three knobs, two volume and tone with the input jack on the front.
Lower overall pretty heavy but well balanced.

SOUNDS

The sound is rather round instead focused rock, pretty typical grain with a high volume of output, due to which Humbucker not send wrong. It holds the road well on the serious and the lower midrange, but do not ask him to do more.
I plugged into a Hartke head, connected to a cab 15 '.

OVERALL OPINION

Useful to compare the PLO with a MusicMan U.S., there is no comparison. I say this because I read a lot about it or confuse the two marks was made a little too quickly. The MM2 is an entry-level office with all the advantages and disadvantages that entails.
Its strong point is probably the sound if it does well on abstraction of a real Stingray. The grain is nice, the overall sound though somewhat limited, is quite rich. To this we can add a distinctive look, a copy of his great American sister, the pretty cool online.
The weak point, the violin. Disastrous mechanical, unable to hold a regular tuning. The knobs that go on vacation one by one, by unscrewing the shaft. The tether strap loses screws and which moreover can not be replaced by a thicker screw if it is to yours. A pickguard that aged badly, plastic with an unfortunate tendency to warp over time.
Many negative points, even at a price of this order are not acceptable.

The final low to be considered but it is not over, for a price that I consider too expensive compared to some models of the same range.
No, I will not repeat that choice at the moment.

In Brazilian Music store called Hendrix Music - some R$ 1400 - abt USD 350...

Sounds great, good cost/benefit. It comes with ernie ball strings, which is very good. Altough it is now as well finished as some other basses I have, It still sounds great, and looks very rugged. The fingerboad is very confortable for me.

It has some minor faults on it its finish, but nothing really serious.

Very rugged, well constructed, but as I mentioned before, not so well finished.

A good working tool for those who can not afford to buy a real Music Man Bass

I played this bass at Sam Ash on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles for half an hour. It was selling for $229. Later I found a refurbished copy on Musician's Friend for $129.

The ability to adjust volume on each coil on the humbucker is a major plus for me, since I'm a guitar player without much bass technique and am used to using pickup selector switches to change tone. This also gives considerable tonal variation. I had played a friend's cheap Squier bass and liked the earthy, unobtrusive thud I was able to get, but subsequent tests with both Squiers and Precisions failed to find that tone. I was surprised to find it in the OLP. The Stingray is a classic design, as well, and the MM2 shares its stylish design.

Made in China -- don't expect much resale value. Durability is also an unknown.

Seems decent if not great. The pearl blue finish looks good.

Time will tell whether this bass can last for years the way I need it to, but the sounds I was able to get from it in-store were the best I'd heard in this price range.

I attempted to buy this bass from Muscians Friend twice, both time when it arrived it was dammaged. I ended up buying it at Guitar Center for about $235

I love everything about this bass! ESPECIALLY the price. It sounds great, especially the mids. The quality was pretty good throughout the whole bass, and it is an easy bass to upgrade. The neck is smooth and fast, but not super-skinny; it has a more vintage style neck, similar in some ways to a Prescion Bass. The stock bass comes equipped with Ernieball Slkinky strings, and the bass is approved by Musicman.

The only complaint I would have about this bass is that when I took off the pickguard to install a new pickup (A basslines musicman replacement, make sure you know waht your doing before attempting this. The basslines model is harder to install than some of the cheaper ones) I found 2 missdrilled holes. Other than that, I have no complaints. Another thing was a lack of any sort of instructions.

The construction is quite nice, and the neck fits perfectly and tightly to the body. Above i mentioned the missdrilled holes. The control cavity and the pickup hole are clean and functional, the electronics simple and easy to see what does what.

I think this is the best bass avaliable under $300. Heck mabey even $400. I've played alot of basses and none matched the sheer value of this bass. If this bass was priced at $500 when i bought it, I would have not had any second thoughts. The bass is great at plying many types of music.

I bought this product from eBay for $220. It's also available through Musicans Friend for around the same price. I chose eBay because there was no tax.

This bass took me by suprise. I was expecting a POS bass that I would have to upgrade everything on. However, after playing for 30 minutes I realised what a deal I'd stumbled upon. The neck plays awesome and there are no dead spots or buzzes. The frets are smoothed so sliding is no problem. The finish is mint and shiny, the action(string height) was perfect from the factory, and all other parts are strong and easy to use.

After having this bass for about a week I notice three problems. First, the strap pins are coming loose, and the pickup is far from "good". The E string is awful unless you're finger picking. It's muddy and much louder than the other strings. Also, when you slide up the E string it sounds like the world is ending. Finally, the pickguard is very thin and weak.

This bass is A+ quality and construction for the price.

Bottom line- better than any other new bass in this price range I've seen. I'm preparing to buy a Seymour Duncan SMB-4D to slap in this thing and a new pickguard so it'll be ready to go.

Bought it at a local store in Jersey, Channel Islands, UK. Its cost was $240 in US dollars.
I bought it as a starter bass but it has a lot more potential than I expected.
Though it isnt as good as its original, the Stingray 4, it can produce some quality sound.

The finish was perfect and the original strings were Ernie Ball slinky which are pretty good.

Not as much sustain and punch as the Stingray. No piezo pickups.

Perfect for the price, and probably the best buy for those who cant afford a Music Man

This low production is Asia (China or core). It possde 21 frets on a handle big enough for a 4 string bass. Team it with a bridge humbucker and 3 knobs for volume and tonality.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very enjoyable imposing. Used to it quickly.
Access in acute is correct.
For it is against an anvil! must have the strong shoulder to take several hours standing.
The big sound is easy to get too serious, the rglages are simplicity itself.

SOUNDS

It is a very versatile bass that will delight beginners looking for their musical color. I use it mostly with a Hartke 30W Alu bowl and sounds good enough for a modest noise level. It takes muscles when I couple a Peavey TNT 115.
The sound palette is quite wide despite the mic.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year and I am happy for the price trs (330). Trs good value quality (sound) / price / look (by far).
Do not look too prs in terms of finishing and assembly of spices but good for the price ...
This is a good for beginners MODEL srieusement prservant while the bank.

For CHARACTERISTICS there that see the photo is a copy musicman official (the only) is bleuffant admit it!

UTILIZATION

The handle is DIFFERENT from what I had on my ibanez sr 800 SDgr, but it is enjoyable and easy.
Access in treble is good but it's not his strong point.
+ good ergonomics a little heavier than my SDgr but it's not a thunderbird 70.
The big plus is that you get a good sound easily.

SOUNDS

It is a low height for rock (hard rock pop heavy) or the blues.
I played with a ampeg ba112 no effect.
good versatility in the micro-plutt punchy round (I love)

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for 13 months.
- The Plus is its look and sound, cot ngatif hard to find in France only to order! So to try dificil I buy during a stay in Great Britain.
it is not a musicman but are 900 to cart and really: either the original or the cost too is a relative quality unbeatable price!
- I tried several bass style musicmann (stagg - Johnson) has nothing to do and the cart is only 150. I tried also (squier jazz bass, and Cort GB34).
- Excellent quality price.
- Yes I do it again this choice because I can not afford to pay 1300 for a musicman.

Low-passive, manufactures in China
-21 Jumbo frets, a micro hambucker prs musicman style of the bridge
-1 Knob for volume and 2 tone

UTILIZATION

The neck is super enjoyable.
Despite its width a little excssive for 4 string bass, the fingers move use.The 'Access in acute is correct.
It is quite heavy but it is well balance.
is typically low for rock and funk.Relativement versatile.
the finish is good

SOUNDS

So at the sound I REALLY t surprised. you can feel the grain Musicman is present, with less fishing, of course, but it's enough to make you jump to the ceiling: d. The slap and the game goes well with your fingers is enjoyable trs.
it offers a range of sounds more qu'intressante.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been more or less unless I tate in all directions.
a report is really very good quality price.
I tested it in stores at the same time as the sub and the true stinray and Fancher, the resemblance is bluffing and its level, it approaches very height of the sub, but with a bit less even when fishing.
In résumé, the 450 model with a translucent orange pearloid pickguard withe it's really given it is superb.
A tent for all those who can not afford a musicman or dbutent.

Made in China

Wood: Basswood
Maple neck and rosewood
21 Jumbo Frets / 22 Frets for 5 string
Scale length: 83.3 cm
Landmarks on the handle
Chrome
Mechanical oil bath
Microphones in the Music Man style

Level characteristics
Everything works pretty well except that I have not had a bowl

1) The model I received was part of the micro slit
2) was missing a screw in the bridge (it's harder to adjust)
3) The neck was hyper-disturbed
Controls: 2 volume and tone

6 / 10 because it is basic but it (All you can expect)

UTILIZATION

The handle is quite nice
You can walk easily without problem
It is a classic race.

The access to treble is good, there are no complaints

The overall look is nice ... What Musicman
and the weight is not disabling.

For the other hand, I really have not been met
and in addition to the game to the fingers was not at all agréble
but I come back.

I would put 4 for my bad luck and for the fans without thunes musicman

SOUNDS

It should suit my style of music
Since I had come across a model with serious failures.
(The kind of failures that can not realize until much later)

I played it on: A Behringer BX300: A sound bereft of bass
No one's presence and feeble.
A Hartke B150 (replacing BX300)
One may sound better but
ultimately makes you pissed off
Same with the Behringer but a little better
Hartke A100 A: Then there is the quarry,
impossible to get a good sound!
I explain: Well its nice to hear =

I never managed to get six months in a pleasant sound
I really have not had any luck!

The only thing that could please me would be to pick the game (and again)

And now a special mention: the slap, every time I heard a plop
ugly as well say that I never managed to change that, or adjusting sleeve
height of rope and string. But as soon as I play on a different model all goes well

So I hesitate between 2 and 6 but I 2 takes note as to invite people
to pay attention to the settings of the instrument.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been six months and five and a half that I want to change
I hate that look at her and all other that I tried was
Contrary to what I could find on that one

If you do not get ripped off and set this bass is really not bad.

And with experience I would do this choice

ESPECIALLY Test the model that you want to buy. (For precautions)

I put 10 because I know I have had no luck and in fact this is low

Everything has been said again and again

UTILIZATION

The handle is a bit wide, but very nice. Access to acute is not optimal, but it's a 21 frets, it is found quickly.
The weight is a little excessive, but quite bearable.
The settings are minimal so we get the sound you want quickly.
The jack is on the table, a very nice!

SOUNDS

The big highlight is the sound: quite bold grain with character, with severe acute very rough and slam shut. It is not taken to Flea for cheap with this instrument ^.
However, this is not a jazz bass, it is to book with rock and funk, because the sound is very special.

The sound is very fingers "net", it appears good. To pick it passes through a metal sound and "chopped". To slap, it's a joy ... the sound is impressive. The sweaters are so afraid to hear the snapping sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I recently utiise is my second bass, and is a superb value for money for those who want the look and sound musicman in a little less ... well for much cheaper.

I strongly recommend to test before purchase because it is low in terms of its particular. The look is daunting, it's a bass that is impressive!

I tried a cort in the same price range (passive one) and it was much worse in gaming comfort! It outperforms my first peavey in all areas (except the weight ^ ^)

I may be missing a step back because I do not use it for a long time, but for now I'm not disappointed!

4 string bass made in China.
21 frets, a micro type Music Man, classic easel.
3 knobs (tone, volume, volume)
Wooden handle Unlike the picture, mine is covered with a rosewood fingerboard.

Mcaniques open air bath and dusts

A simplicity of good quality.

UTILIZATION

The handle is worthy of a merlin or a pick. Also pais. Lovers of jazz bass, go your way. The spacing of the strings will surely delight slappeurs. For the walking-bass: aargh!
Access in acute is typical of a Precision, the junction body / heel consquente. The neck is quite flat, for against, therefore, is a playable and fast with a little practice.

The weight is consquent, basswood body trs pais, like the handle. Not for a low frles shoulders. Largissime strap binding.

For cons, the sound is easily obtained DSIR, few rglages but effective. Will delight fans of heavy funk rock sound.

Note: no thumb rest, no neck pickup, I am handicapped. APRS dpend all of your personal habits.

SOUNDS

The sound palette is broad, bass in treble. Personally, I play with little sharp, I prfr better mediums.

This microphone is only bluffing, it restores the sound you want the o other low ncessitent two microphones.

The Tone knob is the darn efficient trs progressive, very easy to find "the" sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I love this low speed which one finds her. With 2 rglages-simple and effective, all sounds are available as well as modern sounds more "vintage".

The violin is very simple also, a guarantee of strength, default to be thin and pretty. Low height for Sb Chabal.

The report price is good quality. If the dimensions of the handle does not frighten you, it's better than a Squier. A chouilla more. More than a personality or an Ibanez Cort.
She has "the mouth".

I would add, even contradict some collgues bassists here, that the assembly and instrument making are much better than what you'll find on other sub-brand Squier or Epiphone such. It's not wood crate!

Size for concerts in small halls, caf-conc o you do not bring your Precision Deluxe, your or your MusicMan Ricken. Can be a little too typical as the first instrument. P ****, but a sound!

- Chinese Manufacture
- 2 Volumes 1 and tonalitbr />
It's pretty basic but adequate for a passive

I put 4 because its quality of manufacture is far from being perfect.

The varnish "bavquot; location of the handle. The handle is screwed the wrong mcaniques are average.

one of the screws of the bridge is dvisse the cls are fragile and screw the strap tends to leave.

Compare the quality of manufacture of my Squier is indonsienne is bad trs.

UTILIZATION

The handle is pais. We sometimes feel we're going to play baseball. Avoid small hands.

However, the APRS grip, you get used to and is even enjoyable even if fans of Walking or Riff Blues Rock'n Roll or may suffer a bit. I do not have big hands and playing this type of music too, I must be more comfortable on a Fender neck.

Access in acute is not a problem.

It is quite heavy which can s'avrer tiring after 2 H standing together non stop.

The handle is quilibrbr />
The sound is easily obtained. I tried the very first time on a small MicroPeavey 20W Amp. I t bluff by the roundness and warmth of the grave. Highs are not as slammin dsagrables well slap, which is not frquent for this low price!

SOUNDS

This should Basse my type of music: I play Classic Rock. It's pretty versatile.

I play on a 100W SWR that captures the qualities of this bass but it sounded on my little dj 20W.

Slap with the knobs in the bottom, we get a seriously stunning.

For cons, I also play the Motown Soul Type and the instrument shows these limits. I mean by that is too feeble bte mdiums in the fight against a Jazz. Ms. my squier is more enjoyable to hear in this register. Amateur gentle refrain!
You can always find the sound but it will "fiddle" your amp before finding a round dull short that satisfies you.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year.
I like his ct aggressive, violent and purring!
The price quality ratio is excellent for a low of 200 euros. In the era, I'd pay 360 and I would do without hsiter choice. You must type in a lot more for something that makes the match for this instrument.

The sound is really impressive and Submitted even if the quality of manufacturing can leave DSIR.

However, it is a trs beautiful object and I use it often trs! It became my main bass.
