Feature:
The features on the bass are also amazing. Though the pickups aren't active as on the Ernie Ball Stingray, the Hummbucker sounds amazing, it can produce extrememly warm tones along with J-bass and P-bass sound. There are so many things you can do with just one pickup and three knobs on this bass, it really is amazing.

Quality:
The MM2 was almost perfect exept some very minor flaws. I ended up shaving one fret down because it was a little too far of the fretboard. I found the paint on the body was also perfect, the factory even filled the pickup cavity with paint. This bass I will expect to last me for years, and I am also planning on making some modifications to it.

Value:
For the price this bass is unbeatable. Most people will tell you to go but a Squier starter pack, which is about as much as the MM2, but I own a Squier guitar, and found that they are of much poorer quality than any OLP I've played on. Spend a little more money and get the MM2, you will be thankful.

Desirability:
The looks, the curves on this bass make it the most beautiful instruments I've ever owned. I love the style and body shapes of the MM's much better than any Fender. When you play this bass it feels so much a part of you, it's really awesome.

Sound:
A great sounding bass, could be compared to basses three or four times the price.

Support:
Never had to worry about this, as my Stingray was perfect, but I am sure that OLP would have great customer support if ever needed.

Overall:
Even if these basses were $300, or even $400, I would still consider buying one. The Quality, Playability, every little aspect of this bass is perfect

Feature:
Instead of having individual volume controls for the dual coils, I Think OLP would have been better off using one volume control and a center detent panning pot like Yamaha uses for infinite blending of the two coils. That is one thing I will definately be doing to mine.

Quality:
I'm sorry to give it a low mark on quality control, but it came from the factory with three loose neck bolts, two stripped heads on the pickguard, and a very pronounced flaw in the finish. Almost like someone pulled a piece of tape off of the body just before spraying the finish coat, without cleaning that area first.

Sound:
After tweaking and playing and tightening up the three loose neck bolts putting on another set of bass strings and reworking intonation and string height, I found my MM-2 to be absolutely kick-___. It has just an incredible amount of sustain.... even when it's not plugged into an amp. I could'nt believe it! I can't give you a complete analysis of this little puppy since I just got it from you guys last week. I purchased the new natural finish and I'm in LUV. As I get more into playing it, I'll be glad to update my review.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
Pretty standard music man set up- 2 volume pots (one for each pickup) and a master tone control. I found it pretty easy to use, although I don't like the fact that I have to turn down two knobs to lower my overall output volume. The pegs were easy to use. If we are going to get picky, the through bridge string routing means that it will be slightly (if at all) tricky to remove old strings in a hurry if you are in the midde of a set.

Quality:
Admittedly, this bass is on the chincy side, but you'd have to be pretty into bass guitars to detect this. The pots and and the input jack are cheap and look like they won't stand up to a lot of abuse. My input jack is worn out and loose after 3-4 months of playing. The action seems to be set up somewhat haphazardly at the factory. the neck had a piece of sandpaper as a shim when I took it apart to fix the action. I changed the strings to a heavier gauge when you get it, if it's too low- the neck/body connection point is a very unstable situation- otherwise have it professionaly set up when you get it.

Sound:
For the money, this bass sounds incredible. It has way better tone definition and character than my ibanez, which was 3 times the cost and has active pickups/eq.

Ease of Use:
This thing has great definition pretty much out of the gate. Despite my tendency for moderation, I found the best tone to be accessible cranking both of the volume knobs and tone knob.

Support:
I have to go.

Feature:
Aside from the looks and pickup sound there are no azazing special features or anything.

Quality:
Ok quality...however the neck and headstock feel very cheap. I would guess a knock or two may damage it quite a bit.

Value:
Good...better than any squire...but check out the Cort Action Bass as i find it better sounding, MUCH MUCH MUCH better quality, better looking and it plays better!!! These are good basses but the cort action is amazing...you have to try it to believe it.

Desirability:
A very good looking bass...better than most, however looks aren't everything.

Sound:
Excellent bass sound...warm and fuzzy...suits all styles.

Support:
Duno...however i've heard its not very good...

Overall:
OK...a very good bass however it has its faults, if youre looking for an AMAZING bass for this kind of money...get a cort action bass...i use it over my fender jazz!!!
