Back in Blighty bump - as per post above, may have a deal but not 100% certain yet [attachment=93377:AC4_001.jpg]

As it looks like there's a fair chance I have sold my AC bass, I am withdrawing this. If the sale falls through I will put this up FS again

Thanks guys for your kind comments Nothing certain yet but a French BC'er has contacted me and - subject to some further information he has asked me to supply when back in Blighty (Sunday) - a deal may be in the offing

Loz posted a bunch of pics in the Alleva porn thread, look for post #83 http://basschat.co.uk/topic/50923-alleva-coppolo/page__st__80 You will be hard pressed IMHO to find a better looking and playing Jazz

Can't weigh it as I'm in Shanghai right now (!) but I think it runs to about 9.5 pounds .... which is above your threshold, John, IIRC?

After some hefty outgoings and the failure to sell my Herbie Flowers Jazz, I have to be a bit brutal in what I need and what I just like owning because it's a gorgeous thing. This wonderful bass falls into the latter camp as I am not gigging electric basses right now (upright only with Rattlin Bone) and my recent recording sessions on electric have all been with my 1963 Precision. It's a big shame as I owned this bass once before, sold it to Happy Jack, missed owning it, and bought it back again a couple of months ago (before I ran into car theft, unexpected tax demands etc) Enough boo hoo, this is one of the last two fully handmade AC's to leave Jimmy Coppolo's NYC workshop (in 2008) before he upped and moved operations to California. BC stalwart lozbass owned both basses before selling this one on (he kept the sonic blue LG4 that is the object of several BC'ers fantasies!). His original FS ad (appended below) includes all the specs. This one is quite gorgeous in appearance (wonderful nitrocellulose sunburst, chocolate coloured rare DN board) and amazing array of sounds. It has two tiny lacquer dings on the headstock and a small one ( that could be buffed out) near the jack socket. Otherwise it's in astounding condition. Comes in Protec gig bag. I am typing this from abroad so am linking to one of the pics from Jack's website ( hope that's OK Jack?) to give you an impression of how truly beautiful this bass is: http://i53.tinypic.com/2lbyjd5.jpg Loz' original FS ad: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/100561-sold-alleva-coppolo-lg4-3ts-dn-board/ I am after £2500 cash, no trades for obvious reasons. I will withdraw this if my Herbie Flowers Jazz sells, which would be my preference. Right now only offering collection/meet up in London.

Herbie Flowers Jazz still available. £1200 ovno collected ( in Fender gig bag, no hard case)

Bump from the other side of the world

'53 P on hold pending a viewing next week

Pic taken with flash tonight which accentuates the scrapes on the metal grill (which I am sure could be cleaned up if so desired) [attachment=93191:P1040909.JPG] NB, I will be out of country until Saturday evening with only sporadic email access so any PMs may not be answered immediately

I got this recently from Happy Jack for a short term arrangement. Need to raise some cash and as my FS basses haven't sold, I am putting this up for sale too. Looking for what I paid which is £450. Its Alex' first ever Big One and, while showing some signs of being used (but not abused) functions perfectly - that is its a very loud, one-cab solution (15"/6") that is in perfect working order. Given the size, would need to be collected from West London (Hammersmith way). Here is Jack's ad with details [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/158286-barefaced-big-one-serial-no-00gone/page__hl__big"]http://basschat.co.u...e/page__hl__big[/url] Here's some rather glowing reviews on BC for those unfamiliar with this cab [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/59276-barefaced-big-one/"]http://basschat.co.u...efaced-big-one/[/url]

Need to raise some cash - final price cuts £675 for 53 Preciion relic and £1200 for Herbie Flowers Jazz, both collected/meet-up in London

It says in the tag 'old series from 1999', Barrie

I presume this is the bass, at the Gallery? Amazing wood top [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/product_details.cfm?ID=1982&type=Bass%20Guitar"]http://www.thebassga...e=Bass%20Guitar[/url]

Sold pending the usual to Sam

I have a barely used and vgc Demeter Compulator compressor. Since I am looking to recoup some unplanned outgoings, this is non-essential and so can go. Based on previous sale prices a posted price ( in UK) of £100 sounds fair to me. A quick google suggested these are £169 new, without postage.
