For sale is my Alleva-Coppolo Bass LM5. (Empress/Maple) purchased in the USA at Bass San Diego in 2020. Everything is original and nothing has been changed. This is an extremely rare bass, built by Jimmy Coppolo. He only built a handful of LM-5 models out of Empress wood. This is one of them. I think this bass really only exists once. The response is superbly even and incredibly clear. The low B-string is clearly defined. This bass is insanely light at just under 3.47 kg and can be carried and played all the time. The Empress basses have the mid-scoop of a 70's style LM/maple jazz bass, but with a slightly "modern sounding" twist. The finish is a throwback to early 80s Fender basses with Di Marzio p/u's (the finish is called "Sienna Burst") and it has nice block inlays and custom "Fender Strat" buttons. It also has white pickups, just like the old Dimarzio pickups in the old Fender models. This bass is both passive and active (bass and treble boost when switched to active). This bass was made in a great time when Jimmy was producing some really incredible work. Everything works flawlessly. No quirks, kinks or dents. Potis work without creaking. Neck is straight and truss rod works flawlessly. The frets are like new with no visible play marks. Of course, it comes with a very high quality original Alleva gig bag. All in all a really wonderful instrument, unfortunately gets too little attention in my house. 😂 That's why I would like to give it away in good hands. No trades please.

For sale is my Alleva-Coppolo RA5. I bought the bass brand new in October 2021 and imported it myself. New price was just 6000 euros incl. shipping and taxes. In spring, the truss rod was repaired on this bass because the neck could no longer be adjusted. This work was perfectly done by a luthier. Now everything works fine again and the bass can be played perfectly. No stage, no studio, just played at home. Brilliant slap sound with a very good B-string. Bass is located in Germany and shipping is possible. Vol Vol Tone (active/passive) Treble, Bass boost only Alder body Maple neck and fretboard with block inlays and binding 70’s pickup position 4,3 kg 19mm string spacing incl. PROTEC gig bag www.alleva-coppolo.com

Alleva-Coppolo LG5 Standard with matching headstock as new
Elguedd posted a topic in Basses For Sale
For sale is my absolutely mint Alleva-Coppolo Bass LG5 Standard in black with matching headstock. I bought and imported the bass in January 2020 directly from Bass San Diego in the USA. Due to Corona I have only played the bass at home until today. So no stage, no rehearsal and no studio. An impeccably crafted instrument with no dents or dings. Very good B-string and very balanced sound over the whole fretboard. Alder body with rosewood fretboard and 60s PU position. Everything works perfect. Neck is straight, no fretwear. Micro scratches are of course present and cannot be avoided with black lacquer. Shipping would be possible. Price is 4.500,- € -
