MURT Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) For sale is my Alleva Coppolo LM5, trans red, Ash/Birdseye Maple, badass bridge & modern tuners factory installed, AC pickups and preamp! Great sounding and playing bass. I prefer a rosewood board and this bass is too good to only get used as often as I get to. Sale price €2900 (£2600ish?) plus shipping from Ireland. including an INCASE gig bag! Possible trade for the right rosewood/ morado board sadowsky PJ or JJ - 5 string only. But a sale is my preference and I've a particular one in mind [color=#000000][font=Times]This bass has excellent action and playability and a monster slap tone. [font=Arial]Specs:[/font] [font=Arial]- Ash Body in Trans Red/Burgundy[/font] [font=Arial]- Maple neck with Birdseye Maple Fretboard[/font] [font=Arial]- Bad Ass Bridge (factory installed)[/font] [font=Arial]- Modern shape tuners (factory installed)[/font] [font=Arial]- Alleva Coppolo Pickups with 70's spacing[/font] [font=Arial]- Alleva Coppolo 2 band onboard Preamp[/font] [font=Arial]- Pearl Pickguard[/font] [font=Arial]- Serial No. B50014[/font] [font=Arial]-[/font][font=Arial]10lb exact in weight. [/font] [font=Arial]Condition:[/font] [font=Arial]I have gigged this bass quite a bit and have tried to keep it in the best condition possible. I want to be honest with the marks it has gathered. None serious though. There are some points of player wear on the back of the body which havent broken the finish. Also a few small dings on the top of the headstock. Ive tried to include both of these in the pics. There is a scratch on the front of the body directly above the bridge pickup near the top edge about 1 inch long that could be buffed out. Tuners have small amount of scuffing from use. The main mark was on the bass when i bought it. It is under the neck along the fretboard - see pic - and has been fixed pretty well. Ive never felt it while playing but on close inspection there is a difference in finish. there are no other marks or dings on the neck whatsoever. [/font][font=Arial]I am the second owner, as far as i know the previous owner dealt with Jimmy directly.[/font] [font=Arial]I bought this used but in great condition and tried to keep it that way over the years. I can send better pics of any blemishes if i can get them as these are hard to pic up on camera. I tried my best with my camera.[/font] [font=Arial]It seems to be a low production number which has led me to believe it is one of Jimmys NYC made basses if that makes any difference to the bidder.[/font] [font=Arial]Also included is an Incase gigbag. [/font] [font=Arial]Fresh strings and a setup was just done this week.[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]These are very rare on the used market, so grab a chance to get a great bass made by a highly respected builder, used and in good condition[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]I am based in Ireland so shipping costs may be slightly higher than normal uk costs.

MURT Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Sorry guys, my bad. I'm new and it's my first post. I did flick through the rules section but it's a fair bit of info and must have missed the eBay thing. Bassist not a Solicitor ! I've seen posts with links to photobucket! Is that the done thing? I run the Bassists Ireland facebook page and its annoying when people post stuff they shouldn't. Apologies for upsetting anyone. I've edited the post above. PS it is a beautiful bass.....
