jazzpunkrock Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) Hi, I'm selling my AC RA4 custom. It was originally made for Mitch Starkman and I bought it about 7 months ago from Bassgear. It has some ding and dots but it's hard to see anything on the bass unless you look very closely. Overall it is in very good condition. RA standard basses are finished in poly lacquer but this bass is finished in nitrocellulose lacquer which is more expensive than poly. ProTec gig bag is included. Bass locates in Estonia.[list] [*][b]Scale Lenth:[/b] 34” [*][b]Nut Width: [/b]1.5" [*][b]Fingerboard Radius:[/b] 7.25” [*][b]Neck Shape:[/b] Vintage taper [*][b]Bridge:[/b] Vintage nickel plated stainless stell [*][b]Pickups:[/b] Alleva-Coppolo Home made [*][b]Preamp:[/b] Alleva-Coppolo 2 band [/list][list] [*][b]Body Wood:[/b] Alder [*][b]Neck Wood:[/b] Maple [*][b]Fingerboard:[/b] Maple [*][b]Tuners:[/b] Hipshot [*][b]Price: [/b][color=#5A5A5A][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4][b][s]£ 2700[/s].-[/b][/size][/font][/color][color=#ff0000][font=helvetica,arial,sans-serif][size=4][b]2550[/b][/size][/font][/color][color=#5A5A5A][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4][b].- or €[s]3200[/s].- [/b][/size][/font][/color][color=#ff0000][font=helvetica,arial,sans-serif][size=4][b]3000[/b][/size][/font][/color][color=#5A5A5A][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4][b].-+ shipping[/b][/size][/font][/color] [*][attachment=132160:IMG_2666.JPG] [*][attachment=132161:IMG_2664.JPG] [*][attachment=132162:IMG_2669.jpg] [/list] Edited September 20, 2013 by jazzpunkrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCB Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Very nice. What colour is that? Looks in the pics like Dakota red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Or is it CAR? Hard to see if it has the metallic sheen of CAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzpunkrock Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Sorry but really I don't know how we should call this kind of colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brams77 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) I think it is car, it has the red of dakota but It's metallic aswell... So It's car, and knowing Coppolo he prolly uses fender colors on Many if his basses Although he does do quite radical stuff too, which I don't care about, must be california that goes hippy on him, f@ck hate that:) Oh but Like this one tho GLWTS Edited April 10, 2013 by Brams77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzpunkrock Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) There is one jam where I played with RA. There is no EQ added on bass track. Just two channels mixed together: DI and mic. I used MarkBass Little Mark Tube 500 (DI channel) and Schroeder 1012 cab (mic cannel). The bridge pickup is full up and neck pickup rolled down by 1/4. Tone rolled almost full down.

jazzpunkrock Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 The only trade option would be Alleva Coppolo LM5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 It's Candy Apple Red - it is Jimmy's take on this colour so maybe not quite the same as a Fender. In fact I've seen a few modern CAR Fenders and they are a much deeper red than this one. Jimmy's looks more like it's been around for a while and has some fading (this is how it was from new but, with a nitro finish, it will fade a little more over time). It's a great bass. One of the very best AC's I've ever played - and I've played a few! Personally I like the RA series as I'm quite a fan of early 70's Fenders with alder bodies but the 70's pickup spacing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
