jazzpunkrock Posted April 9, 2013 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 It was originally made for Mitch Starkman and I bought it about 7 months ago from Bassgear.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

JCB Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Very nice. What colour is that? Looks in the pics like Dakota red?
JCB Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Or is it CAR? Hard to see if it has the metallic sheen of CAR.
jazzpunkrock Posted April 10, 2013 Author Posted April 10, 2013 Sorry but really I don't know how we should call this kind of colour
Brams77 Posted April 10, 2013 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
HazBeen Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Good to see the Allevas are really affordable . Lovely bass!
jazzpunkrock Posted April 12, 2013 Author Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Thanks KuzBass! Edited April 12, 2013 by jazzpunkrock
jazzpunkrock Posted April 12, 2013 Author 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 Posted April 13, 2013 The only trade option would be Alleva Coppolo LM5.
molan Posted April 13, 2013 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
jazzpunkrock Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 New price.Just I need extra money for buying new AC LM5
lozbass Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Bargain. Some of the finest Js around - ACs are my favourite of the super-Js by some distance
Bass'ncats Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 This is a great 4 that I really do miss. ( nice tone on the recording!) Good luck with the sale too.... Cheers, Mitch
jazzpunkrock Posted September 10, 2013 Author Posted September 10, 2013 Like I see there is raining AC's!
