fingerz Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Now will accept £2800.00 Sale only please. [color=#ff0000]***Soundclip not working for some reason, I've stuck it on my website, here's the link[/color]: [url="http://jophillpotts.com/www.jophillpotts.com/FOR_SALE.html"]http://jophillpotts....m/FOR_SALE.html[/url] I'm selling my beautiful Alleva Coppolo LM5 Deluxe. Blocked and bound stunning example of Jimmys work. This bass has a vintage tint on the neck, the inlays and binding look really pretty in this finish. Stunning. If you are looking for a funk machine with an amazing slap tone this bass will get you there. Really traditional in sound and feel. Spec: Body - Ash Neck - Maple Fingerboard - Maple. Block inlays, bound (Deluxe model) Electronics - AC single coil pickups. AC pre amp. Straplocks -Dunlop Scale length - 34" String spacing - 19mm @ bridge Strings - DR Fatbeam 45-125 Year of construction - 2009 Weight - 10lbs 4oz Comes with a hard case. This bass really is a lovely instrument, and does the Ash/Maple 'thing' so well, but with a 5th string. You are welcome to come and try it if you need convincing! Condition: Really good condition. There is a small mark on the headstock and a ding on the side of the body near the jack. The two pre amp controls have a tiny crack in the lacquer (not in the wood) coming from their mounting holes. I gather this happened in shipping, very minor and hard to photograph. Zero issues here. Worth mentioning that the A string groove on the nut is a touch low with my DR strings. Very easy to sort this, I was going to do this but I need to raise some funds and my GAS is through the roof at the mo! Really would rather have the bass collected/arrange to meet. But I can arrange for it to be shipped if really necessary. At buyers cost/risk of course. Please PM me with any questions you may have. Thanks for looking and I look forward to hearing from you.

fingerz Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 PS. My photos don't really do it justice. It is on the SOLD section of BassGear. I'll post a link when their site is back up and running (Seems to be having trouble today).

fingerz Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 [quote name='sadbass' timestamp='1425337163' post='2706419'] you have sample this bass? [/quote] I have a little sample I recorded the other day, with cold hands on my old system. I am updating my home studio, so I will update the recording (warm hands I can feel!) if/when I get it up and running. Either way it is straight in, no amp/EQ. It gives you a pretty good idea. PM me your email address and I will get something to you if you are interested.
