tino Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 [quote name='molan' post='877557' date='Jun 25 2010, 04:39 PM']Hi everyone - some exciting news I think I've managed to get a bit of a 'coup' from Phil Nixon who's in the process of setting up his new BassGear business. Two of his new distrubution deals are with Alleva Coppolo and Bag End. Phil can't make it himself on Sunday but he's going to drop off a pair of ex NAMM Alleva Coppolo basses plus some Bag End cabs for people to demo on Sunday. I've known him for a while & his dad lives near me so Phil was able to drop these down for me to collect and bring on Sunday. I'll bring my two as well so we'll have 4 in total - I'm not sure there's ever been so many on display in the UK at one time! The four will be: My two 1 x LTD4, J shaped body, trans cherry finish, composite rosewood board with Aguilar pre-amp & pickups. Built for Aggie to demonstrate their electronics at Winter NAMM this year. 1 x Signature 4 - the ex Willie Weeks bass with a P bass body & J pickups plus Jimmy's J pre amp. This one has been around the world with Willie on tour with Eric Clapton Phil's NAMM pair 1 X KPB4 Classic Supreme - originally built for Chuck Rainey (who's now ordered the same basic spec but in a 5 string) in spalted cherry maple with brazilian rosewood board 1 x Ltd Edition LG5 in walnut with a walnut neck, skunk stripe & passive pre. Very rare ltd bass built as part of pair to show how Jimmy would build one of these basses with a solid walnut finish. I've tried to attach some pics below - apologies they are of different sizes and shapes - not enough time to re-size them all properly. There's also a pdf from Jimmy about the walnut basses (unfortunately I can't bring both so asked to use the 5 string as all the others are 4's). Phil has also bought some new Bag End cabs down & I'll try to fit in as many as I can. Hopefully 1x15, 1x12 & 1x10. May mean I can't bring some of my own stuff that I was planning to bring but thought this was a great opportunity to show some of these amazing basses all in one place![/quote] Fancy telling us Pikeys " theres somefing worth nicking" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essexbasscat Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 All's on course for a good day Sunday It would be helpful though if a few people could volunteer some time doing a few things such as manning the food stall, tea / coffee and security for the day. It would just give the few people that have already volunteered the chance to have a break and enjoy the day a little themselves. I've got some spuds today for jacket potatoes and will be getting some fillers such as coleslaw and tuna/ mayonnaise mix. I had a scout about and there is a local co-op food store a short car ride away (a little bit too far to walk on a hot day really). If there is demand for it I'll do a run on the day.
