BossHog Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) For sale one Alleva Copollo LM5 Deluxe, ash body, maple neck with blocks and binding, AC single coils with Copollo two band eq. The bass was purchased in June 2009 from Alleva Copollo and is in brand new condition. A lightweight bass for this style of solid ash body instrument, I would take a guess at 9-9.5 pounds, fantastic sounding and playing bass. I will try to post better pictures but my daughter has decided to liberate my camera from my possession so more will follow, the bass is not quite as red as it looks in my picture must have been the lighting in the room so I have attached a more representative picture of the finish from Jimmy's website. So it's the Deluxe five not the four string for sale here. £2500.00 [attachment=41775:029.JPG] [attachment=41774:large_2__1_.jpg] Edited February 5, 2010 by BossHog
molan Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Fantastic basses - amazing attention to detail and peerless build quality!
NJE Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 That is amazing, I promised myself as soon as I saw a AC come up for sale on here I would buy it. Sadly I am about £2490 short so have a bump anyway. These have to be the nicest looking Jazz basses I have ever seen and one day I will own one. Good luck, I am sure it wont last long.
lozbass Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 So many superb J clones out there but (for me) ACs stand out as something quite different. The philosophy behind the basses and build really does it for me, so too the incredible craftwork and playability. Tone is very personal of course, but the ACs I've tried sound exactly as they should, then a bit. Good luck with the sale - a very good price for some of the best in current US hand-building

I have a 1966 Jazz Bass that I always pick up over everything I own..it's a curse. The gig I had that lent itself to a five string bass has now changed so I find myself playing my Fender basses. With the exeption of recording with the Copollo recently it's just not getting an outing, It's such a beautiful bass it deserves to be played so I would rather sell it in pristine condition. I ordered the bass from Jimmy last year at the Namm Show and he is such a nice guy, very passionate about construction and tone of his instruments. He really deserves the accolades his instruments are now receiving. Hope your well. Mick Edited February 4, 2010 by BossHog

Marlat Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Sorry, just that the portrait photo of yoru rig with the AC5 in front of it makes the rig look very tall. No harm intended!

Toasted Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Yes. Flanker owns it now. He has another AC for sale if you search, and for a very good price too. Joe
