Hey, local lad? Thanks for the offer but trying really trying to sell this one....

[quote name='mrbassman_de' post='763590' date='Mar 4 2010, 06:48 AM']Weight ?[/quote]

The only method available to me to measure the weight is a set of digital bathroom scales, an they read 10 pounds. So sort of medium weight for the era that the bass was manufactured in.... I have certainly played 70's Jazz basses a lot heavier than this. Also much lighter than my Fodera Imperial, Ash, Maple, Olive Wood and I know that basses weight is 10.9 pounds. Neck joint is also good considering you can park a VW Camper Van in some of them........It's a great example of a late 70's bass.

For Sale,

My Fender 1979 Jazz in great condition, straight neck no pulling in of the headstock. Body and neck aged beautifully, massive tone..nails all of the 70's ash maple sounds perfectly. Comes with the original pickup and bridge covers, also has the Fender tags including the inspection stamps..serial numbers on this correspond to the headstock and number on the underside of the scratchplate. Also included is the original case. A great sounding bass. £1400.00

[quote name='The Bass Doc' post='736441' date='Feb 5 2010, 05:19 PM']And I've still got a '66 machine head for you boss. [/quote]

Yeah I know, I'll have it....dont let it go anywhere.

My 78 has all the recognised pitfalls of the era with the routing and weight, however the neck pocket and neck stability are very good which makes good the debate they got some right..and I would put up with all these issues for the tone alone. Arguably one of the most recognised and copied bass tones of the last decades has been Marcus Miller on a Fender late 70's J Bass.. so many boutique bass manufacturers emulate this era with this sound in mind.

I also have a 1966 J Bass which is stunning. However I do strongly believe in the fashion of which the basses were and are still produced, there always has been a Fender lottery for build quality and sound.

[quote name='loudandclear' post='734941' date='Feb 4 2010, 12:23 PM']Yes Indeed why you selling such a fantastice bass![/quote]

Hey Terry,

How are you? 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

Thank you chaps!!

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

No, not on my 1966....

I've owned four Fodera's, all from new two from dealers in the US and two from Fodera directly. I have mixed opinions on the basses especially the price and waiting period argument, with custom orders as high as fifteen thousand dollars these days you have to be seriously hooked on one to validate that type of money. Also dealing with them as a company can be extremely frustrating PM me if anyone would like greater detail on this. My Emperor pictured below was built as a replacment to a Ying Yang Monarch that was returned to Fodera with a neck issue, and in fairness they built a stunning bass in it's place. It's also featured on their website on the Emperor page. Nice basses.

Don't think thats a Moon Bass, I think it's a Pensa Suhr. It's certainly not the Moon logo on the headstock and the angle traditionally installed for the neck pickup on a Moon would make it very difficult to install a front pickup cover as seen in the clip. Also the headstock shape smacks of a Pensa Suhr to me, now just made by John Suhr. Nice basses.

[quote name='molan' post='675237' date='Dec 5 2009, 08:25 PM']What's the difference between the LG & LM series?

Is the body shape more 'modern' on the LM?[/quote]

LG basses 60's era wood combination, alder/rosewood
RA basses early 70's wood combination, alder/maple or rosewood
LM basses 70's wood combination ash/maple or rosewood
1600 Limited basses are Jimmy's take on exotic tops and variations of the above.

Copollo basses are all full size Jazz body's not modern as in the Sadowsky shape.

Thanks, had it since May. They really are amazing basses and a great fella to deal with.

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='447833' date='Mar 28 2009, 12:23 AM']Am not sure what an SWR 4x10 will have that the EBS does not; but hey its your cab.[/quote]

In my experience having owned both of these cabinets the SWR has a significantly greater low frequency performance. The EBS IMO has a noticeable attenuation on the bottom end, this is reflected in the frequency response of the respective cabinets EBS 70hz -18khz, SWR -3db@40hz-15khz...
The Goliath is also easier to handle being 11 pounds lighter. Both great cabinets.....
