[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1410961001' post='2555058'] Very cool. I hadn't seen these before. It's like a Hohner Clavinet without the keys! [/quote] It is a pretty unusual instrument. Plugged through something like Guitar Rig with the bass and treble sides processed independently it is very flexible sound wise.

Any lottery winners out there ?

a "No love for this gorgeous bass ? " bump

Midweek bump ......

An offers considered bump .....

Friday bump and will consider offers around £2600.

confirmed as a Standard LG5 By the way, thanks for all the kind offers of trades for this bass but I'm really only looking for a straight sale on this one.

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1408450478' post='2530228'] Did he confirm which model it is? [/quote] Not yet ......

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1408444008' post='2530127'] I'll try and get some more info from Jimmy for you [/quote] No need thanks I've already been in contact with Jimmy

Thanks for the clarification ..... makes a case for them having some kind of labelling to identify the level perhaps Either way it is a stunning bass. [quote name='molan' timestamp='1408356754' post='2529224'] Is the finish nitro cellulose or acrylic? If it's nitro then it would be a Classic, if it's acrylic it's a Standard However, because it's bound & blocked it would also probably have a 'Custom' suffix. EG LG5 Classic Custom. The difference in value is greater between the Classic & Standard rather than the Custom element if that makes sense! [/quote]

Moving on to pastures new and so up for sale my lovely ...... Alleva Coppolo LG5 Tom Barney built in 2013 !! Not sure which of Jimmy's levels this is but I'm thinking by the specs it is a Classic. It certainly has some nice features that aren't standard. Alder Body finished in a lovely gloss gold colour, the finish is beautiful with a slightly green tinge to it. Flawless maple neck with not knots to dings or blemishes of any kind the headstock is also finished to match the body. Hipshot lightweight tuning machines with the lollipop pegs. Fingerboard is a nice thick piece of Rosewood and is bound, the fretwork is just lovely and the bass plays beautifully. Pearloid block inlays. Alleva Coppolo custom pickups and the Alleva Coppolo two band preamp are fitted on this bass, great sounding and very flexible and useable tone options. Hipshot bridge with 18mm spacing. Comes with an SKB case. Things to mention none of which constitute serious problems but are mentioned for completeness:- There is a slight discolouration to the neck plate, that looks just like a loss of gloss in that part of the plating. I have fitted chrome straplocks. The neck has a small shim of maple veneer to allow a more flexible action adjustment, this could be easily removed if preferred. The truss rod nut, still works perfectly, has slight burring on one of the slots. I'm sure a replacement could be easily sourced from Jimmy, But as I say the adjustment works perfectly as is. I just mention it to cover all possible nitpicks up front I'm looking for £3000 or nearest offer and would prefer local collection from NW Surrey. Thanks for looking and now for the eye candy ......

Resurrecting after a break and open to suitable trades .....

Still here waiting for a new owner. Offers considered.

Weekend bump ....... sensible offers considered.

Hi everyone, Up for sale is my beautiful Sandberg Supreme Custom 5 string bass. I bought this bass new from the ever helpful Mark at Bass Direct in January this year. I now need to free some funds for other projects and I am reluctantly letting this bass go. It is a 34" scale bass with a mahogany body and a flame maple top finished in a stunning gloss sunburst. The neck is a bolt on constructed of maple with walnut stringers it has a lovely smooth an soft satin finish. The fingerboard is a nice thick slab of ebony with 24 frets all beautifully installed and oval pearled markers. The frets were all "Plek'ed" at the factory and are excellently finished. Electronics consist of two Delano Quad Coil Extender pickups connected into a Sandberg 3 band active/passive preamp with switchable mid frequency adjustment. It can do pretty much any tone you can imagine and the preamp is quiet too. The bass weighs 10.5lbs When supplied to me the bass was strung BEADG but I restrung it to EADGC which thanks to the string guide/zero fret nut system was easy without any extra work. It could be switched back to BEADG very easily. It is in pretty much flawless condition apart from one very small ding at on the rear of the headstock, I have tried to get that in the picture. It comes with a Sandberg gig bag all the original tools and even a manual !! Looking for £1500 bought for £2450 and would prefer collection. If shipping is the only way then it will be at cost to the buyer and will be insured but will be at the buyers risk. Once again collection would be much preferred. Thanks for looking Nick ]

Gentle ...... still open to offers bump .....

An open to sensible offers bump

Hi everyone, Up for sale is my Harpejji K24 D2 instrument. It is a touch style instrument made by Marcodi in the US. Originally bought new by me in late 2010. Still in the condition it arrived in and even though played not at all worn. It is a fascinating instrument to play, loads of video on the Marcodi Youtube channel to show what it can do. I bought it due to hand issues affecting my bass guitar usage but have now returned to the bass guitar having stepped down to more manageable instruments and I no longer have the time to spend on it. It comes with all the original bits, aluminium hard case, power supply (240v) and the adjustment tools. Cost to bring one in these days is around the £3500 mark. I would let this one go at £2200 and include the excellent stand I bought for it that allows for perfect playing position seated or standing. No trades thanks just looking for a cash sale on this one. Would prefer buyer to collect too as this thing in its case is weighty and would be expensive to ship. UK buyers only please. Thanks for looking. Nick
