molan Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) So I thought I'd stopped buying new toys to play with earlier this year but succumbed to a few new purchases fairly recently - all of them are basic variations on a good old Fender J but each feels, plays, sounds a little different Thought I'd bung a quick pic up of the new ones next to my trusty old '63 Jazz for reference. Apologies for the pic quality, just a quick snap with flash which is showing a few reflections and some surface marks which I didn't clean off before taking the pic! The basses are, from L to R: [b]Celinder J Update[/b] - very '70's sound, relatively heavy, really punchy & maybe my current favourite of this bunch. [b]Alleva Coppolo #2[/b] - 2nd one ever made before Jimmy decided on a larger headstock. Has Seymour Duncan pickups & pre at the moment. Haven't had this one long enough to really get a good feel for it. Very light weight. [b]1963 Fender Jazz[/b] - classic pre CBS sound & feel, refinished in its original colour of Sea Foam Green, albeit a very long time ago. Again light weight and has an absolute dream neck profile & super worn-in finish. [b]Alleva Coppolo LG4[/b] - Jimmy's take on a 60's J. Finished in nitro and has his wonderful home grown pre-amp & pickups. Just a great gigging bass that's beginning to wear in really nicely. [b]Dingwall AB1[/b] - bit of a departure for me! Just fancied trying one and have only played it briefly. Super light weight with superb balance. Lots of tonal variation from a passive setup. Need to put in some more hours on this one. . . There's a Ritter & a Roscoe currently in the house too but I ran out of sofa space, lol. Edited March 22, 2013 by molan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 All very nice (pics of the Ritter required too you know) but the Celinder has a certain something that makes me go "Mmm" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Porn indeed! Still like that 63 in seafoam best though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 All very, very nice [i]indeed[/i], but they're nowhere near gay enough - I want to see the Ritter, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
