*SOLD* Alleva Coppolo LG5 Classic Supreme Limited Edition £4500 Europe, The Netherlands, Hilversum

[will4bass]

Considering selling both my lovely Alleva's. I am lucky to have owned and still own many great basses so the slightest and most of all personal preferences make a difference: I concluded I like a flatter radius better.

Olympic white (nitro) Alleva Coppolo LG5 Classic Supreme Limited Edition built in 2010 for the 2011 Namm Show, alder body, one piece maple neck, exotic rosewood board (quite likely Jimmy-wood) with dots and bindings, matching headstock, 21 frets, 34", 60's spaced homegrown AC Pickups and pre amp, 10" radius, +/-19mm spacing AC vintage bridge, Hipshot ultra light tuners, 4,6 kgs. Some signs of playing wear and some dents at the bottomside of the body. Has a thin shim in the pocket: can do without but I like it better this way. Plays great with low action and mighty fat/low mid focused sound with more brightness than one may expect from 'normal' rosewood: 'rich overtones' as one may call it. This is quite as vibrant as a great Fender early '60s 5 string Jazz Bass would be, and then some. 

Trades considered with Alleva Coppolo 5 strings with 12" radius at least, Stenback 4 or 5, Sadowsky 5 string Jazz Bass maple board early unchambered series (90's produced), Ken Smith 6 string (19mm spacing), early sixties Fender Jazz Bass or Precision bass, Steinberger XL5 wide bridge, Fodera 5/6 string maple board/19mm.
