Alleva Coppolo Willie Weeks / Jeff Andrews Signature Model £3000 Germany

[Onox]

I am selling a special Bass with a lot of Basschat History - owned by some well known members. 

 

It is a Alleca Coppolo Jeff Andres Model. probably built for Willie Weeks, who played it on a Clapton World Tour. It is unclear to me, if Jeff Andrews owned the Bass, but there is a YouTube Clip of a Bar Gig, on wich it seems to be this Bass. 

 

Quick Facts: 

 

-Precision Bass Body with neck width between Jazz and Precision bass

-Rossewood fretboard

-Alleva Coppolo pickups and active preamp with bass and treble boost

-candy apple green nitro finish (matching headstock)

-built by Mr Coppolo during his NY era

-shown on the NAMM 2009 and used by Mr Weeks for a Eric Clapton Tour

-low action, fast neck and gorgeous tone

-condition is very good, technically perfect

-neckplate says "Prototype"

 

Comes in A Hardshell Case with two aditional Pickguards and some Jazz Bass Knobs. It has Damage in the Finish beside the Neck, but it is only of cosemtic nature.

Thanks Clarky! It´s a great Bass.

do you mind me asking the weight, and if the position of the PUs is 60s or 70s or special?

 

By the way: very nice axe.

 

 

edit: just saw weight in the original post (something over 9lbs he says), still interested if you have any clue about PUs positioning.

 

 

cheers

Luca

Lovely...I do like a green bass

@Sumatra Hey Luca, my Bathroom Scale says 3.9kg so about 9lbs seems right. I would say it is 60s Position but I can remeassure some distances if you want. 

 

@TheGreek Thanks! The Painting is lovely and reacts beautiful to different lights.
