BossHog Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 [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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea seems to be going down very well with some US players. I'm not a fan of big bodied basses myself, however, I've noticed that my AC (an LG4 - a full size Jazz body as BossHog indicates) actually feels and looks quite small and compact. I'm not sure just what Jimmy is adding in terms of dimensions (depth of body or more?) but I can see that the idea could work without compromising the feel, comfort and aesthetic of a Jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That woke me up but I'm afrtaid Rod sent me back to sleep very quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozbass Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Further to my last, Jimmy Coppolo is producing a Jazz with a slightly larger body, apparently it's about 1/4" bigger all round. I think it's for 5 strings (mainly) to achieve greater visual balance given the width of the neck. Full details appear in the Alleva Club thread on Talkbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have a great US friend who would buy stuff for me & ship over but they got fed up after one bass was mis-delivered by UPS about 3 times 7 they ended up having to drive 2 hours each way to collect from a depot Edited December 24, 2009 by molan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
