Alleva Coppolo LM5 (NYC Era) £3650 Italy (Venice)

[Merlino]

For sale my beloved LM5

Northern Ash body, single piece neck, maple fretboard.

The bass was built in NYC, and has the first bodyshape designed by Jimmy, a lot smaller than today's ACs. The headstock is smaller too, like all earlier basses Jimmy built.

About 5 kg, on my bathroom scale.

 

The color is Transparent White

Great overall conditions

The bass has some minor aesthetic defects: a scratch on the headstock, a little bump behind the base of the neck (in a position that you won't feel it with the thumb), and a mark on the edge of the lower part of the body. Otherwise it could look like new.

 

The sound is as expected, explosive in slap and really present in fingering, with an unbelievable punch. The notes speak.

Audio available on request, but please only via WhatsApp.

 

The hardware, the trussrod and the electronic are perfectly working. The frets are in almost perfect conditions and the action is incredibly low.

 

4200 euro plus shipping from Italy
