FS: Alleva Coppolo LM5 "Limted Edition"

[MikeXbass]

Hello Fellow TB'ers and AC Fanatics,

It is with great pain that I have to be making this post. I BARELY purchased this bass from my buddy Miko Español and I cannot RAVE enough about it. Its simply a dream to play and has an INCREDIBLE sound. Since the moment I received it I stopped playing my LG5 Classic Supreme. (Its THAT good!!)

I am in need of $$$$ to make family purchases and I unfortunately have to part with one of my axes. Since my KBP4 and LG5 are Classic Supremes/matched woods and were made at the same time by the same original owner, Ive grown attached.

So I offer to you my 2011 Winter NAMM Alleva Coppolo LM5 Limited Edition bass! The price is $4500 shipped US. I am not interested in any trades since i need the money.

Specs:
One piece ash body
One piece maple neck and fingerboard with blocks and binding
Laser engraved Alleva Coppolo logo on the headstock
Color: Transparent Red
Badass V bridge
Black pickguard
Alleva Coppolo pickups
Alleva Coppolo 2 band preamp
Gig bag included
Weight: 9.5 lbs
(Ramp on photos stayed with Miko and is not with this sale)

Here are two vids: One is me practicing at home one of my solos for our live recording and then the other one is actually AT the live recording..

Bump for a great guy and a super bass... Mine is the trans white version in the last pic and is identical to this one in all other aspects. At this point I can't imagine ever selling it unless I absolutely needed to.

Good luck mi amigo.

Btw, these Limited Editions were sold for $5k at NAMM last January... Great opportunity to save big!

I would absolutely love this bass and am going to put a few basses up for sale to help me afford this one.

On another note, your playing is incredible and I really like your tone a ton. I like your bands message and I wish you the best of luck...

[MikeXbass]

Bump for an awesome player and an awesome bass.

I had this baby in my hands a couple of days ago and all I can say is WOW! Plays incredible and looks stunning! Mike says it's 9.5lbs. but it definitely felt lighter than that. Maybe it's just that the balance is perfect. I wish I had the cash for this beauty. Mike is a class act, a personal friend, and one of the most amazing bass players I know. Someone will be very happy!....

[MikeXbass]

Guys thank for all the support! Lots of interest...lets see who will take this incredible instrument home!

I also just remembered that I have an extra BA Bridge V (unopened). I had purchased it and sent it to jimmy on my original build with him. Since this LM came with it, this one also needs a home. I need to make a separate post but i figured if any of you LM owners were interested..id give ya first dibs as these are HARD TO FIND.

Thanks again!

$115 shipped

that price is crazy
but it is a hottie

[MikeXbass]

Its not for the faint of heart...haha but its worth EVERY PENNY and $500 less than NAMM show price as Yohann stated...not to mention 18 months less than ordering it new.

And YES .... SHE IS A HOTTIE! :-)

[KUETSUM]

wish i have the money bump

[pacojas]

can i pay you after the harvest?

[MikeXbass]

Depends when the harvest is ready.. :-)

[bassdoubler]

damn Mike....best of luck with the sale bro! hope everything works itself out!

[MikeXbass]

Had lots of emails with interest...some need time and others are asking me bout trades. If you are REALLY serious about buying the bass. I gave someone the option to send me a deposit and ill hold the bass for a (mutually determined time) obviously the less time, the better. Just wanted to throw it out there.

For all of you traders out there. if nobody can make a straight purchase in the near future, i may begin to entertain trade offers.
$4500 is the price to aim for...obviously Money>bass value (hence the entire reason why im selling, $$$$)

if it doesnt involve money....i will respectfully have to pass on your trade..

Thanks,
Mike X
