Well this one I was going to keep but now Rodney had to go and list his Sadowsky so this ones gotta go.

Here are the specs:
LG5 w/ indian rosewood board
alder body
Inca Silver w/ matching headstock
Nitro finish

The bass is in great condition except for a small scratch on the back by the control plate. The control plate still has the plastic on it. I will try and get a pic.

Price: $2800
Including Alleva-Copplolo gig bag & shipping in the lower 48 states.

Paypal e-check prefered.

It's killing me to resist this.. the price is so good.

can you describe its sound? it must have Alleva mojo right?
what is the weight?

oh, it looks so good. must resist...

It definately has the "Alleva" mojo. I don't have a scale but it feels about the same as my 55-94. Not to heavy IMO.

Big bump on this one. This price is amazing for this spec. I believe this bass would be over $4K if purchased new.

While I was never a fan of Nitro finishes, my LG has totally flipped me on that. Jimmy's finish guy is the 'best of the best' regarding Nitro spraying, and the Nitro LG's just feel SO old school and vintage. I have the same RW board on my LG, and it's among the best I've ever seen or felt.

Wonderful bass if you are looking for a very mid or late 60's vintage J vibe in a perfect fit and finish 5 string active bass.

If I didn't have my surf green LG, I would be ALL over this.

Yep. By my calculations, somewhere in the vicinity of about $4,400-4500.

you know Alan i think you should stick to your original plan of getting a brand new Alleva. think about it... you could personalize it to your likes and fancy. just imagine what a lovely instrument you could have... you could even put it for a comparisons with Vic's!

yes i wanted this one! good one Alan, great score!!

but if you ever feel likes she's not the one just send me a PM.

HAH! That's NOTHING. Thing is, nitro is also probably the most "repairable" finish there is. Lots easier to deal with than poly. Personally, especially noting the location, unless it was down to bare wood, I'm not even sure I'd bother with it. Otherwise, I might touch it up.
