| | |  FSO: Alleva-Copollo LG5 as new
Sign in to disble this ad
Brand new/Mint LG-5 (still has tuning covers and plastic sheet on the pic - guard. Surf Green Nitro with DN (Brazilian) Rosewood/Maple board.
8.95 lbs. ... Comes with Jimmy's hardshell case and ships in the original AC carton.
Fret board is a DN/Maple laminate ala Paul Turner's original Oly white LG. What you get is the DN warmth along with a nice articulate attack. This bass kills and resonates like heck.
If ordered today, this bass would cost $6500+ and be a year out minimum.
$4999 firm, no trades ... + shipping to the lower 48 only.
Better pics to follow (camera died) ...

| What does this mean? Are you saying it's a laminated (i.e. 3 piece) maple neck with a DN board?
Thanks

Edit: No (misunderstood you at first, sorry) It is a conventional (1 piece) AC neck but with a thinned down maple board laminated to a thinned down DN board just like Paul Turner's original build. Similar to what Fender did for a while in '63(?).
.... here's a rough of my neck early on.

| | | | Yup, really tough to give up, but I'm one of those whimps moving over to the dark side of (girly girl) 16mm spacing builds.

Oh ... I'm crazy all right. |

| | | | So, pardon the dumb question, but would that mean that this bass is 17 mm spacing ? |

I'm assuming he ended up going with the Hipshot B instead of Jimmy's proprietary bridge that is in the inset photo. Jimmy's bridge is very cool, though. Had it on my LG5. |

I can't make heads or tails of the fingerboard ???
It looks like another blank ( fretless neck superimposed over the original board- )-also, the second board protrudes into the pick guard 
For real though, is it me and my terrible eyes OR--does anyone else see this ?????
NICE bass by the way, and more pics would be real cool 
Good Luck |

;>D | I hear you man, that is the ONLY reason I don't ALWAYS play my AC's. Mind you I'd be OK with slightly less girly 17mm.
That's a beauty and some macho man is going to dig it! | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
