Sign in to disble this ad
So back on the chopping block is my custom Warmoth build featuring all Alleva-Coppolo hardware and 2 band pull knob active/passive preamp as well as a Nordstrand Big Single (and free Nordstrand NP5 pickup if you feel like installing it....I even have the stencil to do it!). I paid about $2600 for this guy if you include the cost of having Jimmy Coppolo's pre installed in there and it was well worth it. My original intention was to make my own Alleva~Coppolo since I couldn't afford one but about a month after I finished building it and took it on a bunch of gigs, I made a quick decision to sell one of my vintage Fenders to cop one of my favorite ACs on the used market, so this bass quickly lost it's use. Now with my 3rd AC on it's way, it's more than time to let this guy go to someone who will appreciate it and reap the benefits of a super high end bass for a small fraction of what the real thing would cost. It plays like a MONSTER and I never even bothered to install the NP5 pickup because just the Big Single sounded SO good! I'm willing to take a tremendous hit and am asking $1100 + shipping. Help a bro out and give my guy a great new home! Trades might be considered but I'd really just prefer $, thanks. |

It honestly doesn't need it tonally but it would just make it THAT much more awesome! |

it DOES come with a hardshell TKL super awesome case!
and I had the expert crew at Warmoth do the paint job and matching headstock....I think it's just trans purple but it came out SO beautifully!
Come on TB crew! Got LOTS of interest but nobody's sealed he deal yet! |

the first knob actually controls nothing right now since only the Nordy Big Single in the bridge position is wired in so the second knob alone is the volume knob right now. I was originally intending on installing a Nordy NP5 pickup in the neck position but never even bothered cause it sounded so good. I'm including the NP5 and the stencil to have it routed for free. The passive tone knob also pulls out to go into passive mode disabling the treb and bass knobs. KILLER pre....my fav onboard pre to date I have it in 2 other basses |
