| | | I got a nice light Alder P body from them back in the fall and screwed it up twice trying to paint it black with laquer.
It has the PJ set up.
I think you just motivated me to get going on it again! 
Thanks  |

For the love of God though, no pickguard if there is no control plate!
Those Alleva Coppolo basses with a pickguard and no control plate look bizarre. The pickguard needs to be reshaped and beveled around the control plate area. |

| | | | That's a beautiful piece of alder. I'd shoot a transparent or translucent on it, but that's just me - I'm sure the flake will look awesome too. Definitely keep this thread updated with your progress !

You must have been reading my mind on this - I just ordered a Lull M4V, P-J (reverse stagger on the P), alder, rosewood, PASSIVE!!! Should be here in 8 to 10 weeks. Let's compare notes on our finished products if you like!

| | Supporting Member | | Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: San Antonio, TX | | | That is a seriously beautiful piece of wood. Grain and figuring are both simultaneously familiar yet unique. It just gives me the warm fuzzies, man! Warmoth did a great job for you. It's your money and your bass; but FWIW I wouldn't put a PG on it. BTW: I like the pup spacing! It looks non-traditional to me. I.E. the neck and bridge pups aren't too far from each other. Should make for some great tones! Good luck! |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Lindenhurst NY | | | That is a pretty awesome piece, did you go through the body builder or picked it from the showcase? |

| | Quatre-cordes | | Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: New Orleans, LA /El Paso TX | | thanks. I used the body builder, not too many PJ in the showcase, and it only took 3 weeks to get to me. I already have 2 natural finish basses, and I specifically chose alder so that I would not be tempted to do it clear like with a swamp ash body 
I am thinking more and more than unless it is an ash body, Jazzes should be finished like a classic car, all chrome metal and glossy colors (just like Leo thought about it)
I also have a birdseye maple neck for it but I cannot take a pic yet because it is drying right now. The less I handle it the less I would be tempted to screw with it. Finishing is a game of patience. |

Nice body there.

The shape is slightly different at the bottom to accommodate the P pickup in it's traditional location without going off the edge.  |
