Details

Hey all!
I have a set of Alleva-Coppolo pickups hand-wound IN CALIFORNIA! SUPER-creamy, punchy tone! Sounds very much like good worn-in 62 jazz pickups. No hype, just the Real Deal, imo. Silky top end, hard to describe. Buttery. Big lows, just sounds exactly like an old set of Js. Really killer. Absolutely perfect shape. They have lived in my bass since Leonardo Bosquez built this killer bass for me. I just need some hum-cancelling pickups. The basses are currently in my bad-boy Geedy Lee Super J, an alder and maple bound and blocked Fiesta Red growl machine. See pics!

I would trade for a like-condition set of Nordstrand SE hum-cancelling jazz pickups or a set of Bartolini 9w4Js (rare, but out there).

You pay shipping. Lowballs will be politely ignored. They were 250 new. If you want your bass to have the same tonal vintage magic as the AC basses, here is Willy Wonka's lottery ticket!

A set of 5 string AC pickups sold for 350. These are already 100 less than at the store. Seriously dripping with buttery highs, punchy mids, gobs of lows.

That Geddy is amazing

Awesome, thanks man! It's an Allparts body and neck, Omega bridge, Hipshot, all top shelf stuff. The Allparts necks are really outstanding! Give it a great nut and fret dress and they easily have the stable feel that great boutique jazz necks have. Sustain and punchy. Super clean finger-style is a breeze, and slap is as good as it gets.
I figured that one of the last things you'd expect to see with a bound and pearl blocked neck is Fiesta Red, but I think it looks really cool...as if Geddy Lee and a California bleach blonde from the 60s had a love child, minus the big shnozolla!

And you're in the Woodlands? I'm a band director in Magnolia! If you ever want to see the bass, I am literally right down the road!
