That would look killer. There is a guy who posts over on the Nordstrand thread who has that color combination for his Nordy, and it is just beautiful. I would thing a poly Surf Green (if there is that option) with a gloss maple neck and no matching headstock would look great, and also be quite affordable.

I wanted to share a quick video of me playing my Willie Weeks Alleva Coppolo. This is from a live in studio set we did for Lifechurch.tv. There are 3 total sets and this is the first of the 3.
Set List.
Song of Hope
There is a Call
You Have Stirred My Soul
Turned out good I think. We recorded it at our studio outside of Houston and had a blast.
I am loving the bass and I actually think I struck a deal with Leona1 for the Burgundy Mist Alleva Coppolo P Bass!
Let me know what you think of the video

Thanks for posting the link. Sounds great man!! Dig the bass tone and the tasteful lines. I've played Song of Hope a couple times at different churches and really dig the line you play. Really adds to the tune.
So you know, I love your Harvest Gold LM5. I think it's a great combination and I could easily pick that color if I were looking for an LM.
Hey LiF, here is my new bass, CAOJ and Tort w/ Maple board... I think it looks hot!
Sorry for the poor quality cell phone pic but you get the point.
Hey Yohann....most people here dont know that your bass looks even better in person
That bass was one of my favs at the booth.Also, great meeting and hanging with you and Kirk and Miko and everyone...and I'm going to try for sat or sun afternoon over there, depending on weather.
Cheers

Hey Yohann.
I surprisingly ended up liking the Pink Shortie. The string spacing is pretty tight but I started getting comfortable with it immediately. And it sounds a LOT like a P-Bass. I didn't try the blue one because I prefer the rounded finish on the Pink one. I would most definitely gig the Pink Shortie for it's looks AND sound.
I must say though that the highlight for me was that Red LM4 with the maple board, black binding, and white pearloid pickguard. That bass KILLED!!!

If you go back a couple of pages theres a pic of Jimmy kneeling with two basses.You see the back of that bass,,,,Nice captur of what that color looks like.
I totally dig it too, but it is a bit like those 'Orange Juice' colored basses.... the color prompts a lot of 'dig it' and 'really don't dig it' comments. Color and aesthetics are such a personal thing that it is hard to even talk about. One of my least favorite color combinations is a classic 59 burst with tort guard and RW board.... dark and dull looking to me.... a combination of 'no contrast but still too much going on' with all those similar colors piled together. Of course, that's probably the most popular color combination of all time
Here's a white-maple LM combo for your consideration...She pops on stage...
I've always totally dug the look of that bass.. crisp, simple, nice contrast... all business! That is just a great looking instrument IMO!
I still haven't heard a word on the two basses in Jimmy's booth with white pickups, anyone know the deal with those?

It's all about the groove!

I'm surprised to hear that - your harvest gold LM is one of the best looking jazz basses I've seen. If I didn't mind being a copy cat, I would have ordered the exact same combo for my LM on order....
here's another color combo for your consideration:

What about Blue-Sparkle Maple LM or a Lake Placid Blue-Maple LM?
I've yet to see any picture of a Blue Sparkle AC here, i'd love see a mockup of both LG5 and LM5 in that color, would that be possible for the mockup masters here?

Yeah, but that harvest gold is a pretty elegant and mild color. I'd think it wouldn't be as polarizing as something much brighter like the orange and red and such. I'm surprised to hear that. Interesting. All I got to say is it is by far my favorite of those duco style colors. I really like the CAR/LPB a lot but that gold with its earth tones just works so well with the woods.
Lack of contrast, eh? What about gold with maple and a white guard? HUH MR SMARTY PANTS?!?!
Totally just blowin' you crap dude. I love yer bass. I still have dibs on it even tho I do hope (and expect) to never exercise them.
