Club Alleva-Coppolo (Part 12!!!)

Oh boy, now this thread will be thrown into the hell of 'cables make a difference or not'.

Fortunately within the AC thread I think it could be limited to a good discussion based on experience from people with a fairly good ear.

Personally with my double bass and the KBP5 that I used to own I did have a cable preference. On the Lg5 not so much...
 
I worked (his guinea pig) with Jimmy for a while demoing unheard amounts of wire changes. this one seems to work well in passive basses.. But everyone has their likes and dislikes so it is pretty SUBJECTIVE...Many folks may not notice much at all on an active bass though,. Its only my opinion. But we did a lot of field testing.. including being run over by a forklift..:) really..

But I went through a few hi end connectors and quite few cable styles and found this to not only sound good, but when you leave your stuff out in the truck in the winter, the cable stays flexible and does not get stiff.. Functional and sounds good. I never use anything longer that a 15 foot cable.. Studio i always use a short 6 foot Alleva cable.. works great for my needs.



so I just received my Alleva-Coppolo cable, nickel rounds, and T-shirt in the mail today. Shirt is dope, strings look decent (haven't put them on anything yet), but the CABLE! So it's the exact cable as the pic on their site....but after ABing it with my custom cables from Bayou Audio and ProcablesNsound (both made with G&H straight and Neutrik silent right angle), it just blew them away....the AC cable (G&H straight and right angle) is clearly a hotter signal, and when I added some treble on my amp, the tweeter in my Epifani cab started hissing....but sonically, I think the AC cable has a much fuller spectrum and all my highs sound much louder and clearer! (I'm using TI flats on my KBP5) Definitely a sweet purchase! And Patrick made things very quick and easy, and was super on top of communication....thumbs up Alleva-Coppolo!

I ordered a new Black PG for my LG5 from Jimmy. When I saw Diglo's LG5 with dots and binding, I wrote Jimmy about making me a new neck, but since there is a new design, the new necks wouldnt fit my neck pocket. So my dream of DARK DB and dots and binding neck are gone..HA!

But im diggin the Black and White combo.
