Club Alleva-Coppolo (Part 12!!!)

[diglo]

Thanks MixBass and Pete for info. I think I'm going to change order to a KBP5. I really enjoy my LM5 and like KJung, I feel I want need another J bass. I get all the J tone I need with it. Now, just picking color. I was going with CAOJ, but a P, to me, looks better with a regular vintage color. I'm thinking olympic white or Fiesta or Dakota Red. What ya'll think good people.

I myself have been dreaming of a CAR, white pickguard, rosewood w/ matching headstock KBP... Someday.

Ok. I went with the KBP5 in sunburst. My favorite is white, but my LM5 is translucent white. The reds are cool, but will ask myself later, "why did I pick this color?" HYPED FOR THE MOMENT!
I think I've cured my gass. Like Paper or Plastic, all I have to ask now is, "J or P?" LMAO!

 

[YCBass]

Forgive my ignorance, but by "went" do you mean you ordered a new one or you found a used sunburst one somewhere?

 

[diglo]

LMAO! A lil southern dialect. I change my LG5 order to a KBP5.

Good deal Bro... I'm gonna come by the shop tomorrow and see what completed basses Jimmy has ready to ship.

I just got cold feet about selling my baby... Maybe when my LM5 is here I will manage to part ways with her. Besides, if I am gonna take this much of a loss I might as well get some more use out of her.

VERY good news indeed! Now all you have to do is wait until the LM is IN your hands, so I can come by with my LG5 to A/B/C all 3 basses all at the same time .

Welcome to the club. Two months after I got my LG-5 I ordered an LM-5. After a month of wondering if I'd be better served with a P I changed my order to a KBP-5, sunburst to boot. Other than a '72 pj I've sold all of my other basses.

Here is a pic of my KBP5... not my pic, but it is my bass.

And another pic of my RA5.

Any feedback on what's new with the newer basses as compared to the one which I use to own?

Here's an Alleva-Coppolo that I owned about 4 years ago and at the present, fellow Tb'r Dan Knowlton still owns. I'm curious the new refinements that AC has since added as compared to older models such as this. I know the lollipop tuner is one, but what else? Since he's now local to me, I may pay visit and just maybe I'll pop on the band wagon once again since the recession has ended.

@KJung. Any links to photos of your LM5? Harvest gold, right?

Please get a shot of my LM body if he's got it there, trans butterscotch blonde and my unfinished fingerboard.....

I'm in...

This is coming to my door in less than 24hrs

Does this mean I'm a "member"?

Great Choice.. Classis. you can go any type gig with that bass color ..

And i met your friend from Lowend at the Vintage Show in Dallas this past weekend.. very cool guy.. I think Jimmy would do good doing the vintage guitar show, may be better for him to do that than Summer NAMM.. Since the Vintage guitar shows never have enough vintage basses...

Here you go! Also, quite a few views of it on my Youtube channel.

Beautiful! Thanks for that. Yes, I was watching some of those yesterday. Is that a mint pickguard?

I have now decided, this is the colour I will be ordering my LM5. I was initially set on Dark Ice, but I don't think it matches as well as Harvest Gold.

It is a mint guard.

Which bridge handles the B string better, the bent plate or hipshot? I like the b string on my LM5 with a hipshot. Any advice?
