Club Alleva-Coppolo (Part 15)

[The Butler]

Hey guys,
Here's one on Ebay, but I think he doesn't know what he has. Looks like an LM5 to me.

Huh...... small world,,,,I know that seller.

 

[Andrew Jones]

I got a dollar that says that's a RA with pearl blocks. Chris knows his fenders,,, as in KNOWS his fenders the add say early to mid 70's.

I won't take the bet. i always forget about the RA model. I just new it wasn't an LG5.

 

[YCBass]

Actually if that is the same bass I'm thinking about it is indeed an LG5, but a Custom not a Classic. It has a brand new poly finish body with a reconditioned maple neck/board. I posted it here on the club thread when it became available at the shop.

 

[Andrew Jones]

I just did the compare the rear pick up to the knobs thing. 60's

Yep, that's definitely 60's position.

 

[svtb15]

You are right.. That would make it an LG Custom..
Similar to this bass. its my old LG... actually, the neck on the current ebay bass is the sister neck to the one on my LG

Yep, that's definitely 60's position.

Man, A/C's really look good in those G&G cases. I might order one for my LM5 when I get it.

I inquired about that bass at one point if I remember right,,,


Poly body,Nitro Neck,Hundurian board.

Just describe the bass and the previous owner to Jimmy and he'll remember.

Thanks for the info Aj I may send him an email with a picture and get all the the details. having this web site and being able to swap one great bass for another has been a wonderful thing I've had the chance to own some great basses and I've been gassing for an AC for a long time

lol exactly! You look at the pic and the first thing you think is "wow, nice classic Fender!"...then you realize there's an extra string, and then you realize that the headstock doesn't say Fender...

+1 ... Nice fit.... and you get that nice orange crush too.

 

[svtb15]

I think he may have a few pics of his Inca Silver LG5 in that case.. Dont know.

AC Customer Service ...

I own an LG and love the sound but am at odds with 19mm spacing on a 5 string. Every time I play it, I don't want to sell it though, cause it really is all that. The old heart vs mind battle.

Anyway, I recently determined had a problem with the bass ( the details of which i don't feel are the important thing here, as each situation that comes along is unique with differing solutions). I took down my For Sale Ad and emailed Jimmy. I was professional about it, I feel, but quite direct in my approach (which might put some people off). I got an email stating that the office was closed due to NAMM ramp-up.

About an hour later I got a detailed email from Jimmy directly, offering a number of options to not mitigate, reduce or compensate for the problem, but to totally eliminate it.
I was very impressed.

I am just a schlubb that enjoys playing the bass. I have no connections or affiliations with AC, and was treated with TOP NOTCH problem resolution during perhaps Jimmy's busiest time of the year.

My conclusion is that AC's customer service and dedication to the products/customers is simply SECOND TO NONE .... PERIOD.

Good.

Really, this is the kind of thing I'd typically expect to hear, too.

Love to hear that. Cool

Love to hear that. Cool

The guy is truly amazing and dedicated.
I can state that first hand... props where props are due.

 

[svtb15]

Yeah i called him yesterday to wish him Happy thanksgiving and he was in the shop chopping wood instead of spending it with his wife friends and dog Caesar..
...
Someone delivered a mixed and wrong pallette of wood that he ordered so he had to go through it to pick what was his..
It never ends...
Good customer service story. Glad it worked out

Love to hear that. Cool
