Agh, it is so killer *looking*, to hear that it is also light and punchy is just frustrating. :bassist: Just a deadly looking bass and the very dark burst edges go with the ebony board to a tee.

You're not going to like this but....

I played 4 notes on it at the shop last year and said to him that it was one of the best basses I've ever picked up..plus, the same thing happened at his place a week later.

I believe that may be DN not ebony, am I correct Yohann?

@Vic.... My white LM is on the way, don't worry about a thing. :spit::D

@Mitch.... The CAR bass is Ed's LM, not an RA. And yes Miko's LG has a DN board. I don't even know if there are any Coppolo's in existence with an Ebony board, are there?

I reckon I may have played the red LM with matching headstock. When I was visiting New York in February 2008 I visited the shop and played an LM just like that one. A fantastic playing and sounding bass.

That's a different bass you played since this one wasn't completed til October last year.

There was one with an ebony board that recently sold in the classifieds. I think the owner had said the bass was made originally for Mike Visceglia.

As of right now I am not sure if there will be a TB model in San Diego... I really don't think so, unless Jimmy decides to bring the Ash/Maple one from NAMM... I don't think Tom has taken it home yet. But Jimmy hasn't said anything to me about bringing that one.

And as of right now, as far as I know the 18mm spacing is the only thing that makes it a Tom Barney - it could be an LG, LM or RA spec... But I've been meaning to ask Jimmy what he would call it if someone asked for a KBP5 w/ 18mm... Would it be a TB model? Hmmmmmm. :confused:

I will be sure to post pics and vids, this is going to be a chill hang so I should have time for that.... 4 more days, I can't wait!
