Thanks man. I did see that one but the weight is too much for me. Too bad -- It's a beauty!

All those beautiful LM's out there and I can't find one!
You should've jumped on the rootbeer one before Jonno traded it away!
Joel, Peter is selling this one also.
I am really not doing any gigs this summer. If someone is interested in my LM5, it's 10.75 lbs, one piece maple neck with skunk stripe, blocks and binding and the neck profile is slightly deeper then standard. Its transparent butterscotch blonde with a parchment pickguard and has my name engraved on the neck plate serial number B50287 I'd be asking $4500 which is what I paid for it.
Not planning on listing it in the classifieds, serious inquiries only. Thanks.
Thanks man. I do have to get over there. He's not too far from me. I wasn't sure whether the neck profile would work for me. I need to go check it out.
Yeah, I kind of regret it now too. I waited too long.
DAMN I LOVE THAT TRANS BLACK!!!!!!!! Not big on solid black basses, but the trans is killing.
Some more A-C bass porn!!!

Just order my LM5 Standard! I'M OFFICIALLY OUT OF THE BASS BUYING GAME!!! Good news, Jimmy had an extra neck ready, so now just have to match body. WOOHOO!!! Still up in the air about color. Loving the Trans black pick... put as my first choice, but have time to change. Looks like I'm "AC4Lyfe!"
I have to get over. I may buzz him this week while I'm off.
I actually played it a while ago but was more focused on his LG at the time. I do remember it being a cool bass though.
Yeah, I just found out. But, it has a nice trans black illusion. LOL!! Thought about trans red, but too many has that color. Plus, I like a color that doesn't get a lot of attention. NO DISRESPECT TO THE PLAYA'S THAT OWN A TRANS RED. Hey, I might get a trans blue.
Thanks Gil and guys BUT I had a change of heart after a gig last Sunday where this LM Deluxe 5 just brought the house down. I CAN live with the weight and have for the last year or so, and, with the rarity and beauty of these AC basses it is much tougher to find another one. Thanks for looking guys and stuff, BUT this baby is staying right here with her sister the stupifying LG 5 CAOJ.......
Sorry Bro but nothing yet... I was at the shop Monday and the bass hasn't arrived yet. Maybe Jimmy and the owner are still working out a deal.
Here's another example... Shooting this pic at this angle last NAMM helped "get" why Jimmy insists on using 1 particular nitro painter eventhough the guy charges so much... This now Mitch Starkman's bass... I said to myself, "Wow, that looks like an old bass eventhough I know it was painted only weeks ago."
Hey Yohan, thanks for posting a pic of my Inca Silver LG5!
I have had it for about 6 months and used it on quite a few gigs. She has some "nice" battle scars! It's the most amazing bass
I have ever owned and has taken the top spot away from my RA5. I never thought that would happen. It's not the most beautiful Coppolo but it's really amazing
and she's all mine.
The Honeymoon continues...

Hey Everybody, just got back from a Mike X gig. He was playing in town and invited my wife and I down to see the band he is currently touring with. It was a real treat to get out of the shop and watch a killin performance by one of the members of our Alleva-Coppolo "Famiglia". Mike is a great player and I suggest checking him out if he plays in a town near you. The entire band was slamming, they really put their foot in it. Mike played his trans red LM5 through an Aguilar rig- huge wall of sound!!! The drummer was real tight and really brought it! And the guitar player was simply incrdible!!!- tore it up with a thinline tele. Don't want to forgot the singer, great front man (great on keys and acoustic gtr. too) had the crowd going. Even tough he sang in spanish I enjoyed his performance. Thanks Mike!!!
Also wanted to thank you all for the possitive thoughts, e-mails, phone calls, etc. regarding my dog. Jason, Kirk, and Yohan told me that some where on this thread is a page discussing him with much luv from you all. So thank you, thank you, thank you!!! All things considered he is doing real well. We're doing everything we can to keep him healthy, comfortable, happy and to live life to the fullest.
