Club Alleva-Coppolo (Part 17)

[KJung]

Nice vid, and of course I still hate you for that killer LM, but my LG helps me get over it nicely.

Thanks! You are going to dig your upcoming Thunderchild with that LG. That is a GREAT combination.... punchy and growly down low, crystal clear and smooth up top!

Thanks! The F500 and both cabs are 'relatively neutral' compared to most other stuff out there. So, a great bass like the A-C sounds 'great' right out of the box!

After 5 years now, I am still thrilled with my LM! Alway comes through for me, and literally drama free... stable neck, quiet, and sounds like a J should sound IMO!

Your old LG is coming out with me to tonight's gig. That bass works in every setting! One of my all-time favorite instruments.

Very cool! That is just a stunning bass, and sounds and looks amazing. I'm so glad it is getting played! It is a special instrument IMO!!!!

Please give us a pic of that. It's my favorite.

Had a few minutes with an empty house after work today.

The drummer I've jammed with for years named it Darryl. Extra points for the first person who gets the reference.

Does anybody know what Capacitor Jimmy uses in his passive basses and how it compares to vintage Fenders?

 

[ACB0015]

Is it for Darryl Hannah 'cause it's a nice piece of ash?

I have him put .022 in mine. I prefer it over .05.. I think the .022 is standard now in the J basses...

Less range/sweep or more w/ the .22?

It's actually .022 (not a .22), and it means less. Also, depending on where you shop, you may not find a .050, but instead a .047, but that's basically the same thing for this applicatin, so they're interchangeable.

Hey, I did a little digging on this, and it seems like the .047/.05 cap is standard/typical for 60's, but the .022 is what they used in the 70's? At least the Fender American '75 RI uses a .022. Interesting!
