Club Alleva-Coppolo (Part 19)

[LiF]

Okay, so I just completed my first full day at the Players School. I got lots of positive comments regarding the looks of the LM5. I played it through a Mark Bass amp. It sounds great. Rich and clear with a real depth to the tone. Also feels good to play. Sort of right, ergonomically.

Try to get to the beach in Clearwater while you're there (over the bridge). One of the best public beaches in the nation.

I have an A/C Pbass from 2004 that matches this. You made an excellent choice.

Looks like I'm joining the club sooner then I thought

Purchased an LG4 Classic in Sunburst Nitro finish from Jimmy last. Should be getting it this Friday It was used by Willie Weeks for a little while and in great condition.

Finally after a 5 years of curiousity, I got one

Pics from Jimmy's shop taken last night. Looks like it still has the pastic on the rear cavity plate.

Frenchy's is nice, good luck with the school, let us know how things are going.

My boy Chris "Big Chew" Chew, from North Mississippi Allstars, just got this yesterday. Chew likes big necks, so he has a 5 string neck on his.

Did he not play at the APOLLO THEATRE as the house band? Big chew and the crew.

Nope. That was Ray Chew and the Crew. Ray took over American Idol after Ricky Minor left.

Grouper. The haddock of Florida.

I got this photo from Jimmy last night. He did a sealer coat on my LM. The bass looks ridiculous!

I still need to choose a color. The grain on the one piece body is so nice I really, really should go trans or natural -- But I'm really tempted still to do CAOJ as I love that look.

 

[Modern Growl]

Quick question for you guys - are Jimmy's pickups wound the same for all models (LG/LM/RA) ?

I'm guessing they are.

[Joelc73]

All good points guys... It does look pretty smokin' as-is! We'll see.

That grain is awesome. Gotta go trans!

 

[ACB0015]

Leave it like it is. Don't even add a pickguard.

Don't even add pickups or electronics. It's too perfect
