Club Alleva Coppolo (Part 9)

Hey guys,

Thanks for the words on my bass. I can't wait til its done!

Jimmy's got a bunch of spalted alder in the shop all stacked up and ready to go. Next time I'm at the shop, I'll shoot some pics of the pieces. My buddy Ed changed the body to spalted alder instead of the regular alder on his RA5. The spalted alder is something. Very light, dry, got killer grain, and it is perfect with the 2 tone burst!

There's gonna be a 4-string spalted alder bass at NAMM. The finish is exactly the same as mine. I'm not sure about the neck and fingerboard on it though. I'm gonna be at NAMM setup on the 13th so I will take pics of everything that's there for everyone here on TB.
Hi Miko,

Did you happen to catch if Jimmy has any Dalbergia left?
 
Thank you thndrstk6 for the mock up....

Thanks Peter, I have been really busy and I just got around
to setting it up and spending some time with it today.
It came with Sadowky Blue Nickles on it. They sound okay...
but I'm thinking about putting flats on it.:hmm:

Wow Miko, your Coppolo is gonna be awesome!!

Chef, that is a GREAT pic!! Your LG-5 has a LOT of "mojo" !!:D

Happy New Year
Dan

I tried the Jamerson set on my LG5, turns out they are not at all like the strings on my KBP5, which I will not dare to take off the bass. If you want to try out the Jamersons let me know they are already cut for an AC I can ship them to you to try (not giving them away, just a loaner).

Pete
 
Happy New Year to everyone!

Yesterday I started the year right with my first Argentinian BBQ!!!

The main event of the day was picking up my bass at Jimmy's:

Hi Dan:
I had Jimmy put the TI flats on my KPB-5 and they are fantastic!! Highly recommended!

I have not tried them on my LG-5 yet by will probably do that in the future. I don't do much slapping, so loss of a little "zing" is just fine by me.

Looks sweet Miko congrats....I say put a tort guard on it but that's just me...
My other bass....????...Clue us in...

Gotta have the grain stick out bro so its the clear guard for me =)

The other bass is the bass that I helping Jimmy build, an LG5 Standard but the specs can change. It just got sidetracked by this spalted bass but that one should be done mid this year.
