Thanks Ace. Make sure you share your soon to be pics of the LG5. You will be happy. Do you know what number it will be?
I have no idea. I felt like I was kinda bugging Jimmy a bit (especially the color of the bass), so I just sent him an e-mail a couple of weeks back with my final specs and decided to leave him alone. The next time we talk will probably be when I go to Bass Player Live. I'm supposed to drop by the shop before they leave to set up his booth. I'll be sure to ask him then, though........

I played an awesome sunburst maple fiver today. I see why you guys are going on about them. I don't even usually dig that colour combo, and I wanted this one.
I'm really happy to announce that my LG5 is approaching completion. Jimmy dropped me an email last week to say that the body was back from paint and that he was working on fretting the neck.
I'll have a review and pics up as soon as possible. I'm guessing it will be about 2 weeks. Hopefully, I'll have an apartment by then so I have a shipping address!

Congrats! Looking forward to the review. Also, I'd like to know what strings you end up going with.......
That is something that I meant to ask Jimmy, what are the string choices? I am not a Stainless fan at all now...
Peace,

I know Jimmy likes the Zon strings. I am trying to find out who makes them for him (Zon). I am in a search for the ultimate strings - aren't we all - But the Zons do sound good on the A-C. I may go back to them. They have a real sweet fat lower end to them. I tried the Hi Beams with a 125 (3 sets). Like them too. But I have a pair of Low riders with 130 that Im iching to try real soon. Like today. I would like also try the Fodera's. Being its new I will try alot of them till i find the perfect match. To my ears the Zons had a nice tone to it.
But no matter what set I put on the neck is very stable. Another great part of the Alleva Coppolo's.

I have Hi Beams 45-125 on mine, and they sound and feel GREAT. Actually, the Low Riders would sound great too, and might actually bring the 'vintage' vibe out a little more, since they are just a touch more 'raw' sounding to me.
Jimmy was very cool about finding a set of my beloved Hi Beams and setting the bass up with them prior to shipping.
By they way, the Alleva was again quite a hit (along with quite a few other very nice basses) at our little GTG yesterday in Detroit.
Cool! Welcome back to the good old US of A. That's a very nice 'coming home' present. We will look forward to the pictures and your impression of the bass in a couple of weeks!

Jimmy is coming out with a special custom string sets soon... He uses a few select brands right now for the basses that he ships.. Depending on what people request.
But he will be coming out with his formulated Nickles, Stainless, flats, and Acoustic or electric guitar string .. I think he said about a month or so.. maybe by bass player live..
