Alleva-Coppolo LM-5 (Empress/Maple) bought from John at Bass San Diego in 2015. This is an extremely rare bass built by Jimmy Coppolo. He only made and hand full (5-6) LM-5 models out of Empress wood. And this is one of them. The bass response is superbly even and clear. The low B string has to be one of the best I've ever played at any price range of bass. This bass, being just over 7 lbs., is insanely light and can be worn and played all night. The Empress basses, as Jimmy says, have the mid-scoop of a 70s style LM/maple jazz bass, but with a slight bit of a "modern" twist. The finish is a throwback to the early 80's (the finish is called "Sienna Burst") and it features beautiful block inlays and custom "Fender Strat" knobs. It has white pickups too! This bass is both passive and active (bass and treble boost when switched to active). As you know Jimmy's work, the craftsmanship on this bass is paramount and this bass was made in a great time when Jimmy was really producing incredible work.

This LM-5 was recorded direct into a Presonus Scarlett 18i8 and directly into Logic (MacBook Pro). No EQ or effects of any kind were added in post.

Please note, the bass on the preamp was turned up to about 25-30% and the treble to about 10% throughout the recording of this video.

Thank you for watching!
