LM

As the popular music of the 60’s and early 70’s continued to grow to an even more popular world-wide reach in the mid to late 70’s what noticeably increased in popularity was smooth radio (smooth Jazz) and a worldwide takeover of Disco. Our LM series achieves those tones as well as what we consider a more contemporary sound that players search for still to this day. We use Northeastern Ash for the body and an all Maple neck (rosewood fingerboard available by custom order) which achieves that 70’s snap for those needing a little more snap or pop . The hard northeastern Ash gives that tight low-mid bump which will still cut through in the mix. Unlike our alder bodied basses these basses are painted in a polyester finish to stay period correct to that sound- however like all Alleva-Coppolo finishes even this polyester finish is painted in a very thin skin as to not smother the tone and to allow the wood to breath and get better with age. As with the LG & RA the LM too includes our bypass-able two-band ALLEVA-COPPOLO preamp and our custom in-house pickups designed to correctly represent this era of bass building.
