This is the first Coppolo bass from 2014, it was the terminal for the first chapter of my bass adventure, and about 3 years after, I traded it for a lg5 classic supreme thinking I'd be set with their most fancy offering.  The adventure moved on and the more fancy basses I played, the more I miss this one that started it all .   Not to the point that i'd call it a regret, but the more I tried and learn about basses, the more I realized how great this one sounded.  In Nov 2020, with great help from my friend Mike , I was able to aquire this bass back.  I should never let it go again.  

my first attempt on covering this song.  best bass line ever ..

New string try out day for BN5 ..     Dean Markley SR2000

beside wiping the body / neck once in a while, there are a little more we can do at our own at home that will keep the instrument at the best condition.  and these few things take about 30mins in total.
