It’s no news that Coppolo basses are obsessive to myself and many other player / collectors in the world.   Here comes something less popular.  The Alleva Coppolo 81009, the Old Fashioned Electric bass 5, the OG telecaster style precision bass, in 5 string form.

People often see the 60s style LG line from Alleva Coppolo as their ultimate, Jimmy also makes exceptional 70s style LM line.   And when it comes to flexibility, it comes to his RA line, it’s the mixture of 60s and 70s jazz bass and has the best of both worlds.   After own/tried many of them, I’ve finally pulled the trigger and had this bass built to my specs.

Electric bass was first invented in the 30s by Paul Tutmarc, then it was mass-produced in the 50’s by Leo Fender and the rest was history.  They were initially made to do what the upright bass do in a smaller, more portable package.  It was first made with frets on so that it’s easier to play, what’s also why it was called the precision bass..   Throughout the years, there were many variation and improvements over all kinds of combinations and designs.   There was first the Violin bass by Hofner in German, then until recent year, another German luthier Marleaux had build a semi-hollow electric bass with upright bass in mind.
