Possibly OT: Lady Gaga rocks a Big Al?

This is a discussion on Possibly OT: Lady Gaga rocks a Big Al? within the Music Man Basses forums, part of the Gear Talk category; I'll freely admit that I own both Lady Gaga albums. They are currently on my iPod nestled between King Crimson ...

    I'll freely admit that I own both Lady Gaga albums. They are currently on my iPod nestled between King Crimson and Link Wray and the Wray Men.

    Anyone who thinks she isn't talented isn't paying attention, or too blind/uninformed to realize it whether you like her music, or not.


    Still doesn't excuse what happened to that poor Big AL. But, it is just wood and metal at the end of the day.
    Big Al 5SSS Sunburst, rosewood fretboard, tort, EB Flats

    Franken-Bongo 5 HHp (The Billy Bass), daphne blue, mint pickguard, EB flatwound strings

    Franken-Bongo 5 SHp (aka Moby Dick, the White Whale), black fretted neck with a abalone pickguard, EB Slinkys and a BassMute.

    The Stealth package doesn't normally do it for me. But, if there is one bass that I think I would like as a Stealth is a Big AL. So, you know, slowroast up some pics. With a quickness.








    *I would prefer black dots on the rosewood fretboard. Which, of course, defeats the purpose of having fret dots-I understand. But, I still think from a Stealth perspective, it would really embiggen the Stealthiness.
    True, I do possess a flat black Big Al. I bought it sight unseen. I was told it was black. I didn't care what color it was, it was a used Big Al in great shape. Took all of 0.5 seconds to think about. Then this showed up from the large brown bringer of delight:






    I didn't mean to stir anything up, and I have no idea why someone who was associated with Lady Gaga would have unloaded this bass. I'm just glad they did. It is an amazing bass as all EBBM basses are, but I really love the Big Al and this one and me have clicked in a big way.

    Extremely talented! That was fantastic. I personally enjoy both flavors... and appreciate her flexibility as an artist. I hope she can do more of her early type stuff in the future once fully established (a la John Mayer).

    Thanks for sharing this link. Love it!

    Yes; I blew it. I followed the links to find out more and got burned by inflammatory material. To cool my flesh I came back to the forum and cast several aspersions I shouldn't have. She got more benefit from my reaction than if I had bought all her albums twice. My apologies to the forum and sincerest to LGG.

    Keep the beer and pudding! I don't actually buy the U2 stuff, but I do dig it when I hear it. They could have kept doing the same record over and over and taking it to the bank, but they haven't. And some of those hits - yes, even the hits - were just perfect.
