Tailgate Approved!

Took the Big Al to a get together of some local bass players last Saturday. Spent some time with the attendees going through the different sounds available. It turned a lot of heads. I thought this picture was kind of humorous so I figured I should share! I must say, I'm pretty excited to be getting another one here real soon.

Good to hear.

Yeah, the Big Al is impressive.

Some Friends of mine that are heavily into vintage F.-stuff and very expensive boutique basses even had to admit the Big Al sound really great in a lot of settings.

We compared the middle pickup-sound to 3 early 60ies P-Basses and the Al came close. It does not sound exactly like a splitcoil, but the effect in the mix is the same.

Also we found out that you can emulate an Alembic Series one when you select neck and bridge and boost bass and high mids in active mode.

P and Series one in one bass is something the world has not seen before....

Another? Cool..

Looking at the picture, I think "hey, that just looks right". It just does!

Have fun

Nice a second Big Al. Which color/PG combo on this one?

 

[Psycho Ward]

Dang pretty basses those Big Al's, enjoy them Paul

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

The Big ALs are great, and that's an awesome shot of yours, Paul. We have an Ice Blue that I've been drooling over for a while, and I don't even play bass! Dave LaRue loved it at soundcheck...

 

[kylierider]

Thats a really nice looking bass. I really wish I could afford one of those. Maybe one of these days.

By that time they will be offering the "reverse" Big Al.

Gotta get my hands on that bass b4 you sell it.

Wouldn't mind getting my hands on that blonde either.

These aren't going anywhere unless I've fallen on hard times...or found a colour I like better

 

[bovinehost]

I was SO tempted to put flats on the one that's on its way....that is going to be a mighty, mighty sound.

That colour/pg/neck combo is soo sweet!
