Possibly OT: Lady Gaga rocks a Big Al?

[Fuzzy Dustmite]

Looks to me like a MM bridge, compensated nut, and the Big Al pickup config, but I could be wrong...

Yipes. I guess that's what happened to the Big AL that her bass player was using on tour last year.

The controls are by her leg, too...

We sent them 3 basses to use for a 2 1/2 year tour! Most likely she took one for herself when management Kicked the band out of the gig!

Interesting but it looks like the Flat black bass we made for Tommy K while in the band!

..They have had multible backing musicians come and go since last August!

I was reading that for the UK auditions, people turned up, only to be told that the gig had already been filled....

Does look like a butchered Big Al.

Poor guitar.

Papa, paparazziiiii

I'm just glad to see some Big Al love in an extremely popular setting.

 

[DaPatrooch]

Doesn't her bass player use a Big AL?

 

[mmbassplayer]

Which one? The bass or that ridiculous outfit?

There are some things in this world that are just plain wrong and that is one of them. I understand wanting to mod your bass but that is just a "tiny" bit over the top.

[adouglas]

Reminds me of Wishnevsky....

Strange, but I find her attractive...

Although I can't say I've ever heard any of her songs.

I kinda like everything Lady Gaga does. I mean, she's an okay musician (better than her music, if you know what I mean), and an average singer. But as a commodity she is absolutely brilliant. She's somehow tapped into the zeitgeist and transformed herself into this spectacularly marketable product, while simultaneously remaining true to her vision. Is it disposable pop culture nonsense? Probably. But I find her utterly compelling.

Stream the "Bad Romance" video on YouTube if you haven't seen it. Seriously, she may be this generations Warhol.
