Fran's Big Al 5 colour choice poll!!! Vote Vote Vote

[DirtyHippie]

GW, I agree that mint is the coolest for the Big Al. Do what I did...Offer to kill for it.

I'm glad I got mine before their colors were gone!

I would KILL for a Seafoam SR5!

get your gun ready

I'm sure it was a fluke, but who knows...

Don't really care for the CAR or the blue So for me black with tort guard...Hands down.

I see that most people share the same preference as my no.1 i.e. C.A.R. plus mape board and white pickguard,

Actually, I'm not a fan of maple boards (they show dirt so easily) but you didn't give us a chance to vote for rosewood.....

Candy Red with a Black PG would also look nice...

True. Very classy.

I've got a black PG for that CR Bongo, but the minute I saw photos from our first gig I swapped it for the cream pearl one to make the bass "pop" visually.

Dark-colored instruments disappear on stage, and EBMMs are too good-looking to hide (unless you're into the whole "none more black" stealth thing, that is).

So for me it's always going to be contrasting pickguards and finishes.

candy red does it for the big al!
just go look at oldmanmusic's bass...

[metalarch]

[jlepre]

Tort her to go crazy...

Candy is a classy colour for the Big AL suites it well, but personally i voted for the blue.

That's because I had already discounted rosewood, I am a maple man. I only get rosewood when I have no choice as it happened for the Bongo and the 25th which was a one off offer I couldn't refuse. But now that I have a choice same as I did when all those years ago (10+) i orderd my stingray5 I will go for maple and be happy with it.

Oh and.... I would have also killed for a seafoam green but if that would mean sleeping with the Boss, hahaha, he can "fugget about it! I'd much rather have one in "banana yellow with purple polka dots" instead! HAHAHAHAHA

Blue Pearl is really nice and looks so different under various lighting conditions. Although I love Candy Apple Red, but I don't find that it suits the Big Al (looks great on a Bongo though).

 

[Grand Wazoo]

This is what a 4 strings in Pearl Blue with maple and white p/g looks like, just add a string and hubba hubba hubba! Yum

I'm actually quite glad that I am getting my Big Al 5 single H in Candy Red.

Candy Red really suits the Big Al.

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

Most of the time, Blue Pearl looks darker than that though. Under bright lighting (or flash) it looks bluer, but it can sometimes look almost black. And it has some light sparkle to it when you look at it up close.

 

[syciprider]

Woohoo! Another SOMB Syndrome poll!

I vote blue since you do not have a blue bass yet.

Yes, but they don't count.
