Awesome. I believe a lot of knuckleheads will be very happy

This has got to be the start of the Albert Lee model bid for world supremacy!!

 

[Powman]

Hmm, hmm, hmmm. This just might be my third bass...and I haven't even got the second one yet.

I am dying to hear some sound clips of this one.

 

[Grand Wazoo]

Mark my words, this time next year a Big Al 5 will be mine.

I just have to wait and see how the pickup variants will develop and if a piezo option will be possible. I wouldn't mind it as a 5 strings in the 3 single coils version with piezo. We'll just have to wait and see.

However BP, this one you just took out of the oven, looks gorgeous!!

Bravo!

Sign me up! That thing is sweet. The only reason I got rid of my Big Al's was because I am a 5 string player and just can't go back to a 4 banger. When will these things be ready to order? Beaver is gonna be getting a call from me tomorrow. Awesome!

 

[mmbassplayer]

Wow... i bet that is a fat sounding bass with the Mahog body and single H. I may have to get me one of them. JOSH

[boombox]

BP, which pickup?? If its what i think it is.... im in!

 

[MMTODD]

It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine. Just need to know what colors will be available for 2010.

 

[Spanky(Andy)]

Dear God!

BP, do you own a white swivel chair and a cat? I'm sensing evil genius at work

The Big Al5's look so perfectly proportioned... What can I sell? it's only money <sigh>

[oli@bass]

Wow! Just... wow!

 

[keko]

Very nice 5 banger!

Visual look beautiful!

Single H, series/parallel, active passive, 4 band EQ, ...can't miss!

 

[Sonnyonbass]

We've got a winner!

 

[bizmarckie]

Of course this all coincides with tax return season...

 

[Thornton Davis]

This is exactly what i've been waiting for. I'm ordering one as soon as the pricing is released.


BP, I have to ask the obvious questions (forgive me)

1 - Is the bass equipped with a 9 or 18 volt system?

2 - Is the pickup Ceramic, Alnico or Neodynium based?

3 - It appears that the bass is both active and electronics, is that correct?

4 - Is the neck profile the same as the Sterling 5?

5 - Is there a phantom coil pickup mounted under the humbucker?

Thank you !!!

TD

 

[Big Poppa]

guys please try to be patient...we have a show to get ready for and these posts are torture not introductions. I know you are all excioted but entitlement is creeping in

But Thronton to answer your questions.....


1. 18V

2. It is the best pickup we have made to date. It is the H out of the 25th...ceramic magnets would to stingray specs on bongo bobbins

3. Actice passive

4.Same profile as the sterling 5

5. No phantom coil

Any more questions for the CEO? Thanks Thornton

Awesome! This thing should sound killer!
