Big Al Bass

[shuston]

So is it okay to begin talking about these since the 25th's are out? Does anyone have a Big Al yet? How do they play? What's the latest?
Is anyone as stoked as I am to get their hands on one of these or is it just me?

Rob,

Were ya born in the South? Cuz you sure don’t live there now…. I’m in da South and I’m patently waiting on my Big AL. Less than 2 weeks is what I’m told!

I know Silverburst's has already shipped to DuBaldo...the rest hopefully will be follow soon. After last nights gig I really want a 4 string right now. This should be just what the doctor ordered.

Yeah man, I was born in Birmingham, AL. Lived there until I moved to San Diego for a j-o-b in '99, at age 29.

They play great.. much like a sterling.

I've forgotten this so someone please refresh my memory, is the Big Al equipped with 9 or 18 volt electronics?

Ok, my seniors moment has passed and it's all coming back to me now. The electronics in it are 18 volts If I recall correctly.

Yep, when I went back to GC yesterday I saw the double black box on the back and was confused for a second until I remembered. I also dig the fact that the electronics are top loaded, so there is no cavity access on the back.

Are the electronics the same as the 25th?
