I'm actually glad I don't play fretless because right now I'd be out knocking over liquor stores and stealing purses from old women.

Just wondering, but...
Should there be a rule about posting DDII photos, showing the Green AND Carmel? As in, you need to show both?
I mean, more is more and well, just showing one color is only half the story...just wondering.

Question to the EB-production team:
How do i set (adjust) the pickups with the Al for best overall performance and maximum bottom in passive mode?

I just don't want to gloat about mine. It is awesome though. Easiest neck i have ever wrapped my hands around. My last few days have been very busy though, Even with my health situation at 430 pm today i am Marrying the love of my Life! I promise to post better pictures of my Al and recordings when things finally settle down. 9 more days of radiation.. then who knows...

Performing with my band Monopilot and my Big Al live at Kleinenbremen, Germany last Friday. (the sound becomes better at 1:20)
What a great location. Reminded me to Winnetou films...

I had my first rehearsal with the Big Al yesterday. It kicked some serious a..! I used this stack:
(please ignore the white thing...)
To me the Big Al has a lot of power, but never tends to sound muddy. It suited perfectly in the bandmix in a way i only knew from a traditional, old fashioned instrument with a "P" before, while it had for "more" sound.
With my other basses i used to run them through a sansamp bddi to get them a big sound. The Big Al is big only by himself and sounded perfectly big and punchy with my peavey pro 500 set all flat.
The Big Al has a personality of its own, which i can just describe as very musically and never harsh. If it was an amplifier i would say it is sounded beautifully.
It also has the nice growl only alder gives to a bass in passive mode with the middle and bridge in series, while it can sound a bit like an alembic f1 within secondes with the neck and bridge parallel in active mode.
Being used to my stingray and those p-things for years, the neck is a little tiny but perfectly fast to play.
I am owning about 12 basses at the moment, of which some may do a certain sound better or different than the Big Al, but none of them has these possibilities with the option of adding the serious power of the bongo preamp.
This is to me the biggest shot of the year. The Big Al will be a new classic.
It made me addicted for more great EBMM-stuff. I already tried to talk my guitarplayer into Musicman, but that will be another story.
