Big al buttons

[spencer]

I went down To the perfect bass today to play a big al I want one and found the lable to be very helpful except with the push in buttons.. I did a google search with no answers.. If each button is pickup selector or on/off then with all the buttons in or out thebass should make no noise so this can't be right.. I tried the metal to pickup pole trick to see which ones were on but could not get a sound out of any of them.. Different magnets? Anyways what do they do? I'm getting one but would love to know what I'm doing when test driving it..

The only guy I saw at the time was the guitarist he usually helps me out and knows way more about than your average guitarist yet even I wasn't sure.. We both knew it was picup selector but I didn't understand how it would work with all buttons pushed in or out but now that I see the chart it is very clear just as I thought except none pushed in is 1&2 coils..

I went in to try out an aguilar amp they had and compare it to my little mark which mysteriously kept cutting out. I thinknits had to do with wiring in building, it has only happened once at my house. I have yet to confirm it still works at my own house and it was the first time I ever used speakpn connection with it.. Anyways I didn't get to fool around with it much but for the seconds my little mark worked I prefered it's tone, but I like my amps to work too.. Which the little mark didn't..

Anyways I saw their big al and instantly wanted to play it I can't right a fair review as I was confused half the time. The tone to me was very bongoish which to me is a little smoother than a stingray or sterling..

Anyways thanks Brant for the offer! I'm semi local, it's about 30 miles from my house and I plan on stopping back to check it out with my new understanding. Slight chance tomorrow large chance this weekend..
