Finally! Big Al 5 Demo online

[EdFriedland]

I know this bass is "last year's news" but it still kicks ass. I had to wait on releasing this until Bass Gear issue #5 was close to being ready. They tell me it's coming finally, so here's the demo. I forgot how cool this bass is, now I want one again....

Alright, took the thing down because someone pointed out my my pickup configuration headers didn't match what I was using. I thought I could fix it with annotations... screw it. I'll go back to the file, fix it so it's right. Can't be a hack, I'll get it right this time.

awesome Ed, hope to see the Reflex 5 too. ;-)

Awesome review!
You know, Ed, your review of the SR Classic made me crave for one - so will you please stop doing those reviews of EBMM basses! After getting the Classic my budget (and my government!) won't allow any more basses at the moment...

BTW: what's the name of that song you play at the end? I only know it as the Benny Hill Show-melody.

Ed, that's really awesome BA 5 SSS demo!

This bass gives really the whole new dimension in electric bass world!

Now, when I have in order new reflex 5 HH, I seriously must sleep over and consider one BA 5 SSS, a few pickup combinations are really stunning and it could be very usefull for my live giggin' usage?

Damn, how good it sounds!

Unfortunately my budget is empty now, only way to get one of this killer basses is to sell my Sterling 5 HS, but that's very hard to decide!

i believe the song is called, Yakety Sax.

Ed GREAT review as always. This is a bass that I might have to pickup someday. FYI the video went out of sync about halfway through.

 

[adouglas]

Wow.

 

[Big Poppa]

Ed Thanks again!

 

[Powman]

An awesome bass in the hands of an awesome player. Thanks Ed!

Ed , great demo. I've been using this bass for 6 months and agree that the Big Al can cover just about any live or recording gig.
Loved Yakkity Sax-Benny Hill!

Thanks all. Weird, I noticed the audio going out of synch too. I went back and checked the original file and it's fine. WTF?

I see (an hear this) this alot on streamed youtube videos. It is probably the audio codec. Check out this link Audio out of sync : Solve a Problem - YouTube Help

You should be able to convert the video to use a different audio codec.

Thanks for that. I do use AAC for audio, and this is the first time I've had an issue with this... hmm. Well, close your eyes I guess!
