Fran's Big Al 5 colour choice poll!!! Vote Vote Vote

[Grand Wazoo]

Ok so... I am in the process of ordering a Big Al 5. The things I am sure so far are as follows:

• it will be an S-S-S model.
• it will have a maple board
• Sadly not available in pastels colours as I would have loved a Mint Green.
• it will have a non matching headstock

Now what colour to get?

Here are my preferences from the available options:

1. Candy Red with white pg / maple board
2. Black with white pg / maple board
3. Blue Pearl with white pg / maple board

Let's see what will get the most votes according to your preferences.
Thanks

No sunburst? Sunburst is hot. Black would be good, though.

I am biased seeing as I just put in an order for one today...
but, Blue Pearl is really nice (given your choices).

 

[Aussie Mark]

How about a tort guard with that black?

 

[Powman]

Yeah...Aussie Marks idea of Black with Tort. Thats my vote.

 

[OldManMusic]

My Candy Red with the white PG and maple neck kills...

 

[laneline]

candy red, hopefully the reflex will be available in it as well.

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

How about a tort guard with that black?

Add a string and we're in business! Wait, I've already done that!

 

[Bean]

Blue with a pearl pg, I say!

 

[ekb16b]

Tort with any colour.
Laneline (i think) had a candy red bongo with tort and that looked amazing.

 

[Nasty_Hitman]

Blue with pearl ! Totaly agree with Bean.
A blue Al will rock the place !!!

 

[DTG]

black with black or tort,would be my choice.if you go black with white would you go with a pearl option

either way enjoy it !!

 

[Duarte]

Candy Red...CLEARLY!

 

[Chuck B]

my vote goes with the majority. man, I am mainstream...

 

[Jimmyb]

Black, with a black pickguard and white pickup covers....

 

[adouglas]

Candy red, but it really ought to have a pearl guard.

My CR Bongo has a cream pearl aftermarket guard (cream pearl is not available from EBMM... it's yellower than Vintage Pearl), and it's extraordinarily classy.

I wish the basses were available in the same colors as the guitars. Trans orange/tort looks really, really nice on the Al body shape. I know this first-hand. I've got pictures, but they're too far OT to post in this thread. If you're interested, click through....

I'm a complete sucker for red...do it!

 

[adouglas]

Just sayin'.

Thanks adouglas, love the pics of your C.A.R. Bongo and that BIGAL you just showed me.

I see that most people share the same preference as my no.1 i.e. C.A.R. plus mape board and white pickguard, though I am not keen on the mother of pearl look whether it's creamed or not. For me I prefer immacualte white.

My $.02... blue w/maple fretboard & abalone pickguard...
