Anywhere - you can take your pick of locations on a Big Al

I used Position 4 on my Stingray a lot with the band recently. I bet you can get close to it with the Big Al.

Sure can. Active, neck and middle pickups both on is pretty much the same as position 4 on a HH Stingray.

It should be a good one! Maybe even displace the Bongo(s) as #1.

I have really been thinking about the Big Al 5 SSS lately...

Let's not go overboard.



I had a Big Al 4 for a couple of weeks on loan. It's a very different animal with all those single coil pickups...and I expect to be playing it a lot but "displace"?

Nah.

I can see bringing a Bongo and Big Al to the gig and being very happy.

Whoa - am I becoming SmallEQ?

Classic Color, totally not classic bass i love it.

Congratulations Lord Bongo.

Well?

News-flash: Today's date: February 26, 2010


Well?

 

[Mrs.sitonmybass]

Is it here yet? Huh? Huh? Huh? I realize that you are in the throws of joy and are most likely unable to pry your fingers from the fretboard, but DUDE, you have an entire FORUM of people waiting with bated breath to hear of the new delivery. You can only imagine our dismay to note the due date with no news of the new little one. You know, the entire forum lives vicariously through each others' purchases, don't you? Are you or are you not the esteemed leader of this cult of bass enthusiasts?

Jack I've just seen this thread, nicely done

 

[rizzo9247]

My 'F5' button on the keyboard is now broke...

 

[bovinehost]

Sorry about the crappy photo! It's dark outside.

Oh - yes, it rocks.

 

[bovinehost]

Slowly going through the different positions. Right now, I have just the bridge pickup (active) going with a bit of bass boost. Very burpy and snarly and aggressive. Dang! This is GOOD.

Hangs nice. Erika said, "It looks....old." Poor girl, she's been subverted by all these colorful Bongos. Sunburst basses are something she does not know.

 

[Big Poppa]

shes also preggo by an old geezer

 

[sitonmybass]

Congratulations!

That bass is gorgeous!


Do not, I repeat, do not change that pickguard; it's perfect!

 

[Mrs.sitonmybass]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. Very, Very Nice. That is one b-e-a-utiful bass. You must be one happy man.

 

[Yellofury]
