Hi Craig, very nice indeed. I love the amount of space you allow in your lines. I have been a huge fan of flats on the Stingrays for years, with the 2-band they just sound right. I am looking forward to trying them with a gamechanger.

Just put a set of flats on my 25th. Smooth. Need to try this for a while.
Craig -- any opinions on flats on the Big Al?

I've actually had a set of Group III's for over a month! I can't decide which bass to put them on? I guess I could try the SR5 first, and if I don't like it, switch to the 25th.

Well this afternoon I'm practicing with the 25th with TI flats. For an experiment I tried the flats in active mode, all pickups on, bass boosted on the instrument, and a goodly portion of drive dialed in on the sans amp. Oh my gosh. what a full paint peeling sound. Smooth, low low end, no grain or growl, yet aggressive, pro sound.
Dude, that song made me go into this cool trance. Sweet! Agreed with another poster, I love how you let your bass lines breathe. So many players try to fill every little nook and cranny. They could learn a lot from you.

I recorded several tracks on an album last year with my Big Al wearing flats, and can vouch for how good it sounds.

Can a Big Al with flats sound like this Reflex HH? Great tone from the reflex... hoping the Big Al can hit this tone as well. Saw some clips of a girl recording old stuff sound like Duck Dunn on her Big Al. Don't know what strings she used but these are great tones that previously were NOT available on a musicman. Now its deciding which one to get. Reflex or Big Al?

I'm not a stellar Nashville session bassist who has recorded with Grammy winning artists, but here's some samples from the bed tracks of the session I did last year with my Big Al wearing flats ....

That song has a cool vibe. Kinda reminds of Gary Wright.
Too funny on the TS sig guitar. Poor mans parlor sound.

holy cow... you win the golden ears award. the reason it reminds you of gary wright is because im using the exact analog string machine (arp solina sting machine) that he used on dreamweaver. truly amazing that you picked up on that..nice call broham!
