Resemblance to Big Al

[Toyoman]

I thought the resemblance is funny.I know ebmm did not design the big al after this bass.I just thought it was funny and some here might like to see.

I think the design inspiration.... And name came from here:

albert-lee-hh | guitars | instruments

Although that is a really interesting find. Never heard of it before.... And didn't SLM own Ampeg for a while?

When is that from?

I hope this isn't TOO far off topic, but here's the link. Looks like Japanese made.

I have never seen that before, however I have noticed recently that a rather large Canadian/US manufacturer has a three pickup model bass (in the same locations as the Big Al) as well.

The Outlaw MPC basses were introduced in 1978

Heehee, I see a Ric bridge and P and SG pickups. They shoulda dropped a Stingray headstock in there to complete the mishmash.

@syciprider No kidding! @Matt-yes SLM bought Ampeg in the mid 90's until around 2005.

Just heard Sadowsky have a 3 pickup bass coming out/custom build. Sorry, but the Big Al is the coolest 3 x S pickup, with a better bodyshape.

I don't want to go off topic, just giving credit to EBMM for breaking boundaries The Big Al is a cool innovation.

Flip the Outlaw over and Chuck Ward would have the lefty Big Al he's been asking for.
