They look so good together!
Try the Sound of the neck and bridge together in active mode with a good boost on the low mids and a little boost an the lows. Perfect modern boutique sound with balls.
You will have to use the EQ a little different than you are used to from the Bongo, but the Al sounds great. Also middle only or all buttons out does pretty well in the bandmix.
You will grow on its sounds, be patient...

All pickups off is middle and bridge pickups in series, one of my fave tones on the Big Al.
Congrats on getting home, thanks for being out there for your country!

I gotta say, I think my favorite Big Al color is the DDII Caramel Apple Delight! Enjoy that beautiful instrument!

This is my first Sterling neck EB and I had my reservations but I had no issues whatsoever. I am still wrapping my head around the electronics. This bass is almost everything a Stingray is not and I am forcing myself not to look for that EBMM sound. So far I am liking Active with middle pup on and Active all pups off (which IIRC gives me parallel settings of certain coils)
Thanks Pete and EBMM for yet another well built bass!
Welcome back to Shore!!
Now.....Congrats on the beautiful DD II. So the official color is called Caramel Apple?? Hmmm never knew that...
Oh yeah, that custom strap is awesome, how much did that run you? Where did you have it made?

Hey thanks for the welcomes everyone. I am finding my sound now. After much experimentation I am liking active mid + bridge for a sharp slap happy sound and active neck + bridge for a phat tone with nice highs.
Rog I got that strap from Double Treble -Quality, Custom Guitar Straps, New Jersey

Hey there Keko. Southeastern Europe (especially Split!) and the Levant are nice but it's good to be back in California
Yeah I still have the fretless Bongo though I am thinking of selling it to fund a Classic SR5.
