Me too, but not exactly. OG is somewhat green.

Okay, I just saw a pic over on the Events board of a purple sparkle BFR JP.

So:

Purple sparkle Big Al 5 sss, VWP pickguard, rosewood board.

Meet George Jetson.

It would be great if purple sparkle is available!!

Did anyone think about sterling silver? Here is a hint:

If we could only see the front of that bass...

If it's a sterling silver Big Al 5 single H with a rosewood fretboard then I WANT IT. What pickguard? Can you send a pic?

I'll have to order it…so... whatever guard you want! (It has been my experience in previous years that Music Man does not sell instruments out of their booth at the show.)

If the sterling silver Big Al 5 isn't a single H with a rosewood fretboard, I'd still be interested in the original one that Sterling posted which was a Big Al 5 single H (sunburst, white or vintage white pearloid pickguard and rosewood fretboard with non-matching headstock.)

I just saw a pic on the "NAMM 2010 Bass Photos" thread of a Big Al 5 single H in what looks like blue pearl with a white pickguard and a rosewood fretboard. After NAMM do these basses go to dealers for sale? How do I track one? What do I do? SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!

These instruments are usually not for sale. they are demo's for future events or they go to artist. If you want a BIG AL 5 you will have to place an order or wait for one shows up in a retail store.

peace,

I've pretty much resigned myself to placing a special order for a Big Al 5 single H with a rosewood fretboard when the financial planets align themselves up in just the right manner. It will be great to order EXCACTLY what I want.

It's also quite possible that one will show up at TPB that I will want.
