FS: Musicman Big Al 4SSS Alder body

I'm selling my beloved Big Al. This is one of the very first production ones. Its also somewhat rare in that its made of Alder and not a boat anchor. Only 9.5lbs, they switched the builds after the first year to Mahogany in part because a lot of the Big Al's were weighing 10.5lbs plus.

I've moved onto 5 strings, so this is no longer getting played.

This is a Pearl White Big Al, Alder with Maple Board with a no longer available Orange Swirl pickguard. Ships in a spare hardshell case from Musicman's 2008 Limited Edition basses. The bass has one small chip in the finish that you can see in a couple of the pics. Its hard to notice and sometimes I forget it is there. As you can see from the full body pics, its very hard to see unless you are looking at it up close.

Not looking for a trade unless maybe its something Dingwall related. Otherwise $1215 shipped in the US.

Wish I could afford this.. I love the Big Al's. all of them.. Best bass on the market. Good luck. Any interest in a pick guard swap? I have an unpeeled black guard for the crazy orange one?

I'd buy you if I didn't already have a Big Al. Fantastic bass which can be made to sound like just about anything.
