Bass Central Big Al Video = Really Good

Love this video; great explanation of features done quickly & clearly; no audio enhancements, just a camera with internal mic and a bass through an amp

Player is a monster; anybody know this guy at Bass Central?

That'd be the incomparable Michael Amico, the manager at BC, and one cool cat in addition to being a great player.

This video was invaluable... I wish there were more. So many people like to talk about gear but hearing gear makes all the difference in the world. I wouldn't have even touched a Big Al before hearing this video, and now it's something I'd consider trying.

That Epifani amp and Bergantino cabinet sounded fantastic too.

I don't know him personally, but have seen him play locally. He is awesome. Nice video! Makes my gas for a Big Al worse yet. Thanks!

I also enjoyed the video. It turned me onto the bass & I've added it to my wishlist. Quite a versatile instrument.

Great video. I love all the tones you can get out of the Big Al, but just can't bring my self to really like the body style. Otherwise it would be a top contender on my list.
