Once you post a pic, I'll most certainly give you a number.

Maple for Rosewood

Hey dudes! If there's anyone with a Big Al , that would rather have a vintage burst one, shoot me a PM! Looking for another finish. This finish is beautiful, but not my thang. Here's mine:

yeah I like it better also.
The BA guards are so BIG on that small body...the black one with the black on the burst is overwhelming on the bass....IMO.

I agree about the pick guards being kind of overwhelming. I'm thinking about getting some kind of custom guard made for the DDII I just bought. The plain black just looks so blah on that awesome finish. Has anyone seen any good color combo options?

I wonder how a black pearloid pg would look on a BA DDII??
Might look cool with the changing colors....Should look good with the caramel or green. IMO anyways :P

I'd go Pearl white if I didn't want the black on the DDII, or you can just trade me

Used my Big Al the other night for this video Full Sail made. They got several local bands to do songs from the new Beck songbook. I love this bass.

Ok, I usually do not comment on videos or sound tracks, but this one was fun and sounded great.

Nice work.

That looks great. I've been thinking of changing mine. The contrasting pickguard on black looks so good.

[quote=MarkusBass;13554933]OK...just bought this tort guard! I like better!

Smokin' bass, perfect with both guards, since I got my Sunburst BA5 H I've been thinking of trying to trade my Candy Red BA for another Burst but I need a 5 string, drats.
