Hey Stephen, bass looks great, man the figured neck back is sick. I'm pretty sure you're going to dig the Red Tort guard, did
you go with Terrapin? Merry Christmas, Rick

Hey Rick,
Yes, I talked with Mary at Terrapin and sent them my black PG.
I just like being able to actually speak to a real live person so choice #2 really wasn't an option for me.

Stephent28, you're number 25. Welcome!

**Stephent28** · #**704** 01-02-2013, 02:25 PM

Just put some Circle K balanced strings on my Big AL 5.
124-94-70-53-37

Really really liking how these feel and play.
Almost feel like flats and have a slightly less aggressive sound than typical rounds.

So far, I am really liking them!

Been meaning to try those. I will some day.

Holdsg · #**706** 01-23-2013, 03:27 PM

That's crazy!

You're insane!
You're a madman!

Ok...I'll stop.

Holdsg · #**709** 01-23-2013, 11:16 PM

It's always a unique place to play

And the big Al was smokin all night through a Streamliner and AE212.

Habilis · #**710** 01-24-2013, 03:01 PM

So, now I am thinking of getting a "deep gold" pickguard for the Dargie II Big Al. I did a VERY quick and dirty mockup in Photoshop; what do you guys think?

MarkusBass · #**711** 01-24-2013, 03:05 PM

I like it! Pawn Shop Chic!

Holdsg · #**712** 01-24-2013, 04:10 PM

In case anyone is interested, I'm selling by Big Al 5 H.

Moving on? Still going to run the club?

Melvin7822 · #**715** 02-08-2013, 12:50 PM

Still running the club, I had another Big Al on order since last year. I'm just planning to pay off some debt with this one and then eventually get a Reflex 5 HH now that I can get one in tangerine pearl.

Holdsg · #**716** 02-08-2013, 02:53 PM

I HAD two Big Al SSS4's and a Reflex HSS4...
Really sucks I let them go

They were awesome basses.
The stupid things GAS does to us

MarkusBass · #**718** 02-21-2013, 09:08 PM

You can buy mine Dan!

Holdsg · #**719** 02-21-2013, 10:16 PM

its just us crickets in here, Big Al-ouscious crickets, of course.

Habilis · #**720** 02-22-2013, 09:21 AM

I get no sustain joy from my Big Al... I wouldn't say it's dead exactly, but the notes tend to die pretty quickly. esp. on my E string. Any suggestions? The strings are not exactly new but are very well-maintained (I clean it pretty much after every time I touch it).
