I posted some pics below. I know the looks are "different" but I don't think it looks that crazy when its strapped on in a gig setting, then again, I've never been that sensitive to these types of things.

Loving the Big Al, I am almost exclusively playing it in passive mode. The only time I am flipping it to active is when soloing the bridge pickup so I can dial in a little extra bass. In a 45 minute set I am using 5 different pickup settings although the majority is either the middle pickup solo'd (awesome P tone) or the bridge and middle in series. I'm not going to say the bass is perfect (no bass is) but there isn't really one thing that I could say, "well, I wish X was different."
