SOLD EBMM Big Al 4 SSS

Ernie Ball Music Man Big Al 4 SSS

Please note reduced price!

Bass was purchased in 2010 from Bass Central. I am the second owner. Very clean condition, with only the normal wear markings from 7 or 8 years of light usage. This is a remarkably versatile bass, because you can select the pickups in any combination with either active or passive mode.

I don't see many of these for sale right now. It's a cool bass - great playing and sounding.

Specs:

• Finish: Vintage Sunburst, with shell pickguard and chrome hardware.
• Body: ash
• Neck: Maple with RW fingerboard
• Scale: 34"
• Frets: 22
• Nut: 1.5 inches
• Headstock: sunburst, matching body
• Tuners: Schaller BM - placed in the 3+1 design.
• Bridge: Typical Music Man
• Pickups: 3x Original Music Man USA single coils with Neodymium magnets
• Electronics: 3 x 2-way push button pickup selector, 2-way push button active/passive selector, 4-band EQ – 25kohm volume, treble, high-mid, low-mid, bass.
• Original hard shell case

No trades please, but I will entertain reasonable offers. Price includes shipping in the Continental U.S.

 

Weight: 9 lb 4 oz, according to my postal scale. Balances nicely.

Strings: D'Addario EXP Reds, 0.045 - 0.100

 

I was not the original purchaser. But the bass was purchased from BC in 2010. The bill of sale is in the case.

I had the bass set up when I first got it (about 4 years ago), but have not had to adjust the action since. It's set up with a nice, moderate action - approximately according to factory specs.

 

I'm guessing that these were quite expensive to manufacture, especially if you compare them to the new, passive models.

 

Sold! Thanks, Nick!
