Loving the color on the bass, looks kind of roasted as well!
Yes, it does- not sure if it's the wood or the finish, but it has an aged or roasted look to it. This bass is really everything I'd hoped it'd be, sonically and visually.

If you're selling your Big Al 5… ummm… is it heavy? I only played one and it weighed a TON. So…After receiving this bass (excellent shape from Reverb) I feel like I no longer need my SR5 H Neptune Blue with Roasted Neck and Mahogany Body. Never felt that way before.
This bass (SR S 5HH) is AMAZING! So glad I got the Ebony Fretboard, and glad I bought used on Reverb.
I'm even considering if I still need my Big Al 5 SSS, as the SRS is an insane Chameleon and my best feeling bass with weight/ergonomics/looks. Truly primo and worth every penny.

The one I played was EASILY a 12 pounder!I haven't officially weighed it. Feels like 9-10 lbs.

They are definitely chameleons. Impressive you can play with those tiny baby hands!After receiving this bass (excellent shape from Reverb) I feel like I no longer need my SR5 H Neptune Blue with Roasted Neck and Mahogany Body. Never felt that way before.
