Musicman Big Al Club

wow........been so busy enjoying that I totally forgot to come back over here and get my number.....This is a 5 string PDN.


Got a Gloss Red Tortoise Pickguard on order that should show up after the Holidays......Get rid of that large black thing and add a touch of class (with new pics)!

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
 
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?

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).
