Yes... this is the second Big Al I've purchased from him.
A while back I bought his Big Al Dargie Delight 4SSS... but then sold it while under the influence of GAS
Can I get a number?
New to me courtesy of Duke 2004 via TB Classifieds.
That's a beauty.
In September 2011 I owned a white 5SSS with matching headstock, too.
Here's a pic I borrowed from the seller
So far, even when competing with my beloved Precision V and 2002 MIA Standard my BA does things the P-Basses don't.That's a beauty.

The Big Al will be slugging it out with the Precision V in the Young Country band. The 2002 is a stand alone in the classic R & B band.
The Big Al is such a killer bass. I've had mine for 2 years or more now, and I still love playing it. So much so that I want another!
The middle pickup is more P bass than some P basses!

Maple or Rosewood for most versatility?
I'm thinking the maple would brighten up the warmer mahogany & NEO pickups allowing for some more aggressive tones?
For example... an Ash Sterling with ceramic pickups is more versatile with a rosewood board (Helps to tame the aggression), my maple Sterling is PURE aggression, my rosewood sterling was more versatile & got more warmer tones

Looks like I'm going to join up here... I RARELY play 4 stringers & I wanted only 1 that could cover a ton of ground.
I had one Big Al SSS that had some issues & didn't compare to my Sterling 4 at the time so I returned it. Review to follow (Dont expect it to beat the mighty Sterling though) ha ha

One of the best sounding basses I've ever had
