Just got a Big Al 5 SSS used at a nice little local shop, that came upon it from an estate sale. What a great bass, and it was a nice price too! Can't wait to put some miles on this bass! Got a number for me?

Time to get back into electric. Big Al style.

Got one ordered in the groovy neptune/roasted neck/ss frets package.

Should be fun.

Talk some tone while we're waiting!

 

[Tunaman]

If my Al sounds like this I'll be very happy. I prefer the tone of this one with rosewood than Eds review with Maple... although Ed has a review with a rosewood 5 too. Also better to my ears than the maple review

Interested to hear your opinion/experience comparing this to your lb100 Tuna.

 

[coyoteboy]

sorry. it's been tough getting me, the bass, and daylight in the same place and time.

And if you could post them here in this thread that would be awesome...keeping up with your purchases over the past year has been...arduous!

My selling is much more quiet! haha.... Bongo 5HH & Sterling 5HH are staying no matter what. The G&L LB-100 I just got will stay as well but its SUPER aggressive & tight. The Al will actually be the vintage rounder tone! Go figure

 

[Tunaman]

Quick poor lighting pics. It sparkles MUCH better in person... not green metal flake shocking like from G&L but still is really cool. Its on par with the free metallic colors from G&L like my tangerine LB-100

Cool. The action is SUPER low. I think it needs a string change & the rosewood def needs some wonder wipes! Better pics & tone report when I get home

 

[Tunaman]

Actually the back shows it the best due to the white balancing of the pickguard
