New music man BigAl

What do ya think of the new Big Al very different for music man.I love the way it looks so i bought one the other day.

Went into guitar center yesterday to trade some gear in and they had a 15% off one purchase.So the guy asks me if I was looking to buy somthing. I said no not really, but i do like the big al but its on back order,white withred all jazzed up.

So the kid goes to ask the manager if i can get the discount on a online order in the store.Well the manager is there bass tek and says whats he looking for? the kid says the new music man its white and red (newbe). The manager goes O BIG AL we have one in massachusetts at this store does he like the white one (YES HE DOES). So i pluged in played for a hour or two and took it home.

Yes I was very pleased to beable to play before I bought.Never really get to do that.The only white one in mass very happy about that to.I like the sunburst to but already have a Ibanez 700 with the sunburst.White was a bit more clean looking.For me.

Sounds great on my amp Ashdown solidstate a bit of compression good to go.
Sounds good on my peavy basic combo to.

Before I bought it I pluged in to a small practic amp, amp did no justic for it. so I pluged in to a few more solidstates and 1 tube amp, tube sounded best but was also like 2Gs.

I new once i got it home on my amp I could go and set it up a little bit better, I hate spending time in that store but I pushed my self To try a few amps and setings.Nothing in the store is ever hooked up right. And they dont plug some amps in at all,I was a bit of a pain.
