Machines Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 When these first came out I couldn't stand the body shape, but I have to say it looks pretty decent in this configuration - the sunburst makes it look a bit less pointy. Quote

The build quality is stunning! it has the best neck ive ever played and it can sound like pretty much any bass you want it to I like it so much that im selling the Sadowsky and committing to just the Big Al for a while i want to really get to know the bass and not be distracted by other basses around the house and GAS etc. my gamble paid off Quote
TheGreek Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) [quote name='CHRISDABASS' post='1071784' date='Dec 29 2010, 02:38 PM'][attachment=67344:IMG_0713.jpg] (only a quick iphone pic for now) Nice bass Chris - something different from a standard J/P bass..that's what I like to see.. [b][color="#008000"]i only paid £38 Duty and vat for it too! [/color][/b] Well done for getting one over on the lads at Customs and Excise - they actually took me for £199.13 (that figure is engraved on my brain) when I imported my first Veillette Citron. I think of it as Ransom money!! [b][color="#2E8B57"]You're all welcome to come round and try her out anytime [/color][/b] I'm arranging a coach load for the weekend - hopefully arriving at 3am - this going to be OK? After all you did say "anytime"...[/quote] Edited January 12, 2011 by TheGreek Quote
absolutpepper Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 These seem like the perfect recording basses. Its like a swiss army knife with all the configs you get. My only problem and its the same with the Bongo is the look. If I could justify dropping the cash on one just for studio work I would but sadly I can't. Quote
jimmyb625 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Congratulations! It's not helping my Big Al GAS though! Quote
Musicman20 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Seriously. I was a little sceptical, but once I tested the 4 SSS version, it said 'buy me'. One of the coolest bass innovations in a while. Quote
Prime_BASS Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I have mine coming in Feb. I can't wait. I had to buy one once I tried my friends out. I asked about roasted necks.... Quote
