Custom Musicman Big Al bass Single H Humbucker- 2009-Silver Matching Headstock

EBMM discontinued the Big Al unfortunately because these are very cool basses. This bass was gigged regularly by the previous owner so it shows the requisite small battle scars (see pictures). However, it functions normally and sounds great!

The pickguard has the usual scratches and swirls around the pickups and knobs that come from regular use. The tip of the headstock small dents and nicks and there a few small scratches and nicks on the body mainly around the jack plate, I tried to show it all honestly in the photos so please see the pictures. Id rate the bass a 7.5/10.I bought this without a hardcase but included with it is a very nice, new and thick padding gig bag.

For those not familiar with the Big Al, it is an incredibly versatile bass. . These are not that easy to find as they were not made for many years and even during production years not that many were made. The Big Al has a unique electronics package that offers unbeatable tonal flexibility. One button is series/parallel for the pickup. The other button is an active/passive switch. The knobs are: master volume, passive tone pot (passive mode only), stacked lo/hi mid (active only), stacked bass, treble (active only). You're basically getting Bongo electronics, plus the ability to go all passive in both series and parallel modes.
