Here's a couple more pics of the Big Al bass to check out. The second pic is Sterling Ball playing a fancy one with a flame maple top.
I really like the look and have one on order, blue metallic with a rosewood fingerboard. I'm looking forward to hearing the single coils, I had an HS Bongo for awhile and I absolutely loved the neck single coil pickup but it sounded so much better than the bridge pickup that I sold the bass.
That Peavey does look similar around the cutaways. I also think it looks a little bit like G&L's Interceptor bass which is a favorite of mine. I have to give them credit for making a bass that looks different in this era of F*nder copies (not that I don't have some myself).
The Anniversary basses look very nice but I'm not interested. With the minimal forearm contour, the long reach to first position, and the neck diving due to where the upper strap button is located it's just not the right design for me. It's the same problems I have with ASAT basses.
