A little help needed

Hi,

I was wondering if any anyone out there could help me figure out the 3/4 bass I have? I purchased "Big Al" about four years ago and had it professionally set up by Tony Thompson (Luthier based in Wicklow, Ireland).

Big Al plays like a dream, and has been hired out by Pokey Lafarge & the south city three to name but a few, anyone who has played him, can't praise the sound or the tone out of him enough... so at least that's positive.

There are no markings/ labels on the bass, although the adjustable bridge (which I don't think is original) bears the marking BTS patented, so not sure if that helps...

Here are a few pics, maybe someone can tell me what "Big Al" is?

Thanks

Andrew

The chaps on TalkBass.com seem to do a good job of at least guessing,
whatever about correct recognising .. give a shout out there perhaps!

Also - if you happen to be out Galway direction, Tom Barrett is a fantastic
source of all things DB and a mine of information - might be able to assist
you also.
