LALady Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I'm totally new here and probably not of much interest to this crowd. My husband is the bass player in the family -- I'm just a fan. That said, I am looking for a particular bass for him, since he calls it "the one that got away". Bass in question is limited edition Music Man SSS four-string Big Al Dargie Delight (metallic green). Ebony fretboard. I feel like I'm looking for a snow leopard in New York City, but I want to try. Apologies if this is an inappropriate post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Hiya, the dargie delight stuff was limited edition gear and the big al wasn’t produced as much as the other models...so yeah, needle/haystack situation. it might be worth contacting Beaver Felton at Bass Central in the US who might have an idea where to find a used one (one of his regulars may want to shift one on?) best of luck.

LALady Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Thank you so much! I will reach out to Beaver! I truly appreciate the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I’m sure he had a deeper association with the dargie delight models - I might be wrong. he always seemed to have huge numbers in stock for a small run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Welcome! And of course we're interested. I bet a lot of people on here wish they had someone trying to find a favourite bass for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dem Jolie-blues Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Hello to you, good luck with your quest, I'm off to Google that of which you speak, (clueless as to that bass guitar ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh3184 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) So you know, I believe all the Big Al's are SSS and it's a rare enough name that you likely get more hits in searches by just looking for "Big Al Dargie Delight" e.g.: this search Edited December 24, 2018 by josh3184 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
