[quote name='pmaraziti' post='635586' date='Oct 24 2009, 07:31 PM']Thanks Alex! Can the tweeter be adjusted (e.g. different setting) and is it defeatable?[/quote] From Alex's previous post I'd say it's a choice of either on or off, though I beleive the Big OneT has a three way switch - off-lo-hi?

[quote name='thestick' post='635296' date='Oct 24 2009, 02:10 PM']I have a vintage, I dont have a problem with top end it cuts through in fact sometimes at some gigs i have to take a bit off, I think the vintage is perfect as is..... Im lucky to have a wal , a ricky, a jazz ,and a 74 precision, ALL sound great through the vintage, it brings out the sound of the bass that your using, some cabs ive tried tend to make all the basses sound the same, the vintage rocks........ [/quote] Wot 'e said, except the bit about wot basses he owns coz I don't have them

Another big-up for Diamond Dave All my cables are OBBM and I've never souded better. Shame I can't play tho

Am I V3 then Alex? Rob - your rig will be a true monster I like the idea of a cab which is lighter than the (much smaller) head

[quote name='pete.young' post='625553' date='Oct 13 2009, 10:24 PM'] Thanks once again to Merton for the use of his Vintage. I think the black cloth might be a better match. Tough decision![/quote] No prob! It sounded huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge, didn't it! Go on, Vintage with black cloth is on your shopping list now, go on, go on...

[quote name='alexclaber' post='623925' date='Oct 12 2009, 01:20 PM']Stop-Press: CK and I are doing a house-swap for six months. Alex[/quote] Ah, now, erm...

[quote name='Mikey R' post='623219' date='Oct 11 2009, 04:44 PM']EDIT: Forgot the real highlight of the weekend - meeting two thirds of the MertGang(tm), Nic and Theo. Hopefully next time I'll get to meet Sophie as well. Dude, excelent family! [/quote] Cheers buddy! Sorry for the fraught Firday night and for Theo almost vomitting in your shoes

A great day, so thanks to Hamster and Silverfoxnik for doing the organising (I just poked my nose in and "sort of" did the raffle ) Great venue Colin, let's have it next year too Highlight of the day for me was realising quite how utterly in love with my gear I am, despite all the GAS

Wake up Mikey - Theo wants to vom on you! See y'all in a few hours

[quote name='alexclaber' post='621385' date='Oct 9 2009, 10:27 AM']Is anyone coming from the east end of London who has the space/inclination to transport a Barefaced Vintage? Alex[/quote] No but mine is coming there. I suspect you want someone to take one away though.... I can do that too, but not going to East London

[quote name='Paul S' post='621727' date='Oct 9 2009, 03:31 PM']I will need to leave before the draw - if I get a winning ticket how would this work?[/quote] Names will be recorded so we can contact you after the event [quote name='Stingray5' post='621753' date='Oct 9 2009, 03:58 PM']I know you're not exactly short of sets of strings, guys, , but I have a second new set of Trace Elliot acoustic bass strings (40-100) I'm happy to add as per #2 in the list. UPDATED List is: <snip>[/quote] Good work, first post updated

[quote name='Mikey R' post='621447' date='Oct 9 2009, 11:18 AM']Hey Mert, In the confusion of moving house, a lot of my bass related litterature has gone missing, including the book(s?) I wanted to raffle Could you take it off the list?[/quote] Done! See ya tonight, hope train journey is a good 'un

BGM have offered "a few" subscriptions as raffle prizes, very nice of them too! We'll let you know more regarding qty asap (though we're running out of time, haha!). First post updated again.

[quote name='lanark' post='618676' date='Oct 6 2009, 03:38 PM']what would you choose? Either a money's no object, or if you're short on cash and can only afford a single cab, which would be the best use of that one box for all occasions?[/quote] I have it already - Barefaced Vintage. Winners

[quote name='Shockwave' post='618043' date='Oct 5 2009, 10:22 PM']So do we buy tickets here or at the bassbash? Also shouldnt we possibly split the strings into smaller lots? More winners Also if i participated and won my pedal back.... well that would suck![/quote] Yes, buy at the bash unless you're not attending in which case donate to BassChat, PM ped and myself with your details (i.e. how much you contributed and how many tickets that equals!) Strings will be split into lots of 5 or 10 I imagine. You will get to choose after the first 2 drawn tickets - they win the Hartke amp and pedal in that order, after that it's a free choice Updated list on first post....

[quote name='chris_b' post='617076' date='Oct 5 2009, 02:55 AM']What I'd like to try is 2 Compacts with my Thunderfunk. I have heard 1 Compact with my amp and it sounded good and I know Jonthebass rates his 2 Compacts with his LM2. Would any Compact owners like to hear their cabs in a stack?[/quote] The Vintage is 2 Compacts in a stack, conveniently in one box! Mine will be there and be deafening people so you're welcome to try it
