nottswarwick Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Hi It is apparent that the bass playing world and it's collective dog are trying out the Compacts currently doing mileage around this fair isle. So it occurred to me that I might get more "satisfaction" with a Big One. Early indications from Alex are that he [i]might[/i] unleash a Big One on the community if it is worthwhile, particularly if much of the transit can be done "hand to hand" to avoid courier damage to a larger cab. So I thought I would see if we could rally any support for this. The list UPDATED as of 26/8/09 Nottswarwick (Nottingam) BidredX - nottm - at my place to try it McGraham - nottm - at my place to try it ------then south to ..... Adee - Corby ------then north to chrisgriffiths - Rotherham ----then over to (maybe not in this order tho?)...... Mike 257 - Liverpool Uncle Balsamic - Wirrall Pbass67 - Bangor Guyl - Stockport Casapete - Hull - ish Anyone else? Edited August 26, 2009 by nottswarwick
Mr. Foxen Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Of course everyone wants to play with the bigger cab.
nottswarwick Posted August 22, 2009 Author Posted August 22, 2009 does that mean you want to be on the tour then?
Mr. Foxen Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 [quote name='nottswarwick' post='577345' date='Aug 22 2009, 08:08 AM']does that mean you want to be on the tour then?[/quote] Yup, Think Joe might be even more enthusiastic, considering before I'd even managed to plug the Compact in, he'd sent me a rambling text and posted a review about how great it was.
BigRedX Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 nottswarwick, if you're able to sort one out can I come over and try it too?
mcgraham Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 I'd be up for trying it out too! Also based in Nottingham! Let me know when/if you're trying it out. I could bring my Berg IP rig to compare. Mark
Uncle Balsamic Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 I'd probably want in on this if it happens.
Adee Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Thats what I'm talking about ! Lets see / hear a BIG ONE Put me down please, not too far from Nottswarwick either ! Cheers Ade
casapete Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 Having just had the Compact on trial would be very interested to be included on a Big One list too. Not that near Nottingham but would happily travel to collect/pass it on - I'm in East Yorkshire near Hull. Cheers.
mike257 Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 I'd love a crack at one, especially next to my SVT610 to see how they compare. I don't have my own transport to move the thing about, but if one comes to Liverpool I'd love a go
nottswarwick Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 will do Alex - how many do you want on this before a beast is unleashed?
mcgraham Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Nottswarwick, would it be cool for me to join you and Bigredx to try out the Barefaced? Mark
nottswarwick Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 it would be cool, yes. I will be wanting to gig it too, so I will get you along to one to see how it fares - gonna A-B it with my Markbass 4*10.
Mr. Foxen Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 I think the results of the Compact road test will need to be in before this play grows legs.
mike257 Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Would it make sense sticking me next to Uncle B, since he's only a short hop over the Mersey from me?

Alex
mcgraham Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Nottswarwick, sounds great. Drop me a line when you know more I'd love to watch/listen you and your band do a gig. Mark
pbass67 Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 As a happy Compact owner I shouldn't really indulge in any more potential GAS attacks but curiosity has got the better of me again so please count me in too. I'm based in Bangor North Wales so not too far from the Wirral Cheers Paul
