BIG ONE ON TOUR

[nottswarwick]

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?

[Mr. Foxen]

Of course everyone wants to play with the bigger cab.

[nottswarwick]

does that mean you want to be on the tour then?

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]

nottswarwick, if you're able to sort one out can I come over and try it too?

[nottswarwick]

yes, no problem

[BigRedX]

Ta!

[mcgraham]

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]

I'd probably want in on this if it happens.

[Adee]

Thats what I'm talking about !

Lets see / hear a BIG ONE

Put me down please, not too far from Nottswarwick either !

Cheers
Ade

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.

[nottswarwick]

good stuff - anyone else?

[mike257]

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]

updated list in post 1

[Uncle Balsamic]

Put me down as Wirral.

[nottswarwick]

will do

Alex - how many do you want on this before a beast is unleashed?

[mcgraham]

Nottswarwick, would it be cool for me to join you and Bigredx to try out the Barefaced?

Mark

[nottswarwick]

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]

I think the results of the Compact road test will need to be in before this play grows legs.

[mike257]

Would it make sense sticking me next to Uncle B, since he's only a short hop over the Mersey from me?

[nottswarwick]

thought so - done

I think I'll be sending a Big One out on tour next week - have caught up with demand now on that model so no point stock sitting around when it could be getting heard!

Alex

[nottswarwick]

GREAT NEWS :-)

[mcgraham]

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]

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
