mildmanofrock Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 I've just bought a Big One and love it. I'm in Swindon, so if anyone wants to give it a try, let me know. I'm also playing it at the Moonfest festival on Sunday in Westbury (The Log Off Band) if anyone wants to see it in an open-air festival setting.

guyl Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 I'd love to try a Big One! (Stockport, South Manchester) Thanks
chrisgriffiths Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 I'd like to give this a whirl if at all possible - Rotherham, South Yorkshire Chris Griffiths
nottswarwick Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 Alex, any news on the tour kicking off? Would love to try it at a particularly tricky venue on Sunday....
alexclaber Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Too stressed, you'll have to wait until next week because Fedex don't deliver on Saturday and I don't want to rush it out tomorrow! Alex
nottswarwick Posted September 11, 2009 Author Posted September 11, 2009 INCOMING! Alex has told me that the cab will be with me early next week - Monday if all runs to plan. So, I will post up when it lands, and then we can sort out what happens from then onwards. Cheers Chris
nottswarwick Posted September 14, 2009 Author Posted September 14, 2009 it has arrived. Thansk Alex. Just done a quick AB with my 4*10 front ported Markbass. About the same height and width, btu the Big One is shallower. Gator case sits on it nicely. Alot lighter than my othe rcab - It has nice tilt back wheels too. I was able to wheel it aound with one hand, with my (admittedly light) 4u Gator rack in my other hand. Fired up the LM2, put everything flat, and away we go. Sounds good. Very clear top end, powerful sounding cab. Then straight over to the Markbass. The MB was just as loud (at loud home levels, not necessarily top gigging vols), and initially the MB was weightier in the lows, and more reserved in the highs. The Big One is certainly more hifi, so the little mid/high driver is definitely a goodie. Yep, very nice indeed so far. Will report back more when I have chance to spend a it more time with it. Chris
alexclaber Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) Bear in mind that the woofer still isn't fully broken in. If you can get a fairly high power 20Hz sine wave onto it for a good few hours and the amount of bottom will increase significantly. Once it's settled in you should hear that the lows go deeper than on the Markbass though they may not sound as subjectively fat or thick. Look forward to hearing more!

Uncle Balsamic Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Does the LMII cope with the 6 ohm load well?
nottswarwick Posted September 14, 2009 Author Posted September 14, 2009 yes - it will drive down to 4 ohms so no worries at all.
Uncle Balsamic Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I mean does the limiter kick in at all when pushed at 6 ohms. Some people notice this at 8 ohms, so I was wondering whether it was the same at 6 ohms.
nottswarwick Posted September 14, 2009 Author Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) you would have to be very loud I would think. Certainly louder that n I would notice at home so I would not worry. Edited September 14, 2009 by nottswarwick
nottswarwick Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 ok, had this for a few days now, and can report that all is positive. It is very clear and precise, whilst not being too clinical, if you know what I mean. Very loud, and undistorted. I am not going to be able to try it at a gig though, as all my late sep and oct gigs are on guitar, but I think I have a good handle on it now. Adee is keen to get this ASAP in time for some gigs. He is just south of me, so we are handing over this week sometime. If either of the Nottingham chaps still want to hear it it will be here until tomorrow. C
wateroftyne Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I'm kinda keen to try one of these, but I haven't got time to travel too far to collect it... anyone south of me up for a go?

nottswarwick Posted September 23, 2009 Author Posted September 23, 2009 safely handed over to Adee this afternoon. Great cab, await updates......
Adee Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 I am now in the possetion of a Big One . . fnar fnar, Oooh err missus ! I will be using it twice this weekend in Northampton so anyone local is welcome to check out the Boxeddy website and pop along and hear a Big One in anger ! I will report back in due course. Cheers, Ade
Uncle Balsamic Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 You can take me off this list by the way.
chrisgriffiths Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) I don't have any gigs until november so maybe worth sending it across to Liverpool for that group of people before it comes to me? edit: although if that makes the handovers a pain, then keep it as it is - I have band practice every week so will still get a good opportunity to try it out. Cheers Chris Griffiths Edited September 23, 2009 by chrisgriffiths
Adee Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Right ! Who's next? I live in Corby, Northants . . . so anyone in a 30 mile radius can have free delivery to your door by meeeee!
