I was without my phone for a few days and got back to my emails and saw their mailing list one and thought you would be very very happy ! 

Indeed. You’re welcome to pop over and try it.

After watching the Barefaced interview & explanitory audio for myself' this latest offering from origin  could well be more successful than their previous fender & ampeg recreations?

But the Price is going to be a stumbling block for many

Andertons have them @ an eyewatering £449.00 this morning?

Nah- I think price point will be ok - they have sold  plenty of the other bass rigs - if you can afford it it won’t be a problem, and it’s cheaper than an amp and cab.

They've got 3 years of sales figures to analyse on the other 2 bassrigs so it's clearly working for them. If they are selling all they can produce then there is no need for them to drop the price. Doesn't mean I have the means to just go out and buy one though, but I can't buy a fancy watch either.

 

I'm looking forward to someone doing a good comparison with the Noble DI. The Noble is more than double the price and if there is a non-valve competitor that sounds as good in a mix then Noble sales might suffer. 

 

I wonder whether the 2 previous bassrigs will get a "Cab Off" Mk2 in the near future.

The Noble is a different beast. Not a 6SL7 tube like the B15 and won’t overdrive without something else pushing the front end. A closer comparison would be the SushiBox Grand Slampegg which uses the same tube and tone stack as the B15 (but again won’t overdrive by itself).
