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).

I'm very curious about the result.

I didn't know the Noble wouldn't overdrive by itself. Weird.

I wondered that too. It would make sense I think.

 

As for the £449 price, it's something I'd be willing to pay if I knew it was going to be the answer to what I needed but as with all gear you never know until you've thoroughly tried it, which usually means owning it for a while.

 

It's just a bit too high as I ended up flipping the other BassRigs. As of yet I've never preferred a 'cab-simmed' sound no matter who makes it.

I did particularly like one of the Origin Fifteen demos but it was impossible to determine whether the mojo was a good P bass or not as the pedal was always on.

 

But I do keep coming back to that demo.
