Noble Amps Preamp

I use the Showman at home, but I have done some comparisons... definitely a 'family' resemblance, but so much and cleaner and full.

Hi guys, I'm considering selling mine. Newer version. Kicks butt. I'm not losing any money on it though, however, you can own it and have it in your possession within days instead of weeks. These babies are sought after!
Hi Dave,
I took that picture at a church where I play about every four to six weeks. Every time I go, I plug with my Noble and leave the Reddi on the bottom unplugged. The Reddi is awesome, but comparing it to the Noble is comparing apples to cantaloupes. You can't tweak the Reddi. The Noble is infinitely flexible. The Reddi isn't mine, but I wouldn't keep it if I had both. And the only reason I'm selling the Noble is to upgrade my instrument.
Well ladies and gents... looks like I'll be joining the ranks of Noble owners. 
I just sent payment to @SamuelSandoval for his #124
Extremely excited about this. I have no doubt it'll pair well with my Carvin DCM1000L, and either my Fearless F210, or fEARful 12/6. Heck, even running direct will be a pleasure now

Sweet! I have #125!
My friend passed me #64 shortly after I sold #124. This one needs to go as well. It has NOS Tubes.
It's in the classifieds, or you can PM me for more info. If you're interested, don't stall. Someone will buy it quick, probably within a few hours.

Awesome Rob. How do you like it? The packaging was amazing wasn't it? Huh. Someone's gotta pat me on the back. Might as well be me haha.

Yep! My actual words were "holy crap this thing is packaged awesome!"
With the about 30 minutes that I got to mess with it, I think I may not need a compressor any more. I can hear what everyone has said happens due to the tubes natural compression.
With my P, and J, it sounds well.... I can't really describe it yet. I'm still in awe!
It's so warm and cushy, for lack of better terminology.
So far I like the volume around 2-3oclock
Bass.. 10-11, Treble... Noon, Cut engaged
I've always had to pull back the tone knob on my bass to cut back on the brittle, harsh highs... Didn't have to with the Noble. The Highs just sang like I always thought they should.
Obviously I'm still getting my feet wet, this is just first thoughts, but I'm thinking it'll only get better.
Also, we're finally in a position to have a band again at church... Can't wait to utilize the DI!!
Happy camper.
~~Robert
James looking good!Oh looky... what's this?

It's on my list, but my cash flow is beyond low. I want one so bad right now.
When you get a chance send or post a clip to hear what your jazz bass sounds like through the Noble.

If I do, it'll have to be a crappie cell recording. And y'all will have to endure my horrible playing
My bad, didn't realize my Fearless/Noble had a stalker... he'll soon be a convert 
Ran my Noble through the power section of a Genzler Magellan amp. Wow, I like the tone better than my Demeter Minnie I've been using. It was warmer and, to my ear, I could hear the the articulation better. Let me state, I'm just a bass player, no fancy chops. I know Genzler users are saying the new amp makes the notes sound bigger, I would have to agree. Also, I like how it sound with my pedal board included. I was never happy using my pedal board with the Demeter. Oh well, just giving my feedback.
