Played around with it this evening and worked it out! Really easy. I can have the VB99 going into the laptop and use Garageband plus play along with music from iTunes or Youtube jam tracks.. great!!

[quote name='hubrad' timestamp='1453159102' post='2957079'] I have one, although not tried recording with it. Used USB for laptop controller software - brilliant! :-) [/quote] Hi, good to know. However I don't think Roland have released support for OSX El Capitan yet or Windows 10?

Hi guys After using the original Vbass for a number of years I have recently upgraded to the VB99. I've copied across my 'clean' sounds and really enjoying the synths; they're much more 'musical' than the old unit and really usable. Being able to use two together is just great.. I wondered if anyone else here uses one as I have a couple of questions regarding the USB end of things specifically recording with the unit. I'll try and upload some samples ASAP!

Which is the most popular shape?

Interesting thanks for that. I only asked because I find the names quite memorable and evocative like you say in contrast to model numbers. I especially like 'Salace' and also the shape of that particular bass.

I don't know if it's been asked already, but where do the names for the different shapes come from? Is there a theme?

Hi Basschatters We're trialling a new idea here on Basschat - posting the occasional 'sponsored' topic. You'll be able to identify them from the tag you can see next to the topic title. This will allow companies who fall between the 'affiliates' forums and a full blown banner advert to send us information about promotions/giveaways, reviews, videos, in depth interviews and pictures/features such as the 'Basschat Visits' section trialled last year (see [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/193223-basschat-visits-warwick/page__view__findpost__p__1885101"]here[/url], [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/187327-basschat-visits-tc-electronic/page__view__findpost__p__1810338"]here[/url] and [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/183039-basschat-visits-rotosound/page__view__findpost__p__1753886"]here[/url]. All topics will be posted by a representative from the company in question and will be open for discussion and comment by all parties. We hope it'll be a nice way of getting major brands engaging with you all and lead to some free gear and giveaways for you. We'll work with the companies to make sure the content is relevant, engaging and useful, so don't worry about spammy marketing posts. There will be one or two cropping up in the appropriate forums over the next month or so, and we look forward to hearing what you think. Cheers ped

We've had no phone line for about a month. BT have been useless. Luckily internet is fibre so it's ok although slower than normal. EVENTUALLY when it's fixed I'll be claiming some money back as I work from home. Funny thing is they keep asking if they can ring. Errm. No phone. No mobile reception at home. I can't see this getting sorted any time soon.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1451589820' post='2941762'] We're so addicted to the internet... you don't need to blow people up or murder them with guns - a determined DoS attack that made the internet unusable for more than about a week or so would see millions of people commit suicide rather than go without their online fix.

Hi guys Reasons for and updates on the outage can be found here http://status.linode.com/ Expect things will be fixed soon!!! Cheers ped

Sorted that for you Cheers

[quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1450777297' post='2935671'] I'm going to get one of those little monkeys to sit on the head stock & do the tuning for me , I better get it some ear defenders & i suppose I better get Jon Shuker to adjust the balance of the bass . [/quote] Yep, though even the animals need a reference pitch to work with

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1450734966' post='2935417'] Ped - how do you see that? I've just tried looking at the back of the headstock on a couple of my basses when they are on the strap and it's impossible without holding them at a very weird angle... [/quote] Easy - perhaps it's because the headstock is raked back a little bit but I can just lean the bass forward a bit and see it clearly - oh and as a teacher I have eyes in the back of my head, too ;p TBH the bass rarely needs tuning but it's good to know it's there.

[quote name='Musashimonkey' timestamp='1450733346' post='2935402'] Never mind the tuner... Who are those little guys on the pegs?...! [/quote] Those are my 'Tuner Friends' - they are employed to maintain my required tunings.

I use a TC Polytune clip from which I removed the clip and attached to the back of my headstock. Works a treat! I like having gadgets built into my bass [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/pedullaman/media/IMG_9024_zpslo42q0pj.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/pedullaman/IMG_9024_zpslo42q0pj.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Hi guys, support has arrived - have you tried turning it off and on again?

They're probably only going to be interested if they can stock it - which begs the question, will it be sold to distributors or will it be direct sale only?

[quote name='lapolpora' timestamp='1450110023' post='2929672'] Soon. Incoming... [/quote]

I was just looking for this thread for pics of my fretless and wondered if anyone else out there has a Vigier to show us?

Hi guys The site will be down at about 9:00 PM on the 16th December. A two-hour window is allocated but normally it'll only be for 5 minutes or so. Try to make sure you have any details you might need for buying/selling ahead of time. Cheers ped

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1449690714' post='2926060'] I really think there are other things in life other than bass guitar where you would excel and be a better match for. [/quote] Well that's probably true for 99% of us!

Blue - please avoid making personal comments. Nobody HAS to like McCartney, so chill out.
