My EBS neo115 is now used more than my 212. Amazing sound as a stand alone cab

Also the only production bass that appeals to me and a price that seems to good to be true. i'll report back soon!

Speaking of which… Electrics are already being started.

It's a gorgeous bit of wood! I really wish I liked basses like this sometimes [/quote] Lol. Thanks. I think! [quote name='umph' post='1007981' date='Oct 31 2010, 10:56 PM']great stuff love thee gibbo style headstock[/quote] Ooooh yes. One of my fav features. Between that and the fishtail I was sold on the design.

Cheers for you replies guys… I have done some looking around other sites and most views concerning the V-Bass floor system seem to mirror what you say. Its an amazing amp modeller and multi-effects, but with drawbacks. However the VB-99 seems to of ruled out a few issues. Obviously the attachment of the pickup etc still exists, but issues like mismatched volume has gone as you can set it to default to your clean line volume no matter what patches you use, unless you specifically programme specific patches to boost or cut (for solo purposes). By the sounds of it, as a Synth it is also the best one about with the exception of buying a keyboard synth. The VB-99 has the added benefit of having the hand-wavy control, the ribbon controller and 2 expression pedals, all of which can be programmed to effect different parts of each patch, which means there is more real time control of the sound than you know what to do with. I think what I've heard here and elsewhere over the past 24 hours has written the V-Bass floor system off for me. I shall be investigating the horrifically priced VB-99 though still.

Well I've had a good look at the pick up, and from what I can see it will happily attach with double sided tape (aka Bernie Goodfellow Scratch Plate Magic). I also beleive (correct me if i'm wrong) that the control block (that the pickup connects to) just clamps to a bass anyway (by use of the end pin, or a range of other methods to suit the basses layout) and does not require and screwing on… Shep

[quote name='PURPOLARIS' post='1007016' date='Oct 31 2010, 09:16 AM']Is that the one that makes a High Hat sound ? I've heard they're quite realistic [/quote] Ha! Yeah, You'd be surprised the use I get out of that. Its attached to a prosthetic shop dummy arm and when I hot the pedal the outstretched finger on the arm, pressed a low A on my synth so I can play bass and have a deep droning sound in the background. OK. That was a lie but the ideas cool! :-) Yeah, GAS is a swine. Actually I wouldn't change anything for other stomp boxes. But the board weighs a tone and is huge, The fact I could have (almost) all of it (some slightly more versatile even), in a tiny package, with the added benefit of midi sync to every effect is very appealing. I've dropped ped a message (think he has the V-Bass floor system, rather than the VB-99).

[quote name='Clarky' post='1007049' date='Oct 31 2010, 10:02 AM']Hey Loz that's a bummer. But don't sell your pride and joys due to one bad shipping experience! All the best, Clarky[/quote] …Unless it means we get to pick up some tasty instruments

Pre-wax oiling ...

I think you never know. When Ibanez released the Afirma as a limited edition it wasn't high priced, but unlike there other limited editions it now fetches more than it cost. Maybe because it was unusual. Ibanez's prestige stuff, made of luxury woods etc devalue quick… You never know. I think something mid-priced, and a little out of character, the kind of thing that might not take off and then disappear soon is a better bet! Thats one reason I just bought an Ibanez SR2010ASC Ashula. Unusual and a mid-priced limited edition.

Hi guys, seriously thinking about moving from my Synth setup in stomp boxes and getting either the Roland V-Bass, Or the full VB-99 (plus extra floor controller when I can afford it). From the experience I've had with the V-Bass stuff it seems to do absolutely everything I use and all the sounds seem to be real good quality. I consider the synth tones on par with my MarkBass Super Synth (which I consider to be fantastic) and most other stuff sounds good as well. I have not had much experience with the Delay part of the V-Bass system, but I currently use a Boss DD-20 and will assume it has much the same capability. Only thing I'm not sure it would do is cover the job of my Boss SL-20 Slicer (Arpegiator)? This is what I'd be dropping… Any thoughts or opinions on my moment of madness?

Frigging Awesome. Thats the bassist from Miloopa. Love their album 'Unicode'. he and the drummer from Miloopa did a session at Bassday a few years back if I recall. He has some great ideas… but a pedal board even bigger than John Davis!

Nottingham Drum & Guitar centre still have a Hartke Transient Attack 2x10 Combo with Ali cones. One of the ok discontinued ones, but they've had it since new hidden in the stock room. Man that combo sounds AWESOME!!!

2 amps (EBS Fafner & EBS HD350) 2 cabs (EBS Neo212 & EBS Neo115) 1 combo (EBS Session 60). I aim to sell the combo and add an EBS Neo112 to the cab collection. Very happy with my amp sound.

Hi guys, I am experiencing the sound of my ring modulator very quietly in the background when it's switched off!? The effect works perfectly. When th pedal is engaged and the strings are muted it's silent, no issues at all. When I disengage the effect and stop playing you can hear the effect very feintly in the background. Whilst not playing, turn the pedal on again and the background noise goes. I'm wondering if I'm getting some kind of bleedthrough of sound? Any one have any idea what could cause this? It's not 'major' issue, the background noise isn't 'loud' but I can hear it and it shouldn't be there Shep

Certainly not something I've come across with mine!

I'd Defo neg him and walk away. Your not going to get the item, he's made that clear. Sucks, but the moneys better spent here on Basschat

Has he refunded your money? Or taken the money and ignored you since? Either way, having message him, I'd follow the report procedure and do it by the book. Get your money back, leave feedback and walk away. Being an arse in the dispute only goes against you.

I've just ordered an SR2010ASC Ashula. Arriving Monday. Can't bloody wait. Having said that I have two build diaries running and of I don't take reciept of one soon I may explode! Anticipation is not my friend!
