ryancowell25 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) This is just a feeler but i'm considering moving on my VB 99 and all the paraphernalia that i've collected to use it. Its another brilliant thing i've invested it that again sat in a box when I was gigging this weekend as I was to worried it might get stolen or kicked over. I bought his last year and was using it through a Mark bass 1200, brilliant system and wonderfully diverse. However since I picked a GB streamliner 900 my approach to bass has completely changed. Pairing it with a barefaced compact and midget plus a a Markbass Compressore has made everything else I own redundant. Therefore I have a VB99 gig bag, Stand (PDs-10), FC300 floor switch and [b]3 sets[/b] of GK3B pickups All connectors leads and power supply that I would be willing to trade/sell as a job lot, all in excellent condition. Its a hell of a system and fairly expensive (have a google). Heres some helpful links [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fR4irecPRrA[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjC6ErK2uPk[/media] I'm looking for any trade offer regarding basses ( anything high end, no Fender as we have fallen out again, i'm always a sucker for anything graphite) . I'm really on the hunt for Barefaced super 12 at the moment to compliment my other two cabs and would certainly consider a trade with cash. But hit me with anything. Please PM with any questions about sounds and user friendliness. I can even email you some examples of synth tracks i've recorded.

ryancowell25 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 Good point. It cost a fair bit so i'll look into it and make a decision - thats why i'd put in as a trade.

adledman Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 i had a vb99 same as this and they need to be heard to be believed. the emulation of all the classic basses is astonishingly accurate. its like having 10 plus different basses in one and then there is the synth side of things! awesome bit of kit and regret selling mine but was skint. i will get another one when i can afford it. type bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Yeah I have the previous version, the Vbass and it's fantastic. Unfortunately as my bass has the GK kit installed internally I don't need the extra pickups and so forth. I would be interested to hear how much you would take for the unit only, if it comes to that.

ryancowell25 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 PM me with an offer and we might be able to work something out. I know moneys tight for everyone at the moment - that's why i'm looking at trade value really. Try me on anything, bass, effects, amps, cabs, Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ficelles Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I know yours has plenty of extra bits but you do realise a brand spanking new and fully-warrantied VB99 + GK3 can be bought from a shop for £869? I feel for your need not to drop much on your original outlay, but... ficelles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryancowell25 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 I'm well aware of the VB99 being £869 new that doesn't come with a pickup though, unless you can post a link and prove me wrong my apologies I'm offering[b] three[/b] working GK3B's as part of the deal Plus the [b]roland floor board [/b]which is £300 new and the stand which is [b]£80[/b] new and the bag which to be honest is stupidly expensive new for a bag . All in superb condition. Its not an outrageous price, total it up on Thomaan or Gak or DV27 and see what you get, you'll be unpleasantly surprised at the outcome. So PM me if you don't like the price and we can have a chat. Or offer a trade. I'm always open, check my feedback and if you don't like what i'm offering just give me a shout. I realise I probably started a little high on this price wise (it cost me a lot to put it together) but £900 all in is not completely crazy and as I have stated i'm well up for trades.

Taa Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 very tempted! I think the price is so fair with all of the other tools, If this one stays here like after the new year, I will buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddys nose Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Great price for a lovely bit of kit and Ryan really looks after his stuff. I wish I had £900. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryancowell25 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Thanks gentlemen, much appreciated I'm not desperate for a sale but have recently picked up a cab and pre-amp that i'd like to offset against the VB99 set, i'm a big fan of one in one out due to a partner who finds the acquisition of bass equipment frustrating. I'm quite happy to put on hold to the new year if anyone has an offer or trade, just PM and we can go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ficelles Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Well I seem to have had a bit of a senior moment there as I thought I'd seen the GK-3B included that price but I can't find it now, so the new price for a VB-99 plus a GK-3B is £869 + £119 i.e. £988. And like you say yours has loads of extra stuff including the floor controller which is £300 [i]new[/i]. Anyway looks like you have a buyer so all good ficelles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryancowell25 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thanks ficelles However I still haven't had a firm offer yet though. I'm willing to put this on hold until January if anyone wants to PM me. Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggydolphinboy Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 hi Ryan , i think i done a trade with you with my ostinato jazz, id love this but really dont think id use it , i have a 5 string custom jazz bass i could trade ( its a copy of an elrick jazz bass) but not sure about the sounds etc. are there a lot u can use? kindest reagards ziggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taa Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I really need one of those things, to record my own project and use it on stage as well, so I won't be able to get this before mid-January. Good luck with selling this but If you can't, don't be upset, just wait a bit Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryancowell25 Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hi Ziggy Yes we did a trade for the Ostinato - it's still my favourite Jazz bass Sound-wise there is everything you can think of from synths to upright and acoustic basses. You can literally dial in whatever you need and it has a massive selection of amp sims and compressors as well as loads of delays, distortions etc. Have a look at the manual on the Roland site and you'll get an idea of how much is in there. Surprisingly I've used it at a number of acoustic shows as an upright emulator and have been approached by a number of people asking how I got such a nice acoustic tone out of an electric bass. PM and i can send you one of the live recordings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 If you find my last posts in the 'Vigier Porn' thread I have put up some samples of the older version of this unit. I really like the way you can make the synth patch dig in after a certain threshold on the new version, so you could play clean but morph into a synth when you pop the string, for example. Really amazing bit of kit - I'm amazed more players don't use them. I guess you have to be quite into fiddling around though and lots of people like to keep it simple. Having said that, once set up, it becomes a really simple plug'n'play unit that does EVERYTHING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
