I got an email from a good friend of mine, containing sheetmusic and an MP3.

He's following Bass guitar (1th year) in the town's musicschool. And this was 1 of the excercises he needs to do.

He asked me if I can do something with it on the vibes, so we can perhaps play together.
I got immediatly excited. Up to now, I always played alone.

I'm really looking forward to it.

Greetings,
Stefan.

Hey all,

Here's a nice photo of my studio, where you can see my GigVibe and the beautiful light !

Hi Everyone,
I have a 1970 M-55 and replaced the original motor some years ago with a newer smaller Musser model. It has been flawless until lately the motor pauses at slower speeds. At first I thought the paddles needed oil, but traced it to the actual motor having little pauses (almost a little stop start motion) at slower speeds. Does this mean the motor is on its way out or just needs adjustment? Any advice or insight on this?
Thanks
Rusty

Hi all,

I just wanted to share a very nice evening I had with some vibes buddies, thanks to the internet. I was on FB, and NicoFarr was about to start a Jam Session with some friends in Leipzig. He put his Iphone cam on and we connected on Skype.

At the same time Patrice Guillon in Bordeaux 'called' me for a nice chat... about vibes, the site, his progresses on the instrument, his worries and hopes, the future workshops, etc...

Here is my second version of Nature Boy. In Bm this time... and with a little solo! Oh man! Scary!!
I think the key is tiny bit high for my voice, but the previous one was too low, and I also had to find one that was not too hard on vibes... Oh well. If you listen to the background, it's not my pedal crying... but the birds singing in the garden behind me. Enjoy.

Hey I have been working with a really excellent set up this past month and i thought i'd share it with you. I play a lot of Acoustic Bass and I have been using my bass rig to amp the vibes. It ain't cheap but it is really superior for gigs with no FOH or PA set up.

TONIGHT at The 55 Bar.... Thana Alexa & myself will lead a great band with Alex Brown on keys, Petros Klampanis on bass and Pablo Bencid on drums!
We play from 6-9pm.
The 55 Bar is located at 55 Christopher Street between 7th Avenue South and Waverly Place.
