Hi There-

My M48 fiber cases are wedged in a dark corner of a shared basement, and I need to know their dimensions. Can anyone help me out here? (I think their Musser part number is M138)

thanks-

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.

Hi .-)

I got an offer for a set of SF-830 medium hard mallets from 'Silverfox'. I never heard of this manufacturer before... Is anyone here using Silverfox mallets and can shed a light on their quality and sound?

regards, Jens .-)

Hello All,

Has anyone out there used the Bose L1 Compact Portable Line Array System (or the other models in the line) to amplify the vibraphone? I am planning to purchase the AMT VP-2 microphone system and consequently need to move away from my current Peavy keyboard amplifier.

I want the easiest thing to carry into the gig. I work with a singer who brings in her Bose L1 with considerable ease and is ready to go in 5 minutes when the gig is done. I am envious!

Thanks,

Jerry Weir

Hi vibists around the world

Does anybody have made experience with the Mike Balter wide bar series mallets? I've bought 2 pairs of the nr.31. They are quite hard, but have a very nice sound. But I've heard that mallets with short handle and big heavy heads will detune the bars from c5 up to g5. Does anybody play thes Mike Balters number 31, wide bar series?

This is quite interesting and I am sure lots of us have asked ourselves this question many times but have a read and lets hear some comments on this.

Nico at VDP has now released his vibraphone "leslie" style amp. This looks interesting but I already have a good,small amp that I use with a malletkat (and in a few months with a fabulous new VDP gigvibe with pickups).
Does any body have any suggestions about Leslie style stomp boxes that can do a good version of the vibes motor-on sound ?
The Neo Ventilator has come to my attention, though it seems a bit pricey and I have not heard one with vibes. Demos on the web for these sorts of things are predictably by guitarists.
