Hey everyone,
I'm about to get pickups from nico for my vibes and I have been looking at some effect units to buy.
Does anyone have experience with this. I recently did some gigs with a borrowed vibe with pickups and a Roland GP 100 effect unit. That is pretty old and I have been looking aroud and thinking about buying something like the line 6 hd300 or te vox tonelab st.
J.S. Bach Violin Partita No 1. in B Minor BWV 1002: Movement V Sarabande
Filmed outside the UD music dept. buildings. The audio quality is good but low; headphones will be necessary to listen sufficiently. The parenthetical title exists to credit the sonic and visual mixture resulting from the peculiar behavior of a chance motorist.
Please enjoy! Any comments are welcome (but warm welcomes are reserved for constructive comments, of course).
Hey guys,
Is this posted up on the site anywhere? Oh man, it's smokin'!!!!!
Guys,
Did anybody knew Australian vibist Jack Brokensha? I just learned from Sid Edwards (my old Vibe.net Austie friend) that he past away yesterday October 28th...
I made a little search :
- Bio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Brokensha

Here's a classic Jobim tune called O Grande Amor. It's a great Jobim composition which is a lot of fun to play on. There are a lot of nice guide tone lines to bring out in the comping and soloing. There are several fantastic versions which everyone should check out including renditions from Gary (solo), Dave (Friedman) and a duo version from of Dave and David.
I'm getting a ton out of the latest Burton and Friedman videos. You know I always want to be a student, no matter what else I might become. That's the great thing about this site, it's an opportunity to be a student and a teacher. So I've watched and listened as much as possible to those videos and they are changing the way I play.
Just the sounds, when you hear someone play and they get 'their' sound can change you. I don't mean sound of the instrument, I mean note choices, sticking choices, etc.
It's only rare these days that I write anything in this blog, merely because most things that are happening here are just common stuff.
At the moment tho, lots is happening here in the company. We're reorganizing to cope with the huge increased market and specially the demand for the gigVibe model. Reorganizing is in terms of company structure, machinery/workshop structure and simplifying/standardizing the current models, investing in new machines.
I have the final lesson coming of our TOTM. The thing is there have been so many heavy videos going up that I thought I should chill on the TOTM and let all this great stuff through. It's been the Burton Lessons, the Friedman lessons, Ed Saindon performing. This is great stuff, and I've been learning a ton from checking out these cats so I assume you guys are as well.
I have the last lesson the 'Putting it all Together' lesson planned and I'll post it soon.
