Does anyone know of any shop or anyone selling a roland vbass in england?
I have tried ringing round all the big music tech shops tried ebay,

not a thing,
I am looking to buy one as I had a go on a friends and thought it was exactly what I wanted. Something that actually tracks well

unlike most bass synths!

Anyone seen one anywhere for sale?
cheers

of course if anyone has heard that roland are going to implement the vbass models in the vg99 I would buy that.
but I haven't heard anything to suggest that.

They used to have one in Sound Control in Birmingham. That was 12 months back though. Don't know whether it is still there.

tried them no joy.

Its been discontinued, as well.

I don't understand why roland didn't put the bass models in the vg99, as we haven't seen a new v-bass.
Anyone know if anythings coming soon from roland to fill the gap?

If the old V-Bass is really discontinued, then Roland must be about to release the V-Bass version of the VG-99. It makes sense to me. But I haven't heard anything directly from Roland about it, yet.

When the VB-99 does arrive, you can buy my old V-Bass.

It would be great if they were about to release a vb-99 but I doubt it.

Hey Foge,

I am not really using my V bass much these days. It's yours for £400 inc GK2b (the new model).

The unit is in fine condition. I am based in Bristol.

Email me gazgoldstar@hotmail.com if you are interested.

Cheers!
