I’m getting in on this a bit late, but count me in for a VB to VB cable if it’s still an option. I’ve yet to convert my friends to the VB lifestyle but this may help 🙂
Oh and Faceball is great! I love the packaging too, glad to be like one of 100 people with it :).It’s harder than the prototype version, or at least that’s what I thought. I’ll show Wraith what’s up when I get home and play a few rounds later though…
-Another drummer here? Nice. My band’s color theme has been red and black for years, so it’s funny that I love all things VB and my guitarist loves the Atari Jaguar, which sort of has the same colors in its design.
-Funny enough, a lady friend already commented on this project and thought it was adorable that I have this obscure system. The lye, pliers and soldering iron in my “Virtual Lab” where I’m repairing glitchy display cables took some ‘splaining though heh…
-Another update, they also make cymbal holders with just that boom arm and a double-ended clamp mechanism at the end. This lets you clamp the arm onto an existing stand without adding another whole tripod. I may try using that for another VB holder you can clip on a lamp or something, especially if you always play in the same location and don’t need a mobile stamd 🙂
-Lastly, I realized that this stand I have may feature an extra long boom arm, so I’ll experiment and see if a shorter one still works ok.
Also- sometimes it can be a little frustrating trying to manipulate all the joints and parts of these tripod stands to get the cymbal or VB where you want. But, once you’re used to it, I’m finding that this stand can pretty much let you play from any chair, standing up, lying in bed, etc. The important thing to remember is having one of the tripod legs directly under the VB unit so it’s less likely to tip over. A simple counter-weight could also fix this problem 🙂
Thanks all…I’ll check those other sources and start planning things out. A six-button controller would be sick, if the difference is the same as between the Jaguar original and Jaguar Pro especially. VB Pro :). I like pic stories of various projects, so I’ll do the same unless something goes horribly wrong.
