"This is a rare Italian Analog Bass Synthesizer Pedals made by CIBES. This is obviously a very cool piece of musical history! It is generally played with the feet, but it is also easy to play with your hands. It has a very wide range of unusual synth sounds, from ultra-low Sub-Bass that rattles the windows, to high pitched wobbling "space" sounds. These bass synth pedals make incredible sounds. Everything works extremely well. The body is used, as it should be, but is in excellent shape (1 knob has been replaced). Controls include: tune, envelope, cutoff, resonance, release, doubling, footage (octave), waveform, sustain, volume, with a 1/4-inch guitar input."
I had a set of these and they were phat. Taurus phat. Then I tried to do some DIY on them and got frustrated and threw the whole thing out. I shouldn't have...
ReplyDeleteI had a set i got in 2000 off ebay for like 40 bucks. They were indeed phat like a taurus or like the crumar pedals. I could get a nice 303-style sound from them too. When I moved away from Nashua I should have given them to the synth museum guy dave wilson but i instead gave left them outside the door of the dj girl who lived upstairs, along with a sax I didn't have room for either.
ReplyDeleteI don't have the co-ordiantion to play pedals but neither of us should have given these up.
The bassist in a band I was in 10 years ago had one of these. I've been negotiating for the past year to get it from him and he decided to just give it to me for the cost of postage. It's just as full as I remember it in the low end and nice and smooth in the upper register. No presets like the Taurus but very easy to change tones. In a strange twist of fate I'm in the same band again sans bassist and we intend to use it onstage. I hope it works out!
ReplyDeleteI NEED one of these for my band. We are a two piece but need a bass sound to fatted in up but don't want anyone else to play. Is there anything else similar I can get - I need to play bass with my feet. Help!
