Vintage Korg Synthe-Bass Suitcase Synthesizer


via this auction

"I bought this Korg Synthe-Bass in 1978 and have been the sole owner. I used it to play left-hand bass with a very successfuly nightclub band in the NY-NJ area called the Sheppard Brothers Plus. We even played in front of 10,000 people at the Brendan Byrne Arena at the Meadowlands for our final gig in 1986! The keyboard has been unused ever since, waiting for the right collector. Enjoy this piece of Analog History. If this thing could talk about what it had seen during those wild nights of the disco and new wave eras, a lot of people would be in trouble! Korg's Synthe-Bass (model SB 100) is a small 2-octave monophonic bass synth that had a very fat sound. It has one oscillator, an AD Envelope and a low-pass filter. Small and portable, it came in a brief-case design. Unlike many portable synths of the time, it featured full size keys. Its in great condition with only little scratch on the top of the case above the handle Pic #9."
