"This auction is for a Dewtron Mister Bassman as used by Mike Rutherford in Genesis. I've had this beast for donkeys years and used to use it in solo shows. I've tested it today by changing the 2 x 9volt batteries and all but one of the notes is working. The note not working is the low C sharp. I am not very techy so I haven't fiddled or unscrewed it so there is good chance it can be got going as I suspect it is just the spring mechanism that has ceased and not the synth pot that has broken. Testing this on a bass amp I was reminded of the crazy sounds this beast can make. The octave button really takes the sound down and the tuner function can be used to create great effects by using the sustain function..." Pic of the inside below.
