I don't believe I've ever seen this particular white model before. It has never been featured on the site before now. The following is some info from the listing:

"Up for sale is my MB33 Mk2, a rack-mountable true analog monophonic bass synthesizer with full MIDI implementation. It was originally developed in Bavaria by MAM (Music & More), but took the name of Terratec when the two companies joined forces in 2003.

The VCO is switchable between saw-tooth and square wave. Unlike on the earlier Mk1 version, there is also a sub-oscillator which can be mixed with either of the other two waveforms for ridiculously fat and punchy bass sounds. Also new on the Mk2 is an 18dB low pass filter (ie just like the TB303 - the Mk1 version's filter was 24dB) and a built-in distortion knob. Needless to say, there are also the usual controls for frequency cut-off, resonance, ENV mod, accent, decay, and autoslide, all of which can be sent/received via MIDI. Another feature, often overlooked for some reason, is a very useful VCF input for filtering external signals.

It really is a fantastic little synth. It can do the squealing growling 303 thing with ease, but the sub-oscillator and VCF input elevate it to another level of possibilities.

I've owned it from new and it's been very well looked after. Cosmetically it's in near-mint condition, and everything works exactly as it should. It comes complete with original box, Terratec PSU, and manual, which is also available online"
