Details:
"This Access Virus B synthesizer is offered to you from the studio of Ade Fenton, co-producer of Gary Numan's critically acclaimed 2006 album 'Jagged'. This fantastic synthesizer was used extensively on Jagged and many of the programmed patches will be instantly recognisable to Numan fans. It was featured in Ade Fenton's kit list in the May 2006 edition of Future Music Magazine's article about the making of Jagged. It is signed on the rear by Gary Numan and Ade Fenton and carries the phrase 'Jagged 2006', written in silver ink by Gary Numan."
