Little Yellow Bass Keyboard

Hohner Basset Samples

ByDean Coyle

The story

I bought this synth in poor condition with no way to play it.

So I had to make some mods to make it compatible with standard audio gear, allowing me to record it.

It actually sounds brass like to me. I haven’t changed the tuning it as as recorded, which is really good considering how old this is.

This is one of the worlds first bass synth keyboards.

  • A bit of history preserved.

    This is a cool little instrument. It was nice to find something genuinely interesting and useful. This site is rapidly filling up with uninspiring recordings of pots and pans and kids sampling everyday junk just so they have something to post. Capturing instruments like this is what proper grown up sampling is about. Thank you for sharing.
