Specs :
The Hohner "Bass 3" keyboard bass was a type of monophonic analogue synthesizer used as a separate unit in association with other keyboards and synthesizers. As a development of the Hohner Basset, which was one of the earliest solid-state electronic instruments, it featured three preset voice options to add a variety of bass tones. The 'Bass 3' is important as an example of electronic keyboard development where more standard instrument sounds were being replicated through electronic technology. In this case the instrument was sound specific in that it could be used by keyboard players to get sounds covering the range of a bass guitar as well as alternative settings aiming, with varying success, to reproduce sounds of other bass instruments such as the double bass and tuba. Other bass keyboards and bass pedals also gained popularity through the 1960s and 1970s such as Fender's Rhodes piano bass. The 'Bass 3' is also important in providing a point of comparison with other keyboards that used electronic technologies to reproduce a variety of musical instruments. Some of these are reflected in the Museum's collection such as the Mellotron 400 (96/23/1) from the mid 1970s that used tapes of various instruments which were played by pressing keyboard keys. Although also an example of a short compass monophonic synthesizer, the Mini Moog (87/1415) from the early 1970s had much broader applications than the more instrument and capability specific Bass 3. An ARP 'Odyssey' (2004/159/1) from the mid 1970s shows the development from monophonic to duophonic synthesizers.
