Bass Micro Synthesizer

Analog Microsynth
The Bass Micro Synthesizer has the same feature set as the Micro Synthesizer, but includes a trigger and filter sweep range especially tailored for bass guitar. The same fat analog synth textures give your bass a whole new range of possibilities: from percussive stabs to backwards-sounding bowed sounds.

Posted 12/30/2008
Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" as realized by EHX pal Jack Conte. It should be easy enough to spot the Deluxe Memory Man and Deluxe Electric Mistress, extra points for the Bass Micro Synthesizer.

EHX Strings
We've been playing these strings ever since we first took them home to try them out, back in 2002.

We find them to consistently offer rich harmonics with powerful definition, while also lasting longer and staying in tune longer than conventional strings.

We use them, we like them, and we think you will too. Available in 9's, 10's, 11's.
