hey folks- do any of you own a DEWTRON 'Mister Bassman' bass synth, as used by Mike Rutherford and Chris Squire before the advent of the Moog Taurus?
I've just acquired one via ebay.. for restoration etc.. .

There was a company in Texas that made custom bass pedals during the 70's. I had a set before I bought my Taurus I, but I don't remember the brand name. They were very light weight and only produced a couple of organ-like bass sounds. Does anyone know of this company?

I recall looking for these on the web a while back with not too much information available. I think these we sold as a kit like the old radio Heathkits.

I thought it might be Southwest Technical Products Corp (SWTPC), but after looking through what was available online, I didn't see anything like this. If it was a kit, then there was probably an article in Radio Electronics or Popular Electronics, as was the practice in many cases back then. You're not thinking of PAIA, are you? They were from Oklahoma though, but are still in business, I miss those inexpensive kits, although even $79.95 for a 100 watt amp was a lot of dishes washed at my after school job. A lot....

It wasn't a kit. I ordered them from a local music store. The salesman told me they were made in Texas. It took about three months to get them. Bernie --- In newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com, John Hammaren <hammaren@...> wrote:
