This keyboard has obviously been VERY well cared-for, and is in GREAT shape.This bass is from the era which was making some of the COOLEST SOUNDS in the world! I cut and pasted some information from the net.Believed to have been manufactured by now defunct Japanese company Gyu Sashi Gyoza, we now know for a fact that this unit was not regularly used by Ray Manzarek of the Doors. I guess that when this was made,Bass wasn’t considered too important because this instrument has the choice of a massive two sounds…..Mellow or Bright –(really only basic tonal filters) As well as the standard Sustain/Percussive attack features and Slow/Fast decay times, the manufacturers in their infinite wisdom chose also to include a vitally important "Fuzz" facility – ideal for that authentic "Electric Prunes" total square wave sound. Two octaves long with very fashionable grey and white keys, this was one keyboard that expired well before it’s use by date.  Please feel free to contact us by email or call:The Captain's thecaptains@telus.net Phone: (604)837-3000We have taken lots of pictures and super sized them to show this item off.On rare occasions, we do make typographical or clerical errors.
