Swede Patch 2000

The Swede Patch 2000 is catalogued here as a hybrid of a bass guitar and a synthesizer, built by a Swedish maker. Instruments of this kind combine a conventional bass with electronics that generate synthesizer sounds, sensing the pitch of the strings and driving a tone generator, so that the player can move between the natural voice of the instrument and synthetic tones. Designs of this type were produced by several makers from the late 1970s onwards, and the record here gives the name and the type of instrument without further detail of its construction, so no specification is claimed.
