A staple in studios and live setups for over a decade, the Bass Station II delivers deep sound design capabilities, raw character, and unbeatable value.

This limited-edition Bass Station II features Swifty's signature typography, custom-printed panels, and graphic motifs inspired by rave flyers, dubplate culture, and DIY zines bringing underground attitude to a synth that has been a driving force in electronic music for over a decade. Complimenting Swifty's unique remix of the Bass Station II's visual identity, we are delighted to present new patches* from a diverse selection of Bass Station II power users; Legowelt's endless electronic curiosity, Pecq's kaleidoscopic alt-pop sounds and Maria Chiara Agirio's breathtaking, "crazy good" modern jazz fusion.
