that was definitely a good decision. Synths are available and exchangeable in my opinion. You could - with your new lunchbox - even use a Korg Monotron (there‘s a version with 2 VCO‘s by the way) for a deep bass sound.
During the decades I collected a couple of Monosynths, but frankly I couldn’t tell which one would suit best for bass. Probably, as mentioned before, the old trusted (and still functioning despite all the abuse) MS-20 would be my first choice. The Monologue I like for its unique microtuning feature, but I‘m sure one could do nice bass sounds as well. Arturia Microbrute was the first affordable analogue Monosynth ever, and it still provides usable sounds for any purpose. MakeNoise 0-Coast is another nice synth that could well go into bass synth terrain with its waveshape/fold and FM capabilities, features other Monosynths don’t have. I also once owned a Kawai 100f and a Roland 1000, both have been used in multitrack recordings, also for bass sounds. Never felt the need for a Minimoog or an ARP.
I agree on the bass station II and I might get one someday, but I decided to get a microbrute because I wanted something that had no menus or anything, just one knob/ slider per function. I know the microbrute has some background things that can be tweaked by computer, but for the most part it's 1:1 and with no patch saving I'm looking forward to something a little more "old school"
You can’t go wrong with any Arturia product. The build quality, sound, support and functionality is unmatched at this price. You’ll love it.
Ha. I guess it's perspective/personal experience, as ever. Lots of folks feel the opposite about Arturia (and Korg).
Personally, build quality and functionality-for-yer-dollar from both companies has been solid for me. However, seeking support from either is like shouting out the gospel on a NYC subway.
Functionality and price is right with Arturia products, but there are a couple of Microbrute owners with fried audio outputs. Common practice when dealing with any equipment is to connect all cables first. Then check all connections. After that, power on. It appears that with one Arturia product, the Microbrute, one has to follow this procedure precisely, otherwise there is a danger to permanently damage the audio output, depending on the studio environment. The exposed problem is that there runs some current in and out while plugging and unplugging the Microbrute, which can (in rare situations) fry the opamp of the output. Old Monosynths never expose such weakness. They can be plugged and unplugged any time.
Good thing to know when you work with modern analogue synths that don‘t have discreet circuitry. I‘m just elaborating ... discreet circuitry is not only serviceable for a lifetime, it is generally also foolproof. You can do what you want with the synth, it will always work. You may need to exchange some condensers after 20-30 years, which can be done by yourself. However I never ever had one single problem with antique synths. Only with ancient (and not Moog quality) modulars. Modern analogue synths usually use SMD - circuitry printed directly onto the board - to make the manufacturing process cheaper, which explains these very affordable prices. Which is great, I love affordable analogue synths. One just has to follow the procedure by the letter, there may be damage.
Helpful post as my new (used) microbrute should be waiting at home for me.

Not so in my experience. To each their own I guess

Have fun!
Good choice. An example what's possible with a Mircrobrute: https://youtube.com/watch?v=FGRJu2LmbbI
Ultimately decided on a Behringer Model D here...but gotta wait till early October for shipment since new units are in such high demand., so ordered a second open box unit from GC that ships immediately. Now to find or build a multi unit case similar to the 2-3 level Mother 32 case and also decide on a sequencer., probably Arturia BSP, unless I find a better option.
Not sure if I'll stick with 2 synth polychain or eventually get a third .. May just settle on the 808 clone and the 2 "Boog" , since those will max out the BSP anyway. Maybe a TC Helicon Mic Mechanic for decent reverb & echo.
Has anyone here used a Roland system 8?
So after starting this thread, then buying 500 series stuff instead of a synth (wise decision, they made our sessions last week quite a joy), then finally deciding to get a microbrute, then playing with it for a few days and ordering splitters and patch cables, I brought it to our shutterwax sessions to jam with my songwriting partner’s oldest son (16), who is a wizard on his ms-20 mini. He got more out of the microbrute in 5 minutes than I ever will, so it became his.
End of story....
Until this morning, when I placed an order for a behringer model d....
good story broooo
