Synth for synthbass.

[BiiigM]

Hi.

I'm new here. I'm a bassplayer and need the help of you synth guys

I'm looking for a synth that is only gonna be used for synthbass duties. I will be using it live so it needs to be relative easy to setup and use.

The style of music and sounds are stuff like Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Cameo etc. No trance and techno stuff at all.

I guess a Little Phatty would be the right choice, since most of this style is probably done on Moogs right? But I'm not shure that I wanna spend that much since I'm only just getting into this keybass stuff But it probably needs to sound pretty analog.

Anyway the stuff i looked at in order of price is:

Alesis Micron. ( I know editing might be a bitch but I guess i wouldn't do much on gigs anyway. Is the placement of the bender a problem?)

Mopho Keyboard. (not out yet but almost. Does it have octaves enough. It's from F to C to octaves + a 5th above)

Creamware Minimax ASB + midikeys (maybe not as practical)

Little Phatty (obvious, but getting out of my pricerange a bit)

Studio Elecetronics se-1x (Definately out of my range, but a guy can dream can't he )

So the first 3 is probably my own best bets 'cause of price, but you guys probably knows much better.

Thx

Out of your price range, but a bassists dream synth if you fancy using your feet and not your hands is the Moog Taurus 3. I have one on order and this allows you to play bass at the same time.

Another feet option would be the Sonic|Core Minimax ASB (Creamware don't exist anymore) plus a MIDI foor controller like the Roland PK-5. The good thing about the Minimax is that you could use any controller you fancied.

Hi.

Yeah the taurus would be way out of my league pricewise And I dont think I would be able to use my feet. But thanks for the tip

Anyone else?
