Up today is the fifth of many, many Roland guitar and bass synth systems of PlethoraTone’s from the 1980s - our amazing mint Roland GR-33B Bass Guitar Synthesizer. Pure analog joy! I've loved these incredible sonic power tools ever since hearing Pat Metheny, Adrian Belew, Robert Fripp, The Police, King Crimson, and the rest of the 24-pin club.

This GR-33B looks brand new, just like when I bought it decades ago! I'm the original owner of GR-33B, serial number 020307, and boy-o-boy, does she look gorgeous. The video shows this actual GR-33B in action in a short iPhone-recorded demo here at PlethoraTone just a few minutes ago. When not in use throughout the decades, the GR-33B has always been safely stored on a studio equipment shelf. Included items with the GR-33B are its original factory box, original printed factory manual, original Roland warranty card, and its original clear plastic overlay protector. No bass or 24-pin cable - just the stunning floor synth. Lots of amazing tones, analog lushness, and tracking fun with this gorgeous GR-33B, just like the well-loved GR-300 we sold the day before yesterday, the GR-100 the day before that, and the rare 24-pin US-2 switcher!

There's absolutely nothing like playing an analog Roland GR!

Part of a lifetime collection of musical tools & toys. I took most of the photos in harsh, bright lights to expose anything that could be captured in picture - the first set of photos show the exact items you will receive - the GR-33B, box, manual, and clear plastic cover. None of the other stuff in the last photo, though ;)

This GR-33B looks and sounds completely flawless to my eyes and ears (it's a museum piece!), but out of a ridiculous overabundance of caution, I will rate our amazingly mint GR-33B as excellent.

Our entire Roland GR collection has sat around basically unused for many years and hasn’t seen any real playing time by the Nashville recording community. The final PlethoraTone GR Family Group Photo is what's now available for new, loving homes:
Roland GR-300 synth
Roland GR-700 synth (two units)
Roland GR-33B bass synth (this listing)
Roland GR-77B bass guitar synth
Roland G-505 guitar
Roland G-707 guitar (two units)
Roland G-77 bass
Roland GK-1 pickup system

We really take care of our gear.

If you want or need more photos, just let me know. I'm new to Reverb but have been in the industry for 40+ years and will gladly provide references. As to shipping, everything gets safely and securely packed and almost always ships by the next business day. I *do my very best* to ship same day whenever humanly possible, because I appreciate getting my purchases quickly, too! Also, I love receiving well-packed gear, so that's how I try to always pack for you! Tracking information will be provided as soon as it’s generated by Reverb's shipping label system. Likewise, we appreciate immediate payments when agreeing to buy our items (unless you’ve made prior arrangements beforehand).

If you’re in the Nashville area, please come by the studio to see the GR-33B in all its glory for yourself.

As with all our electronics, we’re offering this GR-33B as shown, as-is, as described, no returns. It’s just as reliably and accurately described as all the other Roland GR gear I've recently sold on Reverb - plus the Kubicki Ex-Factor bass, vintage pair of Langevin 251a EQs, ‘75 original MXR Phase 90, lots of vintage TC Electronic pedals, Roland PG-300, PG-800, PG-1000, Korg REI, Waldorf Microwave XT, and MicroQ that went to happy, new owners. There are many other new happy owners, too. Scroll through our shop's reviews and feedback for what other people say about PlethoraTone.

This GR-33B is among the first of *hundreds* of unusual synth, guitar, bass, and electronic items our studio will soon be posting. Check out our comprehensive gear list on our website for upcoming hints.

The final photograph gives a clue to some of the other gear to come, and these items aren’t included in this GR-33B listing. There's also a Yamaha TX-816, an incredible Bob Moog designed Crumar Spirit coming, as well as a Roland SH-1000, too. There's also currently listed an insanely rare Kramer Ripley Stereo Bass, Yamaha Pacifica USA-2 Custom, plus a whole lot more!

Thanks for looking. Please shout if we can help in any way whatsoever!
