SMOOTH ELECTRIC BASS
PERFECTLY SAMPLED 70S DISCO AND FUNK BASS
SCARBEE MM-BASS is based on the highly-regarded Scarbee Black Bass created by
accomplished bassist and producer Thomas Hansen Skarbye and inspired by the sound of
Bernard Edwards (Chic). Bringing you the warm and creamy fingered bass sound of the
70s known from countless disco and funk recordings, SCARBEE MM-BASS is an outstanding
addition to our series of "Powered-by KONTAKT" instruments - ready for use with the
free KONTAKT 5 PLAYER or KONTAKT 5.
The SCARBEE MM-BASS is also available as anAmped Version, including four different
amp sounds.
THE BASS:
The SCARBEE MM-BASS was recorded with flatwound strings to get that warm, creamy sound
of 1970s disco and funk bass lines. The bass was recorded through a DI box to give
maximum flexibility in the sound production. Furthermore, the full strings of the bass
were sampled in order to reproduce the timbre changes that occur when you move between
low and high frets - giving you rich, natural sound with all the overtones.
SCARBEE MM-BASS is much more than just a collection of samples. It features an extensive
set of playing techniques including sustains, mutes, harmonics, hammer-ons, pull-offs,
slides and more. And thanks to some sophisticated scripting, SCARBEE MM-BASS comes
vividly to life with features such as a dynamic fretboard display, chord recognition,
random alternation between varying release samples, random insertion of pickup hits and
realistic vibrato - all to put the swagger into your groove.
Number of instruments:
- 1 (including 17 articulations and diverse effect presets)
