Native Instruments have released Jam Bass, available for $99.00.
Delivering the unmistakable sound of a classic dual-pickup bass guitar, Jam Bass samples a stunning USA-made model, bringing its smooth warmth, articulate mids, and deep, resonant lows to your productions.
Whether you’re crafting intricate jazz lines, tight funk grooves, or driving rock riffs, this meticulously sampled instrument provides the flexibility and tonal richness that has made it a staple for legendary players for decades.
Jam Bass captures a legendary offset-body bass designed for tonal versatility. Its dual single-coil pickups allow you to blend the warmth of the neck position with the crisp, punchy clarity of the bridge pickup, delivering a smooth low end and defined midrange. Play it with a range of articulations, including fingerstyle, plectrum, slaps, pops, as well as various rhythmic 16th note, 8th note, triplets, and crescendo patterns.
Shape your sound with pristine DI signals and tone controls, or add warmth with a premium ribbon mic signal. Take your tone further with an extensive amp and effects suite powered by Guitar Rig 7 Pro, packed with classic and modern bass amps, cabinets, compressors, distortions, and studio-quality effects. From smooth, rounded lows to gritty, overdriven growls, explore 54 expertly-crafted sound presets or build your sound from the ground up.
Jam Bass offers two ways to play, with one instrument for laying down patterns and another for playing your own melodies and solos. Together, they make it easy to create authentic and expressive bass parts in any genre, with a range of articulations, techniques, and playing styles to bring your ideas to life.
Quickly browse and select from an extensive collection of professionally performed bass patterns, spanning everything from intricate syncopated funk to tight, driving rock and jazz grooves. With over 200 patterns across multiple song presets, MIDI drag-and-drop functionality allows for full customization in your DAW. Adjust swing and humanization controls for natural feel, and shift accents to lock into your track.
Jam Bass requires a free or full version of Kontakt 8.2.0 or later.
