01
The instrument
A classic bass, captured from every angle.
We started with a USA-made four-string bass with dual single-coil pickups, chosen for its warm lows, articulate mids and wide tonal range. We recorded both pickup signals directly and added a dedicated ribbon microphone, capturing everything from the focused clarity of the DI to the warm, natural character of the instrument in the room.
02
The virtual instrument
Built for grooves, riffs and everything between.
We turned those recordings into an instrument that moves naturally between played patterns and your own basslines. Fingerstyle, pick, slap and pop performances give you a wide range of playing styles, while detailed articulations and performance controls keep every part feeling like a real player.
