It was captured with both fingers, pick, and slap options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"When we started the EZbass project, we were looking for an instrument that could produce the most versatile and well- rounded tone possible,\" comments Magnus Melkersson, EZbass lead R\u0026amp;D technician. \"We scoured the market and tried dozens of basses before we finally landed on this one. I have played bass all my life and I have personally never come across an instrument more dynamic, expressive, or full of life than this one. It truly is a beautiful instrument that embodies the entire frequency range you need in a bass. It was the perfect choice for the 'Modern' library.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing that particularly sets this instrument apart from other basses is the pickups – single-coils with an active hum-canceling coil mounted in between. This gives the instrument the tonal single-coil characteristics but leaves out any inherent noise. Both the bridge and neck pickups were sampled separately, allowing you to use each pickup separately or seamlessly blend between them. In other words, it’s literally like having two basses in one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Vintage Bass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 'Vintage' library features a classic Fender* Jazz bass, an instrument used across all genres since the 1960s and one that still to this day remains one of the world’s most iconic bass guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"As a contrast to the 'Modern' bass, we wanted an instrument that was fundamentally different in all aspects – from tone, frequency range, and pickups to overall feel,\" says Ulf Edlund, one of the lead EZbass sound designers. “This bass has a completely different set of harmonics compared to the ‘Modern.’ Although it sits perfectly in any pop, rock or even metal track, it truly shines in any context that calls for something more mellow. I would pick this bass over anything else for a jazz, blues, or country song.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bass was hot-wired to offer the same type of flexibility with the pickup options as the 'Modern' bass, meaning you can use each pickup separately or seamlessly blend between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eArticulations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEZbass delivers the most all-encompassing set of articulations you need in order to produce stunningly real performances for anything from subtle jazz to extreme metal.

The presets in EZbass cover a broad range of expertly crafted tones based on amp and cab simulation as well as on the same complex network of effects used behind the scenes in all EZ Line products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach preset has a number of controls that you can use to fine-tune the intensity of the processing. First, each pickup on the selected bass has its own continuously variable level control, allowing you to define the perfect balance between the neck and bridge pickups for your mix. Second, the preset-dependent processing controls give you the flexibility to dial in the overall tone of the bass sound. These seemingly simple controls are linked to any number of sound processing actions behind the scenes, meaning that multiple EQ adjustments, dynamic characteristics, and other effects can all be tied to a single knob for the user. In addition, each control offers ‘MIDI Learn,’ ‘MIDI Learn Reversed’ and ‘Bind to CC’ options. This will allow you to automate and customize the bass sound throughout the course of a mix.\u003cbr\u003eAlready have a favorite bass signal chain in your DAW? Simply use the DI (direct in) presets and take advantage of the multi-sampled detail that EZbass provides with your series of chosen processors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSub-Bass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother powerful and not-so-subtle option in terms of sound is the ’Sub-Bass’ control. This knob adds and controls the levels of two synthesized sine tones to each note and was implemented in order to add both fullness and definition to the overall tone of the instrument. This can also be routed out on a separate track for individual processing in your DAW using the ‘Multi-Out’ option. The same routing option applies to the DI tone, giving you full flexibility to shape, mold, and hone your tone using any chain of processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Toontrack","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33187380461700,"sku":"TT450SN","price":134.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0016\/5173\/6636\/products\/EZbass.png?v=1589879218"},{"product_id":"toontrack-ebx-classic-rock","title":"Toontrack EBX: Classic Rock","description":"\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N7_pKiwm7cg\" height=\"506\" width=\"900\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn-Your-Face Bass\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBass, presets, and MIDI – all tailored for thunderous classic rock.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Classic Rock EBX is an expansion for EZbass featuring a meticulously captured 1960s bass.

phenomenon of 12-string basses first surfaced in the seventies and gained further prominence during the 1980s when popularized by several notable players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince then, it's earned somewhat of a cult status and etched its mark on a number of genres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this EBX, we've carefully captured a pristine, modern-day instrument and sprinkled in presets and MIDI performances that'll give you a total package for use in virtually any style imaginable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're after a unique bass sound that chimes and screams of rattling strings at the same time as it's earthshakingly heavy and harmonically complex, this is the next stop on your EZbass journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its noticeably rich but bell and almost harp-like sound, the unique tone of a 12-string bass goes way beyond the conventional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTuned like a regular four-string bass (E-A-D-G), but with each string accompanied by two individual octave strings, it produces a multi-textured sound brimming with bright and shimmering overtones that still have the traditional thunderous low-end roar of a regular bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the instrument itself, this EBX also includes a basic collection of basslines as well as a selection of mix-ready presets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpanning anything from the absolutely bare-bones and basic to involving amps, modulation and various effects, the presets were designed to bring you the utmost width this bass can offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a bonus, each preset also offers a layer of an FM synth, allowing you to seamlessly blend in a texture of classic synth bass to further boost the low end of your tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're looking for a bass that has twelve times the tone, you need three times the strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrust us, don't stop at four, six or even eight - supercharge your EZbass with this expansion and crank it up to twelve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA carefully sampled 12-string electric bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor anything
