Native Instruments has released a new Session Bassist series instrument which features authentic playing techniques, an extensive pattern library, and the power of Guitar Rig.
A collaboration with Drumasonic, Session Bassist: Jam Bass captures the iconic sound of a classic dual-pickup electric bass.
Quickly write bass parts in any genre with over 280 playable patterns and phrases, and get the perfect tone with a powerful suite of effects powered by Guitar Rig.
Jam Bass is built on the foundation of a stunning, USA-made offset-body bass, renowned for its tonal versatility. The instrument features dual passive single-coil pickups, allowing players 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. Detailed sampling alongside advanced scripting makes for an incredibly realistic playing experience.
