With over 4,000 samples covering all four strings, nine velocity layers, and advanced scripting that makes playing both highly intuitive and stunningly authentic, it’s easy to see why the pros choose SCARBEE PRE-BASS. What’s more, SCARBEE PREBASS makes exceptional use of the KONTAKT interface, displaying a fretboard overview with articulations dynamically updated as you play. SCARBEE PRE-BASS is fully playable in real time, with almost all articulations (including mutes, harmonics, hammer-ons, pull-offs, grace notes and more) available without key switches. The level of expression makes for a truly authentic and fun playing experience, and lends itself to a wide range of styles, from reggae, to pop, rock, hip-hop, R&B and much more. Recorded with round-wound strings to get a fat and dirty sound, SCARBEE PRE-BASS also features a vast and incredibly intuitive set of playing techniques. It’s based on the highly-regarded Scarbee Blue Bass. Add gain on the compressor if you need.Created by the accomplished bassist and producer Thomas Hansen Skarbye, this instrument is a faithfully sampled Fender® Precision bass, with the extraordinary authenticity that Scarbee is known for. Careful with the Bass knob because it easily becomes too boomy.

SCARBEE BASS FOR XP UPDATE
If you don´t have this stomp model you have to update your PODxt using Line6 Monkey. If you buy the Gearbox Plugin VST on Line6 website for your PODxt you´ll get all these amp sims and you will be able to get this tone, then I can send you the exact patches.Īnyway, you can get an usable tone of a guitar PODxt using only the Bass Overdrive stomp model (Sansamp BDDI sim).
SCARBEE BASS FOR XP PATCH
On the second track I want just the mid and high distortion growl, so I set the Low Pass Filter at 200Hz and use a Gearbox patch with the Ampeg SVT amp sim and Sansamp BDDI stomp sim. On the first track I want only the clean lows, so I use Nuendo´s High Pass Filter set on 200Hz, and use a Gearbox patch with the Modern pre amp sim. I record the clean signal (while monitoring with a decent tone on Gearbox), then I duplicate the track and put a Gearbox Plugin (VST) instance on each track. Up The Wolves Rendered.mp3Ĭlick to expand.Unfortunately, no. Not very prominent and I don't know crap about mixing ( obviously ) but with nothing more than note choice on my part it comes across ok. Here's a metal tune I started with it as well. These two clips I posted are not very representative of what I aim to do but I'm pretty sure no one makes a loop set anything like what I'd like.

I always thought Trilogy was more for synth/electronic styles? Ultimately the thing I like most about Broomstick, aside from the generally great sound and control, is that it's MIDI and not audio loops. I've heard that YellowTools Majestic is pretty bad-ass for electric bass sounds. This clip here is dropped down to C I think and that's as low as it'll go. I will say that it doesn't do low tuned stuff so hot. I didn't vary any velocities or anything. At 1/4 thru it shows a little better how the plugin humanizes. It's got no articulation or IK plugin on it. It sounds pretty damn real even without that stuff. I haven't even tried the articulations in Broomstick yet but it has slapping, slides, stacatto, etc. I recently ran it through IK's Ampeg SVX and I liked the results.Īs for programming, I just use Piano Roll. I use something called Broomstick Bass and it has great sounds stock and lots of articulation control as well.
