Bass guitar - those extra sounds.... [in Reason Intro 11]

[david1806]

Hi all....

I hope everyone is safe and well in these times.....

So, I am probably going to get Reason Bass in the near future, but in the meantime, is there an instrument that will let me emulate bass guitar sounds e.g. dead notes/slap/pop/hammer on-off.....? Maybe a sample somewhere...? I know that the ID8 bass has a few slide notes, but was hoping for a bit more.....

I did trial Reason Bass, and I was impressed, and come payday, I will probably get it - but would be great to find something now.

Thanks in advance, be safe

For free stuff your best bet is probably General MIDI 'Slap bass 1'  Scarbee rickenbacker is the only I've had experience with myself, a kontakt lib that sounds brilliant in a full mix, but it's the same price as Reason bass and you could just as well get a cheap second hand bass... I'm sure there are slap bass kontakt libraries as well, probably cheaper but all those details are going to ramp up the price. Maybe put an FM patch through an amp sim?

Thanks for that Chim.....

In your situation there is probably no other way... but to sample.
