A good example is Paul McCartney's bass sound on 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds'- this was reputedly a damped Ricky 4001 with flat-wound strings. Although muted, the sound still has plenty of body and sustain, with a pronounced pick attack. The Palm Mute instrument simulates the effect of using the damper bar on the tailpiece of the original bass, (removed by the majority of Ricky players!) and favoured by country and western players. nki instruments in two flavours, Palm Muted and undamped. The model sampled for SRB was a 4003, with Rotosound Swing Bass 66 round-wound strings providing that characteristic 'Ricky' wiry top end. It's the first Scarbee bass to have been played with a pick rather than fingers, so it's tonally very different to their previous bass products. Scarbee's Rickenbacker Bass (SRB) expands on their existing virtual basses with a posh new GUI, built-in effects, and some welcome improvements to the KSP scripting. It was only a matter of time before someone would redress the balance, and as a fully paid-up prog rocker, I couldn't be more pleased that Scarbee have risen to the challenge. Rickies have provided the signature sound of bassists across a hugely diverse range of musical styles, from Bruce Foxton of the Jam to Chris Squire of Yes their throaty, almost guitar-like tone is instantly recognisable, and remains the definitive bass sound for many progressive rock bassists. These particular models of bass often crop up in sample libraries and virtual instruments, though for some reason the Rickenbacker is a comparative rarity. All are eminently playable, extremely expressive and uncannily realistic. Scarbee have already produced three excellent virtual bass guitars: J-Bass, Pre-Bass and MM-Bass (Jazz, Precision and Music Man).
I can't deny a frisson of eager anticipation whenever Native Instruments release a virtual instrument with the Scarbee branding. Have Scarbee nailed its distinctive qualities? If you have a little more to spend, you can get a used Mexican bass for around $200-300.The 'Ricky' bass sound graces many a classic track. A squier vintage modified can be had for around $150. If you want that raw sound, sample a real bass yourself. Using the scarbee will likely sound too clean and polished. It siound like thats what they did on those beats, so if you want that sound, thats what I'd do.
#SCARBEE BASS HOW TO#
If you just want to use it to sample 1 or 2 notes, you don't even need to know how to play it.
#SCARBEE BASS SOFTWARE#
If I were you though, instead of spending $120 on a software program, I'd just buy a cheap used real bass. I used to think I needed my synth for these duties too (I used to combine saws and triangles with low passes in synths) but trust me, it's easier than that.īass guitar."yeah, I agree, you basically posted what I was about to post as I was typing it out. It's just a single note from a bass guitar. "Kev Brown shows it's not some magical bass patch. Once inside your sampler, use a low pass filter and a little resonance."
Sample some notes off a bass guitar with the highs rolled off. "Bass? All of those pete rock/kev brown style bass sounds can be had easily. So what do you think was used? I mean which hardware or soft?
