Patron Exclusive: Coral Fiddle Bass Sample Library

Added 2024-01-17 12:48:14 +0000 UTC

I'm working on a video about this instrument I found in the trash. I won't go into great detail about the adventures I had in restoring it until I'm done with the video, but in the meantime, here is a little sample library I made from it. The sound is the classic thud you expect from a hollow body bass from the 60s.

I played it using just my fingers (i.e. no pick). The Coral Fiddle Bass has two pickups, and what's unique about this sample library is I was able to record both pickups at the same time, meaning there are no phase issues. Because I was only able to put three strings on this instrument, it has a limited range, but I did record each note with four round robins, which should help facilitate fast runs.

NOTE: In order for the tone control on this library to work, you must be using DecentSampler 1.9.13. Even if you don't have the latest DS, the rest of the library should work fine.

As always, if you're logged in to the Decent Sampler plug-in, you should be able to download this library directly from within the DecentSampler store. Otherwise, you can download it directly below.

Enjoy!
