Features
The Scarbee Rickenbacker Bass Native is a sample-based instrument that runs in Kontakt and the free Kontakt Player. It was recorded with a Rickenbacker 4003 with stainless steel Rotosound strings, using premium Mogami cables and a Metric Halo LIO-8 preamp. The instrument features over 15 GB of 24-bit/96 kHz samples, covering both open-picked and palm-muted articulations. The open-picked articulations were played between the pickups, while the palm-muted articulations were played with the pick hand positioned over the bridge. The instrument also uses the unique Rick-O-Sound stereo output, which splits the signal from the two pickups into separate channels, allowing for more tonal flexibility.
The instrument has a simple and intuitive interface, with four main pages: Main, Tone, Setup, and Effects. The Main page lets you adjust the volume, pan, tuning, and expression of each pickup, as well as the overall mix and output level. The Tone page lets you shape the sound with a four-band EQ, a compressor, a tape saturator, and a cabinet simulator. The Setup page lets you customize the playability and realism of the instrument, with options for velocity curve, legato mode, release noise, fret noise, slide noise, pick noise, and more. The Effects page lets you add some extra spice to your sound with a selection of effects from Guitar Rig and Solid Mix Series, such as distortion, chorus, delay, reverb, and more.
Sound
The sound of the Scarbee Rickenbacker Bass Native is crisp, punchy, and powerful. It captures the distinctive midrange and low end thunder of the Rickenbacker 4003, which can cut through any mix and add some rock attitude to your music. The instrument sounds great in both mono and stereo modes, depending on your preference and genre. The open-picked articulations have a bright and clear tone that works well for funk, pop, indie, and more. The palm-muted articulations have a tight and warm tone that works well for rock, metal, punk, and more. The instrument also responds well to different playing styles and dynamics, giving you a lot of expressive control over your performance.
Performance
The performance of the Scarbee Rickenbacker Bass Native is smooth and realistic. The instrument has a low CPU usage and memory footprint, thanks to the efficient Kontakt engine and sample compression. The instrument also has a fast loading time and a stable operation. The instrument has a high level of detail and realism, thanks to the extensive sampling and scripting by Thomas Skarbye and Nils Liberg. The instrument reproduces the subtle nuances of a real bass guitar, such as fret noise, slide noise, pick noise, release noise, legato transitions, hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, bends, vibrato, mutes, harmonics, and more. The instrument also has a smart round-robin system that avoids repetition of samples and adds more variation to your playing.
