Hi all,

I want to buy an affordable, but good, sampled bass guitar. Main use is for loud, fast guitar music. I own no commercial sampler but do have DS404 and Extreme Sample Convertor. Anyone got any ideas?

cheers,


Steve

PS if anyone has any ideas for a similarly affordable real time reverb (ie not an impulse modeller) that would also be interesting - currently using FL Studio's one and classic reverb, is anything out there worth paying for at a sensible price?

Try Ambience for the reverb.

Go to www.hammersound.net and download all the bass soundfonts. Some of them are good. Use the free sfz soundfont player to play them.

Thanks - I have Ambience (and donated) and it's pretty good, but somehow it "colours" the sound too much for me most of the time. It's also very CPU heavy.

I have most of Hammersound's soundfonts and some are reasonable, I agree. I just wondered if there was anything commercially available that was better whilst not costing an arm and a leg!

Cheers for the response, much appreciated.

Try this for a good reverb... www.silverspike.com

There's a great little bass guitar patch for Sampletank Free called "Old Four String". You could either use sampletank free or maybe convert it to DS404 or SF2 ? (not sure if that would be entirely legit, right enough)

I don't know about bass guitar samples (I use the real thing), but for reverb you should try Anwida DX reverb light. It's free and it sounds really smooth. http://www.anwida.com/dxrevlight.asp

Thanks to all... I tried Old Four Strings and it's pretty good, also I know the Anwidasoft product well but had forgotten about it! Will resurrect it and give it another try.

Silverspike looks good, I'll try the demo. Has anyone tried PSP's easyverb? I've got the springverb from CM and like it very much, is the bigger package as good?
