hi,

I own the upright bass from orange tree samples but don`t think it sounds too good.
Now I´m thinking of getting this one:

Straightahead samples
http://straightaheadsamples.com/shop-2/ ... head-bass/

sounds good to me! Can anyone recommend this one?

or the one from acoustic samples
http://www.acousticsamples.net/bass/akouskontr

sounds good to me, too..maybe a little more "compressed" in a way?!..

Hmmm, I think OTS upright bass sounds quite excellent...

I have to agree, though I do like the sound of all the Straight Ahead Samples stuff. Not sure the bass offers much more than the OTS one though. Maybe different miking?
Textur for ACE
After Hours for Lounge Lizard EP-4
Prism Sticks for Chromaphone 2

by the demos I'm a lot more convinced by the Acoustic Samples. I would have to know that Legato Mode switching is automatable.
That is not a Kontakt instrument. I would investigate further, I'm fairly impressed by Straight Ahead in their brush and mallets, which I acquired.

I'm using VSL Upright bass. Promo price 56 euro. Vastly more powerful interface.

oh, vsl upright sounds really beatiful to me!!

had already bought the straight ahead base before I saw your post though..
..it`s also great as it seems (telling from playing around with it for 1h so far)..

thanks everyone!

Don't forget the acoustic bass premier 2 from premier sound factory.

@sirken: wow! strange that I`ve never heard of that company before.

Can I ask a user of VSL Upright Bass whether it is possible to extend the range of this bass instrument down to D. (jancivil perhaps ?)

I have listened to the demos on the VSL website, and am quite impressed by the tone. I already have the OTS Pear Bass which does tend to be a bit bass-heavy for some of my needs, but the VSL Upright would nicely compliment my tonal choices, as it is actually a sampled 3/4 size instrument with thinner-than-normal two lower strings.

Thanks for any clarification.

In fact the VSL Upright does go down to that D anyway.

Thanks jancivil. I'll get it.

I'm also quite liking the sound of MODWHEEL's The Lowdown library.
Depends on your taste in bass sound a bit I guess, since it's a bit more "sound design-ish"
