Thanks for your reply Nils.
I'm going to buy Black Bass, because I'm really inringued by his playability, but I too vote for an upgrade to Slap and Fingered, I love the sound of this bass!

I really love Black Bass. I'm hoping Thomas and friends do a fretless bass. Doubtlessly
a programming challenge, but it would be fantastic.

Good idea - give J S&F extra capabilities by exploit K2.2 scripting and controls. All that would be needed would be a few extra nki/nkm files for K 2.2.

I can use the demo of kontakt 2, but how could I guage the black bass samples?
For the standard effect preset the cpu usage is normally 1% and sometimes 2% on my computer - an AMD 4400+ with 2GB RAM. For some presets with more effects it can increase by a few percent. It's very efficient. This is the cpu usage reported by Kontakt 2 on the Engine tab. The latest versions of Kontakt 2 are very stable in my experience.

ok, that is about the same system I have so that is good.

Yeah, is it bad that I want Jaco on my sample machine? A silky fretless with all the programming of BB would be sweet. I want Portrait of Tracy!

I'll might do a picked bass next, but first finger-pick and slap expansion of Black Bass - which is my main axe.

will you use flat-wound stings also for the slapped bass? (I would prefer round-wound)? And I hope you make use of your precision bass when sampling the picked bass.

cheers, akj

I'd prefer he used the same bass for different articulations - most bassists don't change axe mid-flow

I think the J-Slap'n'Fingered is round-wound, and is now available with the K2 script enhancements.

The Black Bass FingerPick Expansion will be first release - then Black Bass Slap.
It will be all flatwound so it matches sound of Black Bass. You will be surprised how funky the slap sound is...

After this - I think I will do "Sunburst Bass" - based on the p-sound..
I may do this as picked first - to get a completely new sound...

Then fingered and slap..

that's a good schedule. I hope next are: fretless, upright and an acoustic bass guitar.
