Native Instruments releases Scarbee Pre-Bass Amped

Native Instruments has announced the release of Scarbee Pre-Bass Amped, an additional version of the Pre-Bass software instrument that provides "a meticulous, highly musical rendition of the iconic Fender Precision bass, recorded through a selection of distinctive amplifiers". Pre-Bass Amped is derived from the Scarbee Blue Bass library, and offers production-ready bass tones for a variety of styles and genres.

Scarbee Pre-Bass Amped expands on the already available Pre-Bass instrument by providing additional versions of the instrument recorded through four different amplifiers, offering distinctive characteristics perfectly suited for a variety of musical styles. Available in Fat, Heavy, Crunchy, and Pop versions, the bass tones in Pre-Bass Amped range from warm, round and tight to crispy, hard, and even slightly distorted types.

The "Amped" version offers the same level of detail as the previously released Pre-Bass instrument, with all four strings expertly sampled in nine velocities through each of the amplifiers, resulting in 12 GB of sample material. Powered by the Kontakt engine, Pre-Bass Amped is playable via the free Kontakt Player as well as the full Kontakt sampler.

Scarbee Pre-Bass Amped is available for purchase in the NI Online Shop for $119 / €99.
