NAMM 2006Sony releases Tony Franklin and Siggi Baldursson Libraries

-
Sony Creative Software

Sony has announced the launch of Tony Franklin: Not Just Another Pretty Bass, a 2-disc 24-bit loop library from one of the industry's most recognized bassists. This is one of the first titles in Sony Media Software's new Artist Integration series that gives top recording artists such as Tony Franklin, who played with Jimmy Page in The Firm, the chance to construct new loop libraries, using existing libraries from Sony's Loops & Samples collection for reference.

To create Not Just Another Pretty Bass, Tony Franklin played bass over drum loops selected from Siggi Baldursson's Drumsugar and Zero-Gravity Beats collections. Tony's favorite loops from these two titles were combined to form a new counterpart, The Best of Siggi Baldursson: The Drum Loops collection, which is also now available for purchase.

Tony Franklin is at the Sony booth at NAMM (booth #6201) each day to perform, sign autographs and discuss the project. In addition, to celebrate this Premium Collection release, Fender Musical Instruments Corporation will give away a Fender Tony Franklin Fretless Precision Bass for a drawing that will happen at the NAMM Show on Sunday, January 22 in the Sony booth.

In addition, fans of the bassist can participate in an exclusive remix contest titled "Thirty Second Power Trip" at ACIDplanet. Entrants can create their own power trio with Tony Franklin bass loops, Siggi Baldursson drum loops and themselves on a lead instrument. Each submission must be no longer than 30 seconds. Along with other prizes from Sony, the winner will be considered for a future Sony Sound Series loop library.

The Tony Franklin: Not Just Another Pretty Bass Premium Collection library is now available for $99.95 MSRP. The Best of Siggi Baldursson: The Drum Loops is also available for $59.95 MSRP.
