Dubious Electrics

Dubious Electrics is a sample library of ten different electric instruments, each of them in some way off the beaten path. It contains:

• Extralow bass - a semihollow Washburn AB-95 5-string strung with an extra heavy string on the bottom, tuned to E an octave below a standard bass's low E, and with shortened double bass strings for the other four strings.
• Solid violin bass - an early 60s Eko, from the time before they started making hollow-bodied violin basses.
• 8-string bass - a classic Hagstrom 8-string bass from the later 60s.
• Wurli Bass VI - Wurlitzer's take on the Fender Bass VI, that is to say a 6-string tuned an octave below a typical electric guitar. Arguably a baritone guitar and not a "true" bass.
• Rocket guitar - a Harmony Rocket hollowbody with three pickups, not rocket-shaped in the least.
• Violin guitar - a Kingston-brand hollowbody with uneven output.
• Longhorn guitar - aside from the body shape this has little in common with Danelectro's longhorns, but the incorrectly wired pickups do give it a similarly bright sound.
• Fretless guitar - a shredder from the 80s or 90s, with its frets removed.
• 12-String guitar - the guitar version of Hagstrom's 8-string bass.
• Electric banjo - a solidbody constructed like a typical electric guitar, but with a 28-fret banjo neck and a foam mute which doesn't quite work right.

Key features:

• Total of 6135 samples adding up to 3.44 GB of WAV files.
• Every instrument has its own microphonic feedback and differently configured vibrato.
• Layering patch for layering up to three instruments.
• Microphonic feedback patch using the microphonic feedback samples with controllable pitch.
