FuruBass-Fretless

FuruBass-Fretless is a fretless bass library for the full version of Kontakt.

Recorded from a Jazz Bass-style fretless bass with an epoxy-coated fingerboard, it delivers a bright, articulate fretless tone with fast response and expressive playability.

Designed for fast workflow and musical performance, FuruBass-Fretless focuses on natural fretless phrasing without requiring complicated key switches or deep programming.

Its smooth note transitions, natural vibrato, and expressive articulations make it suitable for both traditional bass lines and melodic lead-style playing.
