SWAM Double Bass is the most realistic and expressive virtual double bass on the market.
There is no limit to the number of possible combinations with SWAM Solo Strings.
On SWAM Double Bass, for example, it is possible to combine a portamento of any speed, during a crescendo or a diminuendo, while playing a tremolo. This is possible because this instrument is based on physical and behavioural modeling.

This, along with the others in the SWAM series, is probably the most accurate emulation of the physical instrument, double bass in this case, available on the market. The overall tone is very convincing and it has numerous articulation controls (dynamic, bow/pizz. position, bow pressure, vibrato, tremolo styles, harmonics and others) to make it indistinguishable from the real thing. And it is quite light on the CPU. Running ~10 instances with full automation is no problem and I have a laptop.
The thing is pricey but is worth every penny.
