Ample Bass Upright is documented as based on a Upright Bass, and the instrument's place is stated directly: commonly used in jazz, blues, funk, and similar styles, the Upright Bass is considered one of the most iconic and soulful instruments in jazz music. What distinguishes it from an electric bass library is physical: a large hollow body, gut-adjacent string tone, and a decay that blooms rather than stops, plus the absence of frets, which makes every pitch a placement decision rather than a discrete stop — and the library addresses that specifically. Its recording and articulation detail are documented: Ample Bass Upright was recorded using neck, body, room 3 mics, and DI — the multi-microphone capture being what allows the bass to be placed from close and articulate to distant and roomy — and it includes a slide system specifically designed for fretless instruments, alongside sustain, palm mute, natural harmonic, hammer on and pull off, legato slide, slide in, slide out, slap, pop, tap, accentuated, repeat note, and dead note — 13 articulations, at a size of 4.26 GB, with polyphonic legato and slide smoother enabling realistic legato across any interval and speed and drop tuning supported with the lowest note down to D1. Its tooling includes Riffer 4 with dual MIDI views and intelligent fingering, full MIDI import and export with accurate playback, Tab Reader 4 supporting Guitar Pro files from GP3 to GP8, 3 classic bass amp models and 4 cabinet options with 4 mic types, built-in FX: 8-band EQ, compressor, delay, and convolution reverb, and a large library of pre-made upright bass riffs. System requirements are macOS 10.15 or higher or Windows 8 or higher, 64-bit, with an Intel Core i5 or higher, 10 GB hard disk, in VST2, VST3, AU, AAX, and a standalone host. Note that Ample Bass doesn't work without the sample library, so both the plugin and library must be installed. It suits jazz, blues, funk, soul, folk, and Americana production, and is a natural counterpart to Session Bassist – Upright Bass in a catalogue covering both approaches. #AmpleBassUpright #AmpleSound #UprightBass #DoubleBass #AcousticBass #Fretless #Fingerstyle #Articulations #PolyphonicLegato #SlideSystem #Riffer4 #TabReader #AmpModels #Jazz #Blues #Funk #Soul #Folk #Americana #MusicProduction #Standalone #VST2 #VST3 #AU #AAX #FLStudio #AbletonLive #LogicPro #Cubase
