With all the features, options, and tweakability, this is a great choice for a superb sounding bass instrument. I didn’t have any troubles messing with it and I doubt you will either. Loaded up, it takes about 200mb or so, not bad, and it plays good. Like I said, everything can be accessed from the main screen of the instrument, so it keeps it streamlined and ready to go. It loads up as a libray in kontakt, and there is only one instrument, the bass.

It is a kontakt instrument, but you don’t need the full version of Kontakt to play it, as it works with Native Instruments free kontakt player. It can be as deep or as simple as you want it, and no matter how you use it, the sound will remain top notch. You can go as deep as you want, so for all you bassist, you’ll love it, and for all your producers that like me, just want to sound good…it’s good for that too. And it automatically alternates “fingers” on repeated notes, good stuff. They have things like “player profiles” which sets up the sound towards a specific type of music, which is dope.Įq, chords, pickup, hits, all that can be adjusted. If you’re like me, you may not know everything it’s talking about, but they do put some notes in the interface and make it easy to just play around. Now the pre bass does have a lot of features, but it’s very easy to access them all from the performance interface. I’ve seen some sampled bass instruments before, and it was so hard to use all the features, I just moved on. They’ve done some great programming so that it doesn’t sound stale and lifeless and the programming helps you create some awesome sounding riffs.Īlternations, chords, slides, frets, pickups, hits, everything you’d get from a real bass…it’s all here. Not made for subs and synth bass sounds, this is for those real funk, soul, rock…authentic sounding basslines your music craves from time to time. The instrument itself sounds AWESOME, it is a very realistic sounding bass instrument. I’m not a bass player, so I can’t tell you much about the fender precision joint, but I will say I love a good bass. The Pre Bass is the first of many instruments to come out of this new partnership. Well, first off, Scarbee is a fantastic sample/sound design company that has partnered with Native Instruments to distribute their fantastic instruments.

So what’s up with the bass and who is Scarbee? This instrument is based on the Fender Precision bass, and promises to give you a very realistic bass sound.

Today I want to take a look at their new bass instrument they sent me to review, the Scarbee Pre Bass. It’s about that time for some more loving from Native Instruments, and boy have they been busy!
