FIVE STRINGS, NO FRETS

The Bassysm-F is a five-string fretless Ibanez bass guitar with roundwound strings, the smooth, singing kind of bass that sits under a ballad as easily as it leads a jazz line.

It is sampled in depth: around 827 samples, with about 10 velocity layers for the sustains and 13 for the releases, so every dynamic you play has its own sound rather than a louder copy of the one before.

Interface

Bassysm-F interface
Default interface

Legato, hammer-ons and slides

A fretless lives on what happens between the notes. Play legato and the Bassysm-F connects them the way a bassist would, with real hammer-on and slide samples.

The legato mode decides what an overlapping note does: trigger a hammer-on, a slide, a plain sustain, or nothing at all. The legato distance sets the widest interval it applies to, so a big jump is still played as a fresh note.

Legato, hammer-ons and slides

Vibrato, harmonics and ghost notes

An advanced vibrato effect sits on the modulation wheel, so you can bring it in and out as you would with your fretting hand.

Harmonics, ghost notes and string hits are all sampled, along with the sound a string makes when it is released mid-note - the small details that make a bass line sound played rather than programmed.

Shape the tone

Everything you need to fit the bass into a mix is on the front panel: a cabinet simulation, a Bass and Treble EQ, and a chorus - because a fretless and a chorus belong together.

The sensitivity sets how quiet the softest notes are, giving you as much or as little dynamic range as the track needs.

Just having a second listen. I thought there may have been some more reviews by now. Has nobody purchased it yet ?? Still sounds amazing and reminds me somewhat of Bunny Brunel on Chick Corea's TAP STEP and JOBERG PROJECT recordings.

Guys, you gonna demo a Jaco/walking bass-line track ?? !!

Sounds great and very moderately priced !! i did not realize it was a '5 String' until the second tune in. Would be very interesting to hear a WALKING BASS line demo ?? i will definately consider buying this. i found out about this product via the Steinberg Cubase Forum.
