That’s for you to decide, but even if you choose not to get Komplete, at the price of $99 this Rickenbacker is definitely a tool to have in your collection. After Native Instruments announced a collaboration with Scarbee earlier this year, they have been steadily adding Scarbee’s existing products to the Kontakt powered product line. Now the question remains, do you get this on it’s own…or do you get it with part of Komplet 9 which will be dropping on the 27th of March? It’s derived from the Scarbee Blue Bass library, and the first release in the recently established development partnership between sampling expert Thomas Hansen Skarbye and Native Instruments. It’s not as smooth sounding as a Jazz bass but I find I can get the tone I need out of this much quicker than many other bass instruments…and there’s just something about the detail in the sound I can’t quite explain but I can hear it! Black Bass is produced and recorded by Scarbee director Thomas Hansen Skarbye himself and developed together with Kontakt script wizard Nils Liberg to create a highly playable instrument for musicians, composers, and producers looking for a unique bass sound. I’m a Komplete user so I’ve played with all the bass libraries NI has done with Scarbee and this one is by far my favorite. Scarbee has released Black Bass, a sample library made for N.I.

I think it sounds great, is easy to use, and super fast to tweak as well. I know sound is subjective, that’s why I do these videos so you can make up your own mind.įor me, I feel the Scarbee Rickenbacker deserves 5 out of 5 subs. This bass really sounds good and I find myself grabbing for it as a first choice when I want a nice, clean, deep, and real sounding bass. Sure there are some there for those that want to dig into that, but I like just being able to play and having the instrument respond to velocity, legato, and my overall playing.īut at the end of the day, that’s all fine and good, yet if it doesn’t sound good I won’t use it. I also love that the scripting is powerful enough to make it sound great without requiring any key switching. I love the tone of it, it has a rich deep tone with plenty of detail while playing. While previous Scarbee bass libraries were great, I feel this one is really well done. I really, really….REALLY like the sound of this bass! As you can tell from the video, I enjoy it quite a bit. Of course it has a custom interface, scripting, effects, and everything needed to add to the experience and play-ability of the instrument.Īs for me, first and foremost I want to know how it sounds… This library specifically captures the sound of a Rickenbacker 4003
