Bass Fingers

Nuanced multi-sampled fingerstyle bass with keyswitched articulations

The Richest, Most Realistic Fingerstyle Bass

Bass Fingers captures the sound, and the naturally warm vibe, of finger-style bass. 14,000 samples feature multiple velocity layers, natural sustain, and “round robin” note rotation. Choose where on the neck to play notes, because the same note has different tones depending on where it’s played.

Keyswitching adds articulations like legato samples, up/down slides, squeaks, hammer-ons, and more. Control your velocity ranges, adjust tone for different bass characters, mute notes… Bass Fingers feels ultra-natural and real.

Use as a plugin or play as a standalone instrument
8 velocity layers, 6 round robins for every sampled note
Full 5-string articulation: natural hammer-ons & pull-offs, release & decays, sampled slides and more
21 interactive playing positions with intelligent adaptive fretboard
The amp sim delivers pure, classic tones—or pour on some growl
