Tascam Dan Dean Giga Bass/Giga CD: Considered by many the best for bass. The highly regarded Dan Dean Bass Collection #1 and #2 combined with additional bonus banks not found on either of the first 2 disks. What's different about these samples First, each and every note of all of the instruments has been sampled. This means that there is no pitch shifting, stretching, or any other alteration of the original sample data. The notes that were played are the notes that you play. The body resonance is constant. The string overtones are constant. The harmonic content of each of the notes is consistent, and so on. This all translates into digital instruments that are more natural sounding. Basses include Alembic Spoiler Bass, Toucan Fretless Bass, Guild Pilot 5-String Bass, Fender Jazz Bass ('60s vintage), Fender Precision Bass ('60s vintage), Rickenbacker 4001 Bass, Hofner Violin Bass ('60s vintage), Gibson Thunderbird Bass, Alembic Spoiler 5-string Bass, Washburn AB-20 Fretless Acoustic Bass Guitar, Guild Ashbory (Rubberband) Bass, Hohner Fretless Acoustic Bass Guitar, and an Acoustic Bass (German 100+ years old). …
