Good metal bass samples?

[MetalMX6]

Hi,

I'm currently using Cakewalk Dimension Pro for bass synthesis that I feed into Guitar Rig 3. It gives a decent bass sound, but I'm looking for more realistic bass samples.

Anyone have ideas of some good bass virtual instrument?

Thank you all!

If you have Kontakt, then check out http://www.pettinhouse.com/html/download.html. The bass samples there are really nice...especially for free samples. Just process how you'd process a bass D.I. track.

Thank you!

I listened to the disco sample and it was funny, yet realistic sounding. I'll try these samples over the week-end

How about a real bass? Even a $100 squire will sound better than some virtual instrument.

There is the East West Hardcore Bass.. The demos sounds good, but then again they always do..

Hardcore Bass is pretty nice. I'm really liking Scarbee Black Bass DI atm; humbucker DI samples played fingerstyle, recorded DI. The scripting is very good and it's all a pretty good solution.

Haha, how awkward! For my next set of songs I'm considering using a bass synth and feed it into like Ampeg SVX because I want to elaborate more with techno-metal type of stuff, and you've already done it. I assume your songs weren't supposed to be electronic sounding though, they were supposed to be metal or?

In any case, how did it work out, can you post a clip of a song? I'm curious, I need to experiment.

The software everyone is talking about in this thread are made with samples recorded from actual bass guitars.

+1 on just buying a cheap bass.

If u live in Europe you can buy the Harley Benton basses. They're sold only by www.thomann.de and they sound great for the price.
If u live in the US you can try the www.rondomusic.com ones, same concept: cheap but decent basses.

I see Ibanez and Yamaha basses used at MusicGoRound and other stores for $150+

That said, Broomstick Bass and Scarbee Black Bass both work/sound great to me. I usually run either through AmplitubeSVX or Revalver, etc. Programming either sucks but you get what you pay for, right?
