For the recording process, the author used an Earthworks QTC40 microphone. The result: 41 chromatic bass samples delivered in 24bit, 44.1k, total size being around 25 MB.
These samples should be flexible enough to compliment other orchestral sample library bass pizz sections. Use the samples to fill out and embellish your orchestral Bass sections. Layer multiple instruments with different EQ, volume, and panning for more realistic sections or divisions. The samples would also work well for a plucked jazz bass, experiment with various uses.
