Bardstown Audio's Acoustic Upright "THE BASS" Upgrade

[Bardstown Audio]

Dan Dean, who happens to be one of the best bass musicians in the world in addition to being one of the very best sampled instrument sound developers in the world, graciously offered to fine-tune Bardstown Audio's newest release, "THE BASS," which is an acoustic upright bass with gut strings rather than steel strings. Dan also has perfect pitch as well.

As good as this sampled 24 bit 96k acoustic upright bass sounded when it was initially released a couple of weeks ago, it sounds even better now. I have re-done the demos on our web site in order to reflect this fine-tuning upgrade by Dan Dean. There is also updated information on "THE BASS" information page on our web site as well.

All customers who have purchased "THE BASS" have been sent new DVD's which reflect this upgrade.

Here are links to the demos, which also feature Bardstown Audio's Bosendorfer Imperial Grand Model 290 as well...

Enjoy!

By popular request I re-did the Tunisia demo with the volume turned up on the release note off samples, which capture the sound of the finger coming off of the finger board, in order to provide some string and buzzing noise on THE BASS. This is a very quick and easy adjustment to make in any of the software samplers that this bass is programmed for, including Giga, HALion, Kontakt, Kompakt, and EXS24.

Here is a link to a new demo produced by Craig Sharmat, which features the Bardstown acoustic upright BASS and the Bardstown Classic Accordions. In this demo Craig is playing a D'Jango gypsy style guitar, which is absolutely beautiful.

This demo features the softer warmer sounding side of THE BASS, rather than the more aggressive sound that you can also get from this bass.

Enjoy!
