The deal
$29.99 at KVR Marketplace (down from $199.00), 84% off. The sale runs through October 6, 2026.
What it is
Bass Ray5 is a deeply sampled virtual bass instrument from Sound Magic that recreates a Music Man StingRay 5 bass guitar. It's built from over 21GB of uncompressed samples (7,600+) with multi-velocity layers and round-robin sampling, capturing both pick and finger playing styles along with extended techniques like mutes, slides, bends, hammer-ons, and pull-offs for realistic phrasing.
Who it's for
Producers and songwriters who want a convincing, punchy electric bass in their mix without tracking a real player. It fits rock, pop, funk, and modern productions that call for an authentic StingRay tone and articulation.
Key features
- The VStomp effect system includes 26+ amp models and 20+ cabinet emulations from brands like Marshall, Fender, Ampeg, Mesa, and Orange
- Left and right channels can run through different amps for stereo tone shaping
- A built-in FX chain lets you shape the sound without leaving the plugin
- Extended articulations (mutes, slides, bends, hammer-ons, pull-offs) are sampled directly rather than simulated
