Project16 Fingered Bass is a sampled Rickenbacker 4001 bass instrument from Bigcat Instruments and Project16. The library contains more than 1,400 samples recorded across three octaves with five velocity layers, giving MIDI bass lines a range of string and playing responses.
The instrument includes fingered and picked material, multiple pickup choices, and muted variants selected through keyswitches. The available mappings cover bridge, both-pickup, and neck-pickup combinations, allowing the same bass line to move from focused attack to a rounder tone.
The library is available as Kontakt and SFZ instruments. Its included arrangement requests credit to Project16 under a Creative Commons-style license, so check the package license text before redistribution or commercial delivery.
