The bass that can do it all

Delivering the unmistakable sound of a classic dual-pickup bass guitar, Jam Bass samples a stunning USA-made model, bringing its smooth warmth, articulate mids, and deep, resonant lows to your productions. Whether you're crafting intricate jazz lines, tight funk grooves, or driving rock riffs, this meticulously sampled instrument provides the flexibility and tonal richness that has made it a staple for legendary players for decades.

Two pickups, infinite tones

Jam Bass captures a legendary offset-body bass designed for tonal versatility. Its dual single-coil pickups allow you to blend the warmth of the neck position with the crisp, punchy clarity of the bridge pickup, delivering a smooth low end and defined midrange. Play it with a range of articulations, including fingerstyle, plectrum, slaps, pops, as well as various rhythmic 16th note, 8th note, triplets, and crescendo patterns.
