If you’re tired of dealing with an actual bass player showing up late to rehearsal, eating all your snacks, and playing way too loud, Volume 15 is your ultimate revenge. Curated by low-end legend Dan Dean, this sample CD allowed 90s keyboardists to politely inform their rhythm section that their services were no longer required. It’s boutique bass tone, completely devoid of bassist ego.

The Boutique Behemoths: Featuring the Alembic Spoiler and the Guild Pilot 5-String. Finally, you can harness the sound of meticulously crafted, incredibly expensive woods and custom electronics by aggressively pounding on a plastic MIDI keyboard.

The Toucan Fretless: Essential for when your track desperately needs the slippery, emotive sound of a late-night smooth jazz radio broadcast or an emotional montage in a 1991 buddy cop film.

The Sitcom Special: With comprehensive “slap” and “pop” articulations, you have the absolute unbridled power to write your own aggressively funky transitions for a 90s television show.

Muted and Picked: For when you need a driving, rhythmic rock bassline but absolutely refuse to develop calluses on your fingers.

Just slide this disc into the SCSI CD-ROM drive of your E4 Ultra, EOS, or ESI sampler, and prepare to give your left hand an absolute workout. It’s all the thick, sustaining analog warmth of premium bass hardware, perfectly trapped inside a beige digital box.
