Evolution Classic Rick captures the distinctive raspy, sizzling bass tone that was the cornerstone of progressive rock during the ‘70s and ‘80s.
Sampled using a vintage mid ‘70s model, Evolution Classic Rick Bass gives you the authentic sound with all the attention to detail and realism you’ve come to expect from our Evolution series. The virtual instrument includes an abundance of articulations, all accessible through the custom mapping system: fingerstyle and picked articulations with open and palm muted combinations of both, plus bonus articulations like slapping and popping. The pickups were recorded as separate signals, allowing you to blend between the bridge pickup’s crisp, biting attack, and the deep, blooming sustain of the neck pickup.
We developed the library in collaboration with Rosewood Recording Company, one of Utah's most venerable recording studios. Guy Randle, the owner and recording engineer at Rosewood Recording Company, incorporated analog audio equipment to skillfully sculpt and emphasize the rich tonal qualities of the bass. Evolution Classic Rick Bass includes both the as-recorded signal as well as an enhanced signal that can be blended to your taste.
Evolution Classic Rick Bass is based on our Evolution engine, which provides you with a wealth of appointments: a flexible mapping system, a comprehensive collection of built-in effects, and a generous amount of settings to tailor the instrument to your performance needs.
