Why sample the Quake bass?
As an extended range guitar player myself, there have been situations while writing where I really wanted the bass guitar to follow along in the octave below. Traditional basses just weren't cutting it and when I got my hands on the Quake, it really allowed me to explore sub-octaves with clarity that I'd never heard before. This sample library is intended to give others like me an affordable and great sounding option for getting the bass an octave below even the lowest guitars. The Quake was recorded with the bridge humbucker (passive) through a Neve RNDI box directly into my interface. What you hear is exactly what comes out of the instrument. This allows you to use any signal chain and tweak the sound just as you would an actual Quake.

Suggested Uses:
- Write bass lines for your project's demos or final mixes.
- Inspire new ideas in the box that you can take to the stage/studio.
- Augment a bass VSTi or live bass to reach down lower than you could before.
- Use sub octave notes and pitch automation to create or layer on a bass drop.
- Add some distortion to make the bass the focal point of a breakdown.

This library is a Kontakt Instrument and as such is ONLY compatible with Kontakt 6 & 7.

This library was a team effort. A huge thank you goes to Kalium Music for their support and blessing to make this product. Hopefully this can put the Quake sound in the hands of many more people and inspire them to create music. Also a huge thank you goes to Kelson Johnson for offering tons of advice and ultimately coding the plugin, thus creating the VSTi. You can contact either of them at the hyperlinks below:
