FuruBass-JB1965 — 1965 Vintage Jazz Bass Library for KONTAKT
🎸 FuruBass-JB1965 — Vintage Jazz Bass Library for KONTAKT
Trusted by over 550 professional composers and producers in Japan.
Overview
FuruBass-JB1965 was sampled from an original 1965 vintage Jazz Bass, recorded using the same studio gear and workflow that Japanese bassist, composer, and arranger Takahiro Furukawa uses in real-world recording sessions.
FuruBass is designed with one clear philosophy:
Never interrupt musical inspiration.
There are no complicated key switches, no deep menus, and no setup required.
Just load the instrument and play — even simple MIDI input immediately sounds natural and musical.
This is the flagship instrument of the FuruBass series, capable of covering everything from solid bass lines to expressive melodic phrases.
Requires: Full version of KONTAKT 5.8.1 or later (not compatible with KONTAKT Player).
