Trusted by over 550 professional composers and producers in Japan.
Overview
FuruBass-PB1966 was sampled from an original 1966 vintage Precision Bass, recorded using the exact studio gear and recording 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.
Simply load the instrument and start playing — even straightforward MIDI input immediately sounds natural, solid, and musical.
FuruBass-PB1966 delivers the unmistakable character of a vintage Precision Bass:
focused low end, strong mid presence, and a tone that sits perfectly in a mix without effort.
Requires: Full version of KONTAKT 5.8.1 or later
