We Say

Contains both classic basslines (the 12 bar files will let you put together some excellent blues by compiling lines out of the specifically named ‘1,’ ‘5’, and ‘4’ riffs - you don’t even have to listen to them!) and more inspirational, challenging playing, especially in the ‘prog’ and ‘alternative’ rock categories.

Files center around five instrument types: electric bass guitar, upright (acoustic) bass, bass synth, tuba, and piano bass, each reflecting the player and controller used in their creation.

There’s a wide range of styles, including blues, country, disco, funk, hip hop, dance, jazz, reggae, Latin, and rock. There’s some very useful incidental files such as turnarounds, slides, classic lines, and shuffles.
