Twiddly Bits Bottoms Up Bass MIDI File (PC)
More than 600 thundering basslines make up this collection, ranging from reggae bass guitar to R&B synth, from swing jazz to alternative rock, from techno to tuba.
To some extent anyone vaguely proficient on keys can lay down a bassline. But that’s not the point: bass players ‘think bass’ and the difference here is that you’ll have basslines that will add a new dimension to your sequences, not just add a low tonality on or around the root .
Want your sequences to sound like they were created by a group, not just you? Spin in some of these basslines and you’ll be amazed at the difference.
Bottoms Up 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.
Bottoms Up embraces a huge range of styles, including blues, country, disco (you’ll just love ‘em), funk, hip hop, dance, jazz, reggae, Latin, and rock. Additionally you’ll find some very useful incidental files such as turnarounds, slides, classic lines, and shuffles.
