Grind the mixture
With influence from stage to studio, the ICON BASS is favored by some of the greatest musicians to ever play it. One of the first basses to boast a built-in 2-band active EQ, as well as a large alnico humbucker pickup located near the bridge, it is ideal for a set of bright and punchy basses that need attention.
The feeling of a real session
ICON BASS gives your DAW a professional session bass player with a wide range of articulation options, including fingers, plectrum, claps, open and muted notes, chromatic dead notes, harmonics, and more. The engine automatically adds realistic taps and pulls for authentic transitions and repetitions, as well as fret noise and a wide range of slide intervals for smooth, dynamic and detailed performances.
Master your tone
Use the instrument’s natural character or customize your tone with carefully modeled tone controls. Channel your sound with four amps and ten cabinets, including Bass Invader and Bass Pro from GUITAR RIG 6 PRO. Choose between eight expressive stompboxes and eleven high quality studio effects including distortion, modulation, vintage compressors, studio EQ, reverb and delay emulation, then tailor them to your liking or be inspired by the extensive library of 58 sound presets.
Four strings, two instruments
ICON BASS comes with two instruments – a main pattern instrument and a second melodic instrument for combining your own melodies with patterns and phrases. Together, they make it easy to create authentic and expressive basslines in any genre with a variety of articulations, techniques and playing styles to help bring your ideas to life.
