I used to have a double bass & how I got into VSTis was that I bought Sound on sound & Computer music when I was looking at going digital and one of them contained a double bass VSTi. It were unbelievable ! I thought the sound was fantastic, it was like the player was in the room with me. My wife was pregnant and space was an issue, I sold my double bass and went looking for a good double bass VSTi, thinking they would be easy to find.
After 8 years of trying so many {including the famous Trilogy} and never finding one that was just like the real thing {the Danny Thompson one is by far the best......but still missing a couple of moves that I needed} and finding that my fretless acoustic bass guitar didn't sound like it either {although it has it's own unique sound, with tweaking}, I just thought I'd go back to the real thing ! So I bought a half size one a few months back and I look forward to recording with it. It's pretty much bottom of the range, but then, so am I as a player !
