Waves Bass Slapper

Slapping bass with your thumb makes such a cool sound, but it’s impossible to sample… right? Not anymore. 3,700 multisamples, with round-robin note assignments and articulations, nail the 70s bass sound that players like Larry Graham and Bootsy Collins used to power funk, disco, and pop.

Select a warm, old-school sound, or bright modern—even choose the neck position where notes play, because the same note sounds different at different positions. It’s all about slap bass realism.
