I clicked on your link (which took me to the same page I tried to buy from before), added the expansion to the cart, copied and pasted the code (EB5BASS; which I just added by pasting, not by typing, so you can see what I entered), clicked on the '+' to add it...and got the same error as before.
 
Is the store not recognizing my existing license for EB-5?
 
Edit: I am logged in (all my account details, etc., are visible) when I do this.


I am not sure why that is happening. Can you PM and image of your screen? It should work but will definitely try and help you out.

worked fine for me... Don't really need this with Trillian and a zillion other things but definitely wanna support "The Craig"  and maybe it'll motivate me to try Rapture sessions...
 
btw, I typed it in...

I've tried using both Chrome and Edge. I've cleared Cakewalk cookies and the browser cache. Pasted and typed the code in. Same problem. Unable to move forward.
 
Why me?

Is the "Gibson EB-5 String Bass for Dimension Pro" listed in your account?
 
I used FoxFire 43.0.4. The store took the EB5BASS coupon code and shows the discounted price. I do not see a way to remove a coupon code though.

It's listed. I PM'd images of my products to Andrew, but don't want to post it here because it's got all of my serial numbers on it.
 
I also just tried Internet Explorer. Third strike in a row. Very frustrating.

No need to post any image here. CW knows what you have purchased. Since I cannot remove the code from my view of the store, I only have the ability to test the code one time. I am sure they will get the price corrected for you, one way or another.

Well, I received a notification when I started up SONAR this morning, telling me that the Gibson Bass Expansion pack was available. So, I tried again.
 
Success! Perhaps whatever triggered the notification also cleared up my problem. Purchased and installed via CCC. Works jimdandy in Rapture Pro. Happy to have!!!
 
Notified Andrew that all is good in Bassland.

Much appreciated! I think you'll find the pack optimizes electric bass for keyboard bass, which is a somewhat different approach than other sampled instruments.
 
As to the EB5 changes, the main differences are using FLAC instead of WAV to reduce loading time and memory footprint, but more importantly, accessing Rapture's 12 instrument page controls. It took a huge amount of time to tie these controls into strategic parameters within Rapture Pro/Session. If you have a keyboard with knobs like Akai's Advance 49, those eight knobs provide some pretty cool real-time options.
 
One lesson I learned from doing this pack is how basses can sound so different from each other. The Les Paul Standard and Midtown basses are very different from each other, as well as the EB5. If I had to summarize the differences...
 
  • LP Standard Bass - dark, powerful
  • Midtown - bright but rounded/deep, somewhat Rick-like
  • EB5 - snap/definition from the swamp ash body, versatility from the pickup switching
