Something else new to fuel the GAS

This library is a detailed emulation of a hi-end 5-string “studio custom” fretless bass from the famous Canadian company F-Bass. We recorded 12 dynamic layers for each fret of each string with different playing techniques and articulations.
The three right hand positions in one patch: normal, soft, jaco. Additional articulations - allow you to conveniently and quickly edit your midi notation or play in real-time. We have minimized the use keyswitches, making the instrument simple and intuitive to use. A sophisticated algorithm to select strings in real time, automatically selects the natural bass guitar left-hand position on the fretboard. Manual string and position selection are also available.
The library’s repetition keys make it easy to play realistic ostinato bass-lines.  FX glissando will allow you to introduce new musical “colors” to your bass guitar parts. Multiple legato types are changed automatically, depending on the first note played.
Included, are several Legato modes, Open String mode, Chord Detection mode and X-note mode; for the convenience of composers and arrangers!

 
Sounds good in the demos tracks, particularly "Elis"
 

Actually it makes me want to own a real fretless bass.
 
I do not like how I approach bass guitar lines when I play them on the keys.

I'm afraid I'd fret over it...

I'm sure this will be good. I love his acoustic guitars. 

I trying to think who it was that listed his instruments as Fretless and Fretful basses. Might have been Richard Sinclair of Caravan??
 
Seriously though this one is very tempting. I have been hoping Greg will update the Orange Tree Jaco.
 
Going off on a bit of a tangent: Here is an unusual bass from Ilya Efimov, has anyone tried it?

A 3-string bass. For when 4 strings are just too confusing! (No bass-player jokes, please.)
 
I'd actually love to give that one a go. I've heard a bass balalaika at the local Russian restaurant and it sounds pretty cool, at least in the context of Russian acoustic music. It might, however, be an interesting substitute for standup bass for jazz. Or, you never know, maybe even run through an amp sim for prog rock.
 

I gave this a listen and the demo did make it sound very nice but I am struggling with the $135.40 when I already have OTS Jaco and Spectrasonics trilian. I can't make out what this would bring to the table that I don't already have.

Yeh, I'd guess having that plus Trillian and Jaco would be beyond redundant. Not that I'd mind being in that position.
 
I'd love to have Trillian. I have plenty of bass libs, from the workaday to the specialized, but still often struggle to get the sound I'm after. Trillian sounds like a one-stop all-in-one solution.

Put a chorus and distortion plug on it and call it a day.

Sshh...that's my trade secret.
