I'm hearing nothing but great reviews about this around the internet. Any user opinions here?
The 6 gigs is more of an issue than the price, which seems very reasonable if it's that good.

Bought it. Started to test it out.
Ended up jamming for an hour.
Have never happened with a bass library.
And I have OT cherry, Scarbee's others as well...
So yes, it is freakin awesome.

There is some potentially important information posted by Thomas Skarbye - see post #7 in this thread on the NI forums.

"First of all get used to the fact that you need to set a negative pre-delay on Rickenbacker bass track to get it in sync with ex. drums. This is because there are (at default) 40ms string scrape. The scrape makes a huge difference before and in between the tones. - and create the "sonic sauce" that makes it feel real.
If scrape is 40 ms (can be set shorter in SETTINGS) - withdraw 7 ms and you have approximately the negative value you need: -33 ms. If you set scrape to 30 ms it will be -23 ms etc."

Thanks for passing the info.

How much $ do you think it'll end up? 

I never looked at the prices of those but I figure they must be a lot more expensive than the current bid.

Odd coincidence - the day NI announced their Rick, the friend who's supposed to be playing bass for some cuts on the record bought a black 4001. 

I still want the Scarbee for the demos, though. :s

Well a new one is typically ~$2200. That one is in roughly the year I bought mine for $1000 (new), $2000 would be a steal (for my nostalgia) but I probably wouldn't want to pay more than $1500 but I'm not in a position to make a bid so I'll just let it pass (sadly).

That Rick went for $1650. Probably a steal considering it's rarity in color.


Not to me by the way. I might have paid that if really pressed.
