These particular models of bass often crop up in sample libraries and virtual instruments, though for some reason the Rickenbacker is a comparative rarity. All are eminently playable, extremely expressive and uncannily realistic. Scarbee have already produced three excellent virtual bass guitars: J-Bass, Pre-Bass and MM-Bass (Jazz, Precision and Music Man). I can't deny a frisson of eager anticipation whenever Native Instruments release a virtual instrument with the Scarbee branding. Have Scarbee nailed its distinctive qualities? The 'Ricky' bass sound graces many a classic track.
