As Orange Tree Samples' most extensively sampled instrument to date, Iconic Bass™ Jaco provides incredible realism and playability. According to Orange Tree Samples founder, Greg Schlaepfer, "Iconic Bass Jaco was the most challenging bass library we've produced. As a bass player, and a huge fan of the man, I was extremely demanding in producing this library. I'm certain that the end result made it worth the effort. This library establishes a new standard for us. It has more detail and features than any of our existing libraries, including retrigger samples, multiple velocity layers, and variable release samples. It takes advantage of Kontakt’s powerful scripting engine to produce realism that would not otherwise be achievable. Even seasoned pros will not be able to tell the difference between a well played performance with Iconic Bass Jaco and a live bass player. Best of all, it's really enjoyable to play."

Jaco's famous fretless jazz bass is currently in poor shape, painstakingly glued together after it was smashed in the mid '80s. Orange Tree Samples was able to get as close as possible by using a recreation of Jaco's bass made by the same company as the original model. We meticulously recreated the fine details, such as using the identical roundwound .045 gauge strings that Jaco preferred, and sampled the bass directly from the output of the electric bass, the way Jaco typically recorded in the studio. To achieve his dynamic tone, Iconic Bass Jaco features samples taken from several different plucking positions, such as playing close to the bridge in order to obtain the growly, biting tone commonly called the "Jaco growl". And just like Jaco, who worked in jazz, pop, and rock, this library fits in many musical genres. For example, just add distortion to the "Jaco growl" and you'll find it fits perfectly in hard-hitting rock tracks. The library also includes samples with a deeper, mellower tone where the plucking hand is much closer to the neck of the bass, and fits very well in many pop and rock productions.
