The Waves Bass Slapper includes an extensive sample library of special bass guitar sounds, includ- ing slides, mutes, and harmonic strums. It also offers intuitive position and articulation controls that let users determine precisely where to play on the fret- board, which strings to thumb or pop, when to play legato or staccato, and more.
