The acoustic bass is a bass instrument that was first developed in the mid-1950s, but wasn't popularized till the 1960s. This instrument is commonly constructed out of a hollow wooden body, with four strings attached, which are normally tuned E, A, D, and G. This octave is the lowest four strings of a regular 6 string guitar, which is also the same tuning as an electric bass guitar. If you're not familiar with this instrument, just imagine if an acoustic guitar and a bass guitar made sweet love. This is the result:
Today we're releasing both "Acoustic Bass Minor" and "Acoustic Bass Major". You can find them both in the instruments toolbar, located on the righthand side of Roc, our music creator. With both instrument packs, you'll have the combination of 24 new bass tones to work with.
Launch Roc now!
