What Toontrack EBX The Sixties Is For
EBX The Sixties is a sound library for Toontrack EZbass designed to provide you with a 60s-style electric bass, ideal whenever you want an "old school" foundation in a mix. It suits both full pop arrangements and more understated productions (acoustic, ballads, soul, vintage rock), delivering a sonic signature made of warm low mids, controlled lows, and a natural presence that cuts through the track without harshness.
Thanks to the two playing approaches (fingerstyle and muted pick), you can switch from a round, soft bass to a snappier, more defined sound-perfect for enhancing groove and rhythmic movement while maintaining a period-appropriate vibe. It's a relevant choice for composing, programming, and finalizing bass lines consistent with the sixties aesthetic, without multiplying complex processing.
Main Features
A carefully sampled instrument for instant realism
This extension provides a carefully recorded electric bass, with the iconic "violin" look of the early 1960s. The recordings aim to deliver a dense and organic sound, with that famous muted and earthy character that shaped much of the popular music production of the time. The result fits naturally into pop, rock, and acoustic arrangements while retaining a strong identity.
Two playing styles, two characters
Fingerstyle playing favors roundness, softness, and enveloping lows. Muted pick playing provides a more pronounced attack and a snappier articulation, ideal for more rhythmic patterns and lines that need to stand out more. These two captures offer a wide tonal palette: from traditionally soft to brighter and sharper sounds.
Production-oriented presets and MIDI library
To speed up your workflow, EBX The Sixties includes a wide selection of presets focused on the 60s sonic DNA, allowing you to quickly find a tone coherent with your track. The library also features a large internal MIDI library offering bass patterns and lines designed to fit the instrument and the "sixties" aesthetic. This is particularly useful for starting an idea, varying a groove, or quickly obtaining a solid foundation before refining the arrangement.
