With the bass, the Vienna Symphonic Library now offers another instrument that is used in jazz. Bernd Konzett, a recognized jazz bass player from the Austrian state of Vorarlberg, was engaged for the recordings.

After extensive recording tests, he strung the 4-string 3/4 bass with a scale length of 113 cm with thinner e and a strings and thicker d and g strings. A short time later, Bernd realized how painful it can be to record samples for the Vienna Symphonic Library. Compared to a gig lasting several hours in a jazz cellar, a recording session for glissandi is an ordeal that gives the musician downright burns on the fingertips. The strings themselves also reached such temperatures during the sessions that the smell of burned skin lingered in the Silent Stage.

In addition to staccato, portati and sustains with different vibrato strengths, the consistently plucked playing styles also include performances such as legati, the slow and fast glissandi and repeated notes already mentioned, but also special ghost note performances, which are unique in this form to date. Snaps, noises and various effects complete the bass sample set.
