Reel Big Bottom is a collection of live-recorded double bass loops, performed by a seasoned session musician to 1/2" and 1/4" tape to get that vintage vibe we love.

This pack was inspired by classic hip hop tracks, sampling upright bass grooves. Think talkin' all that jazz, don't sweat the technique, props over here, sure shot, one love, put it on, the choice is yours...

A lot of heavy tracks have used double bass sampled from classic jazz records. We went back to tape through an analogue signal path using various vintage and modern microphones and preamps to return to that iconic sound.

As with all British Music Library collections, these samples are 100% royalty-free to use as you wish. Super-versatile for many genres. The inspiration to be found is endless...
