    yes, it does.

    you just need to listen to more music that was made with real instruments.

    you can find the exact same sound in omnisphere / trillian "bass legends".

    It's an electric bass, as Black Bounty already has stated.
    Also check out IK Multimedia MODO BASS. It's awesome!

    y, there is some processing going on in your example, filter/EQ, delay, reverb, nothing too fancy really,
    experiment with those on a "clear" Instrument.

    reverb as insert fx (on the same channel) will wash out the initial transients and remove the "clearness"

    theres a good chance that some of the named example patches already have all that inside and just need some adjustments to fit your needs.

    i know that it is real instrument that's why i asked.

    it sounded me like some ethnic guitar types like Spanish (i know it depends on music scale & notes)

    i already found sth in omnisphere, thanks mate :) i played it with some ethnic music scale theory, i got the sound nearly

    This instrument called Baglama. It’s very popular in Middle eastern, Turkish, Iranian , Armenian music(in that region). You could also achieve that sound with an electric Saz(another similar instrument). Very beautiful sound.

    yes that's it , sure it can be an electro baglama. Electro Baglama/Saz is a Turkish instrument..

    Turkish singer and composer Orhan Gencebay played the first time electro saz ever :)

    There’s one kontakt library on the sister site you can’t find any better. It has both electric and regular Saz.

    Yes, that's it. You can also find another one made by Findasound.
     
  15. Saz? I never heard a saz that could play in a low register as is in the video. A traditional saz is never going to get that low. However, I did a quick search and came up with this, the bass saz which I had never heard. It sounds amazing.

    I know what you mean. Saz are high register instrument with very sharp distinguished high end. I've heard some electric saz/baglama with low end. I could be wrong but from the example the poster was asking about the closest and the first thing came to mind is a baglama. I could be wrong.

    I appreciate what you shared. That sounds amazing. I hope this instrument gets sampled.

    Check this out @asad12 and @superliquidsunshine

    Actually saz means instrument in Turkish

    Baglama is the name of the instrument so Baglama is a kind of saz.
