    I would imagine it's an actual bass guitar considering the other guys are playing real instruments. Most likely a session player.

    Scarbee or Trillian can produce good results with bass guitars.

    Prominy SR5 is my fav for kontakt. But they do have lots of Scarbee libraries of real bass guitars and amps you can tune to your liking.

    Scarbee Rickenbacker library was the most editable to me, of the ones I tried.

    Scarbee Bass libraries are the ones you want. Black Bass, Pre Bass ect. Trillian is great too

    Scarbee actually does have fingered bass libraries. Mm-bass, Jay-bass, and maybe a few others that allow you to choose between picked, fingered or slapped. As soon as I heard live bass scarbee immediately came to mind, didn't take that into consideration. Nice catch.

    Fingered Bass it is.

    Maybe it's just me, but fuck libraries. Plug that fat Fender Precision bass in and play some sustained long ballad-notes and imagine some soft singing spaniards (or italians) standing behind you. While playing, close your eyes and look like you are getting your hairy legs plucked with a tweezer by a beautiful woman.
    :D

    Use a compressor.

    Youtube is full of tutorials.

    You seem very new to music production, so get the basics down first.
    Make your own synth sounds and bass. They will be rubbish at first (we've all been there) but you'll soon get the hang of it.
    Don't think Kontakt libraries are the answer to getting a good sounding tunes.

    Good luck

    As far as I know, most of the Scarbee bass libraries are only fingered, except for the new Rickenbacker. Functionality wise, Pre-bass is superior to Jay-bass which is older. Rick should be superior, don't have it though nor do I have Trillian. I still use Jaybass because I like its tone better than Pre-Bass's.

    In terms of bass in Kontakt you can choose between Scarbee:

    Black Bass (fingered MusicMan bass)
    Jay Bass (fingered (3 PU positions) and slapped Celinder bass)
    Pre Bass (fingered Fender Precision)
    Rickenbacker (picked (3 PU positions) Rickenbacker)

    Orange Tree Samples:

    Evolution Electric Bass - Rick (only fingered for now)
    Iconic Bass Iaco (If you don't know Iaco you don't deserve to know anything about basses :) )
    Cherry Electric Bass (All articulations possible in a bass)

    And Prominy:

    SR5 Rock Bass (picked MusicMan StingRay 5, super huge RAM/Hard Drive/CPU eating library)

    These should be all the basses available for Kontakt. It really depends on what you want in terms of sound so it's hard to choose the best.
    Regarding compressors if you have Sonar x2 you should have the wonderful softube compressor stuff that comes with this DAW. I find hard to believe you need something else outside of their FX masterpieces. :wink:

    There is actually no suggestion to be made because it's unlicensed so you cannot load it through the library tab. :wink:

    There are a few other notable libs:

    ImpactSoundworks Shreddage bass (Picked - Rock/Metal tone)
    Pettinhouse DirectBass (I think it is fingered, really awesome tone that cuts through the mix but the RRs and articulations are lacking).

    Orange Tree Samples' Cherry bass sounds like the dream library but sadly it doesn't produce a very convincing sound, same as their electric guitar.

    Forgot about those. :P
    The problem with the mentioned OTS bass and guitar (they belong to older stuff) is the presence of few dynamics samples. However in a context they still blend well and this problem is less noticeable. As entry level stuff they're pretty good. For solo or exposed part maybe you want to check something more recent. :wink:

    Totally agree. OTS/Greg=amazing, I use Orange Tree Passion Flute and the level of realism and soul in that instrument is unmatched.

    Then to keep the sound of the bass, that compressor use for the sustain?

    Which compressor can use so that the low do not diminish his sound, but it follow sounding, as well as it is in the video?

    ale2013: use a bass amp instead of a compressor (which is usually how a bass guitar is played). It will amplify and sustain/compress the bass sound and aside from a bit of EQ you won't need anything else.
