D. Smolken was kind enough to allow me to create a Kontakt 5 instrument using his excellent double bass samples. You can find the samples along with SFZ mappings and lots of info and demos at http://www.drealm.info/sfz/DSmolken/ .

OK here is slightly revamped version. The up and down Acro samples have been round-robined rather than keyswitched which makes more sense and adds a bit to the sound.

It has 5 keyswitches:
F4 is Arco (Bowed) Up, G4 is Arco (Bowed) down, F#4 Arco Effects such as creaks, groans and harmonics (he really sampled this bass)
A4 is Pizzicato (Plucked) with four round robins. G#4 is the Pizzicato Effects.
