The only downside here is that Kontakt is very CPU intensive. If you’re not a fan of the sound of Rickenbackers, you probably won’t dig it as much as a bassist who loves them.įor the price, I think is a very reasonable selection for producers looking for some solid basses. My overall thoughts on the Native Instruments Rickenbacker are that the plug-in is exceptional. You can really dial in something special here. The selling point in the sound is the ability to pick different amps, EQ’s, and compressions.

I’ve personally used this one quite a bit and it is a go-to for a lot of bands in their production if you don’t own a Rickenbacker bass guitar. When recording, Native Instruments sampled the sounds in order so they could reproduce the sounds in different timbres. The bass was recorded through a DI box to give maximum flexibility in the sound for the producer. You get a really crisp amp tone with this plug-in that sounds pretty realistic in all honesty. While the Rickenbacker sound isn’t for every bassist, this plug-in has been approved by Rickenbacker themselves.

The Native Instruments Rickenbacker is very well known in the production industry.
