                                [Jazz Anthology Bass] is absolutely stunning.
As a professional [bass] player for 30+ years, I can testify that no other plugin comes even close to what [Authentic Soundware] has accomplished, in terms of realistic sounding double bass.

                                Authentic Soundware Jazz Drums are out of this world if you want THAT sound. I do and I absolutely love this library. Well thought out, reasonably priced, sounds great out of the box.
                    
                                
                                
                                    
                            
                        
                    
                
                    
                        
                            
                            
                                
                                Incredible library. This is the 50s/60s jazz drum sound in a can... I had a big chain of effects trying to get this sound with other libraries, and this one replaces all of that and sounds twice as good.
                    
                                
                                
                                    
                            
                        
                    
                
                    
                        
                            
                            
                                
                                It's a rare but interesting phenomena if things sound like you are right in front of them, and that's the case here.

                                It's crazy good!
                    
                                
                                
                                    
                            
                        
                    
                
            
          
    
                            Great sound, intuitive and easy to use, and just wholly inspiring.
                            [Jazz Anthology Bass] is absolutely stunning. As a professional [bass] player for 30+ years, I can testify that no other plugin comes even close to what [Authentic Soundware] has accomplished, in terms of realistic sounding double bass.
                            Finally, here’s an upright bass done by someone who knows how an upright bass should be done. And you did it very, very well. I can’t describe how pleased and grateful this makes me.
                            [Jazz Anthology Bass] is what I have been hoping and praying for, like, forever. Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for creating those wonderful instruments for those of us who are after exactly that kind of vibe and spirit and sound. Your dedication shows in every tiny aspect of them.
                            My jazz template just got an upgrade!
                            Incredible - you’ve captured lightning in a bottle yet again!
                            Incredible sound and articulations. This has to be the ultimate best bass, jazz or otherwise, on the planet!
                            Once again, Authentic Soundware NAILS it. Exactly the right stuff for the style of pop tunes from 30s - 60s... and current jazz, musical comedy and other iconic styles. And thoughtful layout and mapping for easy and fast workflow. Grateful this library exists. Essential. Oh yeah, and SIX mics!
                            Can't tell if it's real or vst. A+
