A world-class Alembic bass — endorsed by top players worldwide and described by EZbass lead R&D technician Magnus Melkersson as the most dynamic, expressive, and full-of-life bass he has ever played. Single-coil pickups with active hum-cancelling coil. Both bridge and neck pickups sampled separately — blend them seamlessly for two basses in one.

The Vintage Bass
Fender Jazz Bass — A Classic Since the 1960s
A classic Fender Jazz bass — used across every genre since the 1960s and still one of the world’s most iconic bass guitars. Fundamentally different harmonics from the Modern bass — mellow, warm, and perfect for jazz, blues, country, pop, rock, and metal. Hot-wired for the same bridge/neck pickup flexibility as the Modern bass.

How does the Drums & Keys auto-bassline feature work? ▾
The Drums & Keys feature in EZbass lets you drag any drum MIDI or keyboard MIDI file into the plugin and it automatically creates a matching bassline for it. EZbass analyzes the rhythmic and harmonic content of the MIDI and generates a bass performance that musically fits — giving you an instant starting point without needing to manually program anything. This works with MIDI from any source — including EZdrummer 3, Superior Drummer 3, EZkeys 2, or any other MIDI file from your DAW.
Does EZbass work with Logic Pro on macOS? ▾
Yes — EZbass works natively with Logic Pro on macOS as an Audio Unit (AU) plugin, as well as in VST3 and AAX formats. It supports Logic Pro 10 and above on macOS 10.13 or later, with native Apple Silicon support for M1, M2, M3, and M4 Macs. EZbass also integrates seamlessly with other Toontrack products — you can drag MIDI directly from EZdrummer 3 or EZkeys 2 into EZbass within Logic Pro to automatically generate matching basslines.
