A real double bass, plucked.
Every note is a recording of a real upright double bass played pizzicato, plucked with the fingers, from the low E string up past the G two and a half octaves higher. Each pluck was measured and tuned to the exact pitch.

Walks better with a MIDI keyboard.
On a velocity-sensitive MIDI keyboard, a light touch gives a soft, round thump and a firm one a fuller pluck, so a walking bass line breathes. Lift the key and the string is damped, the way a bassist's hand stops it.
Free, and nothing to install.
No plugin, no sample library and no account. Play a jazz line or a rockabilly groove, record it, and keep the WAV, which is made on your own device.
