Included Tones

  • DI

    Directly from the instrument, captured with meticulous attention to detail, using the finest recording gear available. You're the sculptor and this is your clay. The sky is the limit, and this tone can be whatever you desire.

  • FIRST BASS: LOW GAIN

    A throwback to the popular P-bass tones of the 90s and 00s. Lightly driven to bring out articulation, fret clank and string noise. Sits beautifully among rhythm guitars.

  • TEEN FUZZ: HIGH GAIN

    Something a little more edgy. High-end analogue distortion, dialed up for a grimy, in-your-face fuzz sound that will fit right into even the densest wall of guitars.

Fit in my mix perfectly!

My brother sent me a song he was working on and right away I knew Punk Bass was going to fit perfectly. I literally did zero processing and it added exactly what his song needed. He loved the results. Perfect for when a Dingwall will not do.

Perfect P-bass DI

This plug-in has saved my Hyde in quite a few tracks where the bass wasn’t tracked very well. I have only good things to say about punk bass, Especially for the price!

Best Virtual P-Bass on the market BUT

BUT I think SubMission has now built enough of a virtual bass empire to do a truBass level treatment on a P-Bass, and that would be a 5/5 stars and I think I would sell my studio workhorse as a result
