DjinnBass 2
As we launched the original DjinnBass in 2020, we could never have guessed how much of a smash hit it would become.
The response was immense and immediate - DjinnBass was exactly what you wanted.
DjinnBass 2 takes the fundaments which made the original such a success, and blows them up to a completely new level - making DjinnBass 2 the unquestioned king of extreme progressive virtual bass.
We sampled one of Dingwall’s own final factory stock NG-2 models, in the most aggressive pickup configuration possible - resulting in a virtual bass that utterly excels at extremely downtuned music.
Powered by our next generation truBass technology, and dual-sampled with both pick and fingers, DjinnBass 2 is like having two bass libraries in one.
Ladies and djentlemen, we are proud to present: DjinnBass 2.
Tones
Our design ethos behind DjinnBass 2 is to get you the most crushing bass tones possible, without needing to mess around for clarity at extremely low tunings. As a result, we’ve packed DjinnBass 2 with 3 extremely potent tones:
DI: The raw sound of the instrument, captured directly via high end, studio-grade recording hardware. Process as you would any other bass - using your favourite plugins, pedals or amps. This allows ultimate flexibility; mix the bass on your own terms.
GRIT: Was developed to be an extremely versatile starting point for you to tailor DjinnBass 2 to your music. It can work from jazz fusion through to thall.
DIST: Imagine GRIT but extra. DIST includes an additional amp stage for when you want to unleash complete annihilation upon your music. The midrange gains additional texture for that unmistakable guttural sound.
Features
DjinnBass 2 is a meticulously-sampled virtual model of the Dingwall NG-2 bass, powered by MIDI.
The tuning range
The tuning range of DjinnBass 2 is C0 up to D4. It’s been tuned perfectly across the entire note range, so it can act as a tuning reference whenever you’re recording guitars.
The DOOM button
Intentionally shrinks the round robin, giving you the most powerful, direct samples for reduced realism and greater consistency - for those times where variance is undesirable.
Humanize
The Humanization control injects natural variance into the playback, for adjustable realism.
The Position control is a convenient way to select where on the virtual fretboard you’d like the performance to take place.
For absolute control, our Force String articulation can select exactly which string each note is performed on, giving you the ability to tonally match your guitar riffs 1 to 1.
Use the Configuration menu to rebind keyswitches, set the tuning of the bass, and adjust the pitch bend range for ultimate customization to your personal workflow.
Native Instruments - Kontakt
As an official Native Instruments partner, DjinnBass 2 runs in the industry standard free Kontakt Player, meaning you don’t have to worry about any additional hidden costs.Kontakt is the most widely used and widely compatible sampler in the industry, meaning there is a robust team of professionals available to make it work perfectly for you.
truBass Technology
Based on our next generation truBass technology, DjinnBass 2 features a ridiculously robust collection of articulations, including: Alternate Picking, Finger Picking, Ghost Notes, Slap Bass, Natural Harmonics, Hammer On/Pull Off, Tapping, truSlides and Palm Mutes.
Multi-Sampling
DjinnBass 2 is our only dual-sampled virtual instrument. Allowing you to switch between pick and fingers on a whim, the tonal flexibility is like having two bass libraries in one.
The entire fretboard of the instrument is multi-sampled so that your virtual riffs sound exactly as intended. Ie. Playing an open D string sounds vastly different to playing that same D note on the B-string.
truSlides
Our truSlide algorithm can slide from any note on the virtual fretboard, to any other note, at whatever speed or velocity curve you desire, to perfectly match the slides of your real guitars.
Intelligent Alternate Picking
Our proprietary tempo-synced alternate picking algorithm has a robust round robin that never sounds like samples are repeating, no matter the speed of your music.
Packet fresh’ tone
DjinnBass 2 was sampled with brand new Dingwall nickelwound strings, meaning that you always get that lovely ‘packet fresh’ tone, with no wear down. The average professional bass recording session often costs several times the price of DjinnBass 2 in string packets alone.

Testimonials
Mark Holcomb
Periphery
“DjinnBass has become a staple of my home recording process. I'm quite spoiled when it comes to bass guitar on Periphery records, given Nolly's awesome bass tone, and DjinnBass is the only bass software I've encountered that comes close to replicating that grindy, snarling quality that meshes so well with the guitar tones we typically go for.”
Jason Richardson
All That Remains
“I was WAY more impressed with this instrument than I thought I would be! This bass is my new go to/default for when I'm writing and working on new ideas now. The low end is insanely stable and the attention to detail you're able to automate is very intuitive! My new favorite bass player lol 🔥”
Sheldon Dingwall
Dingwall Bass Guitars
“Jacob Umansky has been a top Dingwall artist for several years now. His tone is textbook perfect. His technique and composition skills are off the charts! Jacob and the team at submission audio truly captured his sound and the essence of the Z3x flawlessly with this plug-in.”

I have to say I was skeptical about how realistic this plugin would be as someone who always preferred getting tones out of his hands. However, as my dental school schedule piles up, I still feel the need to work out creative ideas. Man does Djinnbass 2 bring the ruckus. This thing is heavy .... REALLY heavy. That honestly goes without saying. Even the preposterously low C# sounds clear and articulate, especially when EQ'd properly. It's the other little nuances like humanization, especially during slap and pop styles. I am very impressed. It's honestly getting me to consider selling my bass (I am a broke dental student).
After loading it up and just using the internal processing no outside processingbi was able to get the heaviest, mix ready tone. Love this library! Love submission audio!
Having started making Music during the 90s, I've been pretty hesitant about using VSTs instead of real instruments (specially when talking about guitars & basses), but technology has come a LONG way. I came across Submission Audio's Virtual Basses while navigating the web and, after much thought, decided to give it a try. I was currently producing a Nu-Metal type song for a client and DjinnBass 2 looked like a good candidate for the job. Boy was I impressed. Not only did it get the job done, but also excelled at it. This VST sounds huge and crisp plus programming it was a breeze; I'm now tempted to get a couple more of Submission Audio's Virtual Basses (probably all of them). As a guitar player, I'm a decent bass player, but I also wear all the other caps in my studio so I need to manage my time and if there are tools available that help me achieve this, I welcome them with open arms. Never thought I'd say this, but I'm seriously thinking about selling my Bass and sticking to Submission Audio. Time is money and DjinnBass 2 saved me a lot of it.
