EuroBass 2
Released in 2019, EuroBass 2 was the flagship virtual instrument which built Submission Audio’s reputation for attention to detail and tonal excellence.
Earning its stripes by being used on the DOOM: Eternal OST, you’ve likely heard EuroBass 2 on more records than you realize.
Renowned for its ability to effortlessly sit in the mix without overstating its presence, EuroBass 2 is one of our most user-friendly and versatile virtual instruments.
Ushering in our proprietary tempo-synced alternate picking algorithm, and loaded with tones created in beautiful harmony with Ampeg and Neural DSP gear, EuroBass 2 is suited to your music, whether you’re writing acoustic ballads or heavy metal.
With EuroBass 2, see why the Spector Euro 5 LX is considered a studio workhorse bass guitar.
Tones
Our design ethos behind EuroBass 2 is to immediately empower you with sounds that work whether you’re composing, demoing, pre-producing, or creating a release-ready mix. It’s packed with 3 versatile 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.
CLEAN: Powered by a legendary Ampeg SVP Classic preamp running into an Ampeg 8x10, this embodies the classic throaty Spector clean sound. Perfect for acoustic ballads, soft rock, or any purpose where you want the bass to simply hold its own, without interfering with your mix.
DISTORTION: Run through an array of Neural DSP processors running in parallel, the Distortion sound showcases the signature Spector snarl with a bit more bite. Though still rounded enough to work in lighter genres, this is a fantastic starting point for most energetic music.
Features
As we are an official Native Instruments partner, EuroBass 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.
The tuning range of EuroBass 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.
It features pick (plectrum) articulations, ghost notes, hammer ons, pull-offs, natural harmonics and slides.
EuroBass 2 was sampled with brand new steel 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 EuroBass 2 in string packets alone.
Included is our proprietary tempo-synced alternate picking algorithm, giving you utmost flexibility in choosing how your music is performed.
Additionally, we’ve included a pre-mixed stereo chorus to help widen the bass presence in the mix. This is a novel trick used in commercial mixes to glue the bass with the guitars.
Above all, EuroBass 2 offers you the joy of recording without being at the mercy of a bass player. It will always play the correct notes, on time, and never talk back to you or argue.

“Eurobass has been my go-to bass instrument for years now! It’s so rich. The low-end fundamentals are rock-solid and each note is full of lovely harmonics that all work together to create consistent grounding for any track. Totally love it!”

“EuroBass is now a normal part of my tracking process. It keeps my guitar players in tune, as well as helping me get my mix going before I’ve actually tracked bass.”
