Mix-ready bass instrument for modern metal
Nuclear Bass II
Each purchase of Nuclear Bass II includes 2 device activations. These are for non-simultaneous use by a single user (e.g. desktop and laptop).
Nuclear Bass II
Nuclear Bass II gives you a tight, mix-ready bass that stays controlled and articulate in dense, aggressive mixes.
If the goal is precision and forward presence, this is the solution.
Nuclear Bass II is the most forward and controlled option in our Bass II trilogy.
It’s built for sessions where the bass needs to stay tight, articulate, and consistently present under dense guitars.
Load it, lock it in, and keep moving.
The Sound
Nuclear Bass II is based on the sound of a Dingwall NG2 5-string. It’s tuned for precision and attack.
✓ Tight low-end response
✓ Focused upper-mid presence
✓ Fast, controlled transient profile
It stays defined under fast picking, dense arrangements, and heavily processed guitars.
Where other basses fill space, this one cuts through it.
Where it fits
Nuclear works when the bass needs to stay defined under pressure.
✓ Fast, technical material
✓ Dense, aggressive guitar tones
✓ Mixes where clarity and attack take priority over weight
It’s designed to stay tight and readable, even when everything else is competing for space.
The Engine
Fixed, mix-oriented signal path
Sine, DI, Clean, Sub & Grit
Each channel is already shaped to behave in a modern mix.
You can blend, route, and process them independently, or treat it as a single, cohesive instrument.
If you want to customise it, you can. If you don’t, it’s already there.
The idea is simple: the layers you’d usually build are already there, working together.
You can rebalance everything quickly, or leave it as-is.
Aligned and controlled
Shaped to translate without additional distortion chains
Carries the mid detail without getting harsh
Controls
Ducker - Manages low-end interaction with the kick by dynamically controlling the Sub and Sine layers.
Humanize - Applies controlled timing variation to note on/off positions. Movement is repeatable on playback, while preserving tight passages, legato phrasing, and overall timing.
Alternate Picking (Auto) - Automatically alternates stroke direction on repeated notes, reducing the need to manually program picking patterns.
Articulation & behaviour
The performance side is focused, not excessive.
✓ Upstrokes / downstrokes / alternate picking
✓ Three downward slide speeds
✓ Two dead notes
Enough variation to feel intentional, without turning into programming overhead.
Included Presets
Tones from world-renowned producers and mixers
These are practical starting points taken from real workflows.
