The thin body on the Martin 00CXAE Acoustic-Electric Guitar makes it easy to play. With 14 frets in the clear and a thin-line, cutaway body to give you access to the higher six, this guitar combines Martin's killer acoustic sound with electric guitar versatility. The onboard Classic 4 preamp and Sonicore pickup provide full, warm acoustic tone with minimal feedback while the jet-black finish sizzles in the limelight.

The Spectrasonics Trilogy - Total Bass Module is a programmable sample-based sound module plug-in that integrates a massive 3GB core library of hundreds of new bass sounds with a powerful interface for creating your own patches. Every patch in Trilogy has 2 individually tweakable layers. You can also immediately mix and match any of the layers in the core library together and edit each one independently. Imagine the power of combining the sound of a real Minimoog with a fretless bass, a Virus with a TB-303, or even adding a Juno sub-oscillator to an upright bass! With thousands of combinations, you'll never run out of options.ACOUSTIC BASS The highly detailed acoustic upright bass is one of the highlights of this instrument. Because of Trilogy's unique interface, you can get a wide variety of gorgeous tones from this bass. This is made possible because the interface has separate control of the Neumann U-47 Tube Microphone signal and the Direct Pickup signal, which was sampled through a vintage Neve 1083 Console. This stunning acoustic is chromatically sampled with multi-dynamic velocity switching. The hardest velocity in every bass patch in Trilogy brings in real bass glisses, similar in concept to the idea Spectrasonics pioneered on the Hans Zimmer Guitar libraries. An acoustic Martin dreadnought bass guitar is also available in the acoustic section-perfect for those "unplugged" sessions!Trilogy's innovative True Staccato technique lets you play repeated notes on the acoustic and electric basses in real time with a whole new level of realistic phrasing, and allows for repeated notes that sound completely natural, not like the dreaded "machine gun" sampler effect!ELECTRIC BASS The huge selection of electric basses are from new recording sessions, and features classic 4, 5, and 6 string models, performed in fingered, picked, muted, rock & roll, slapping, ballad, fretless, and R&B techniques through rare, custom-made tube preamps. Special variations are presented including harmonics, glisses, fuzz, trills, FX, and thousands of slides! Both modern and vintage "old school" electrics are available, providing a wide array of tones for different musical settings. All the patches are mapped the same way, so that one sequence will work with any bass you select.There are thousands of samples used in these instruments, mapped with multiple dynamics for amazing expression. You don't have to "assemble" bass parts with Trilogy, it's extremely playable as a highly expressive real-time instrument too!To complete the picture, every acoustic and electric bass in Trilogy has a special "Finger Noise" release layer with release triggering, that gives these basses amazing realism-perfectly simulating the fretboard response of the real bass. When a note is released, the Finger Noise layer triggers an appropriate noise sample from among hundreds of tiny fret noises, subtle string scrapes, squeeks, x-n
