FunkBass is a free sample-based virtual instrument plugin for DAWs and other plugin host software running on Windows and macOS.
FunkBass was designed as a fast & light but solid tool to create simple bass lines in musical genres such as Funk, Pop, Soul, RnB, EDM, and more.
If you are looking for a virtual bass with tons of techniques, articulations, nuances, and effects, FunkBass is not for you – there are already dozens of such commercial plugins on the market. Our plugin is for those who prefer a simplified approach to “real” virtual bass and at the same time are aware that a virtual bass will never sound like a physical one.
The 3.0 update brings, in addition to a new GUI and features, a collection of synth basses sampled from analog gear.
Inside you will find 21 bass presets, a rich set of electric bass emulations and synth basses crafted for those funky basslines and riffs.
The GUI is easy to use and comes with modules such as distortion with cabinet emulation, LFO modulation, mode selector, filter cutoff, and global volume and pan.
FunkBass is a VST/VST3 plugin for Windows and VST/VST3/AU plugin for macOS.

I can’t get the FREE Funk Bass to download for windows without entering a dollar amount. How do I get the FREE version that you advertise?
I finally got the files to download. Now I need to know how to get an app that will load your funkbass interface. Thanks
Hi! You need a DAW (digital audio workstation) or another software app that loads plugins. For example, you can try the free version of FL Studio or the free LMMS.
zero is a number，is not it？>_<
how do i use this? i have ableton but everytime i download a zip file i just deleate it and look for a different one because i never new how to unzip a zip file before
Hey! Extract the .zip file using WinRar or 7Zip, then move the extracted folder at C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins (if you downloaded the VST version) or C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 (if is VST3 version). Then close/reopen Ableton and it should automatically scan for newly added plugins.
Hi, can i use this plugin for ghost production? A customer can require all the stems and among them there will be a bass part that is created by your this plugin
Hi, of course you can. Is 100% royalty-free.
obrigado 🙂
Cheers!
Please
VST Win*64 please give me.
We do agree, that it’s not free of charge?
yo im real people in 2022 just want to ask is this vst really really free? cause i don’t have money to buy
donde esta el boton de descarga ?
if you can get ahold of a kawai k4, or if you know someone with a kawai k4, check out the preset “funk bass”
Thank you so much
Why was version 1 removed? What if someone used it in their project and lost it? Version 2 is unfortunately incompatible with 1, so I think it would be best to provide links to older versions if compatibility with the previous one is broken.
I’m also not sure if some features have been removed? Or maybe some are just worded and placed differently due to the new GUI.
But overall this VST is freaking awesome!! Enough options as well as controls and what is also very important MIDI parameters such as velocity work!
And all this for free, just thank you very much.
Honestly the new GUI is freaking ugly compared to the first one..
Please, provide legacy downloads if the GUI has changed and when the compatibility was broken with the previous version(s)..
Maybe also add options to switch between GUIs instead of replacing.
great!
This a great idea cant believe this is the first dedicated funk bass vst i’ve seen sounds great too, thanks!
MUCHAS GRACIAS <3
