All MIDI, three types of Basses, 1998 using Powertracks from PGMusic (Click to Listen)

Electric Bass into Acoustic Bass, to Slap Bass.

Oldest All MIDI clip I could dig outta the archives here.

Every sound on it is MIDI, using the wonderful old Soundblaster Live! card and Soundfont samples, the first month in '98 when that card came out.

There are plenty of real sounding MIDI Acoustic Bass patches around these days. Plenty of Hardware Synths, too, like the Ketron SD2, sold on this website and elsewhere, that are even better sounding because they employ newer technology.
