Can you not program which string a note will be played on? I can’t find anything in the manual regarding this. Certainly there must be a way to do this???
You’re totally right. It’s because Toontrack decided to sample (for a 5 strings bass) only around 39 frets instead of 105 to get all the possible variation in the sound. 🙁

Yeah, this bothers me. I haven’t bought any EBX expansions so far because of this (and the fact that they haven’t sampled a vintage bass with flatwounds), but a more deeply sampled bass from Toontrack would be an instant buy for me.
Same here. I was flabbergasted that there was no forced string option. Some of the EBX’s do sound really good and I would love to have them but I have not purchased any because of this. And even saying that, I was still REALLY excited about the Rickenbacker EBX. Then, they go and decide not to implement “Rick ‘O Sound” which made me bypass that one as well.
Cubase Pro, Korg Kronos, M-50, Hammond XK-1c, Toontrack SD3, EZBass w/lots of expansions, many VSL Vi's, Shreddage 3 everything, and shit-tons of FX plugins.

I’m bothered by this, yes. I haven’t bought any EBX expansions yet because of this (and because they haven’t sampled a vintage bass with flatwounds), but if Toontrack made a bass with better samples, I’d buy it right away.

Pretty much, It’s all up to personal preference. I’ve been through a few brands but settled nicely with Ernie Ball Coated because they just felt right for me.
Please tell me you wrote that on the 1st of April… I gave up MODO Bass (which also obviously has ALL the notes) to start using EZbass, and I have some projects I will be working on that require notes played on upper frets 🙁
Toontrack, please start recording all new EBX expansions with ALL the notes and allow the choice of strings…
