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. 🙁

I understand now why we can’t select a string. It’s because they have sampled only one fret for each note like a piano. So even if we could select the string, the tone should be exactly the same. So for the first string, only the first 4 frets are available, 7 frets for the 2nd string, 7 frets for the 3rd, 11 frets for the 4th and 5th string + the open strings and they added 2 notes below the low B. So to be efficient, they should have to double (and even more because there’s samples for different fingers) the quantity of samples so I don’t think it’s going to happen. So even if it covers 3 octaves and a half like all bass plugins, there’s 45 differents “sounds or tones” for 45 notes  instead of 84 tones for 41 notes when all the frets are sampled on a 4 strings bass. They prefered to sample the notes played with different fingers instead.  Other than that, the plugin is the best i’ve used for bass!!

Stompboxpedal you are totally right. This is  a huge mistake to be unable to select a string.
