Why are there no slap and pop articulations for the Vintage Bass? My favorite slap bass tone is a Vintage Fender Jazz and I’m wondering if there are any plans to add slap/pop articulations for the Vintage Bass in the future?
Most likely not. I doubt they would add them retroactively to the library. They may release future expansion packs with pop/slaps in the future though.

Maybe one day they’ll add them. Slap Bass works amazingly well on all the Bass Guitars & even the Upright Bass in EZBass. The Acoustic Bass can even be played w/ a Pick (Virtually all the Bass Guitars even the Upright Bass) & the Upright works great w/ a Bow.
TBH, I don’t think they will update the existing ones, because once the session is recorded, it’s over, and replicating the exact same conditions for recording additional notes would be a huge effort. I’m also grieving a bit over the fact that some of these EBXes are missing articulations. I think all future releases should include slaps, vibratos, pick/finger, etc. ALL OF THEM basically, to keep this instrument consistent. Also, for the ability to swap the sound of the bass in a song without losing all the articulations, as it is now.
Having extra bow notes in Upright would be a super bonus. That’s quite common to play by mixing finger style and bowing. Maybe one day they will record a brand new upright bass with all of the bells and whistles 🙂

Totally agree! Perhaps there will be a Superior Bass?
I actually hope they won’t release separate software for which we would need to pay again lol. I would rather count on the future development of EZbass to reach a stage where it is “truly superior” compared to the competition.
Yes I hope this aswell but I think it is unlikely. I will probably have to go back to using my other libraries that come with multiple articulations such as my Orange Tree and IK Modo libraries. I think the Toontrack libraries have a lot of potential but many of the libraries have limited articulations which stop me from using for bass tracks that require these different articulations within a piece.
