Have access to the real thing this is modeled/sampled.  Demo sounds pretty good for those that don't have the access or need the editing functions that Midi can provide.

For the demo songs, oddly enough the bass is a little low in the mix, IMO.

They definitely wanted to beat the OTS Jaco update.   As per Greg at OTS:

At the moment I have both Evolution Jaco (Iconic Bass Jaco) and Evolution Rick Bass working in the Evolution bass engine, but there's still more work to do, specifically with adding the fretless capabilities for the Jaco bass, which will also pave the way for updating CoreBass Pear. My current plan with Cherry Electric Bass is to resample the original bass for separate strings and individual pickup signals so that it's on the same page with what we're doing with the current Evolution basses.

Right now I'm trying to finish a
couple other libraries we're working on right now before working more on those updates, though. We have one really large project in particular that I need to finish before trying to work on more things at the same time. It's been in development since 2015 and has around 80,000 samples...

So the new OTS Jaco is going to be great.  The Ample one is here today, but the OTS may be in next year's Group Buy.

Is anyone else finding the keyswitches a bit erratic. I am trying to program slides on some notes.  I can sometimes get it to work, but other times when I playback exactly the same MIDI the slides do not trigger. 

I think a long hard read of the instructions may be needed to get my head around how keyswitches work and how they are affected by velocity but I cant see why playing the same data gets differing results.
