The bass guitars were recorded with fingered style playing technique except the ones stated as "picked". No slapping technique was used. The focus in this library is the electric bass guitar as the tonal support in the low end of a music production. Its primary purpose is to fit well in a mix.
Solo performances are possible, especially with the fretless bass but this is not the main goal with this library.
