Guitar rig pro upgrade not working (Komplete Now as base product)
Hi all, wondered if someone might be able to help. I have which ever version of guitar rig comes with Komplete now. in my native access it says that it is guitar rig 7 player. there's only 2 amps on it and no bass amps so I bought the upgrade to guitar rig 7 pro from andertons. They emailed me a code but when I type the code in, it says your account is missing the base product for this serial. I presume this means I need guitar rig 7 LE? I bought pro because I looked on the website to find out which one comes with Komplete now and it says guitar rig LE. Do I need to return this and get a different upgrade? if so, which one do I need to get the full version?
cheers

I think that the problem with Komplete Now is that you do not own the product you only rent it. So I doubt that you can upgrade a base product that you don't own, You would either have to buy the full GR product or buy a product that gave you the version needed as base (GR 7 LE ?) for the upgrade to work .
As for Komplete Now then I personally have zero interest in such a rent product but I have checked and it appears as it does indeed only come with GR LE.
The best N.I. software investment to do is buying the Komplete Standard bundle which will give you a lot of apps and expansions. However then version 14 only comes with GR 6 Pro not 7, so if you want version 7 in a bundle you will have to wait for Komplete 15. If N.I. do not upgrade the Komplete 14 bundles to version 15 before the summer sale then you maybe can get the bundle at discounted price during the sale but I doubt if there will be any discount on buying Komplete 15 immediately when that is published !
Also , always check specifications and requirements prior to buying anything !

P.S.
My recommending a Komplete bundle rather than Komplete Now stands but I forgot to inform you of this
Quote Simon_NI , Chief Product Officer, (Ref. part : "Expanding what we offer through subscription" ) : Based on customer feedback, we’re working on an expanded version of Komplete Now, NI’s popular subscription service, to include everything you need to produce music – a wide range of instruments and sounds, inspiring creative effects, and powerful mixing and mastering tools, including products from Brainworx and iZotope, not just Native Instruments.

I see. That sounds great. Trouble with the complete bundles is that they are all so expensive. I'll probably be able to save for one some day but I'll probably stick to the komplete now for the moment. I just wanted the bass amps. Are there any other bass amp sims you could recommend?

If you don't have the money then wait for a sale and then buy the Komplete Standard bundle or the full GR .
Else then take a look at .e.g. the free AmpliTube 5 Custom Shop (also see e.g. SampleTank 4 Custom Shop picture) and TONEX CS . Maybe there is not much but at least it is free.
Also then email harvesters are offering e.g. Ampeg 410 HLF Impulse Response or there are the SHB-1 on Plugins4Free !
Try you luck on Google here or here or take a look at this article ! : 13+ Best Free Bass Amp VST/AU Plugins that sound Great!
