Where's the Jazzy Acoustic Bass Gone in 4.5.1?
The 'Change Instrument' text command used to offer a nice plucked jazz acoustic bass sound. Now the Acoustic Bass via Change Instrument is the standard contrabass sound, and it appears the idea is we add 'Pizz' to the contrabass patch.
Unfortunately, it's quite a different sound. It doesn't have the sustain that the 'Acoustic Bass' used to have.
Is it somewhere else, or has someone tried to fix something that wasn't broken?
Please give us the plucked jazzy acoustic bass back!

Have you tried typing "Acoustic bass" into the search box of the 'Select Instrument' dialog?
Does this score have the acoustic bass you are looking for?

Thanks for the reply. It's working now, changing from arco Contrabass to plucked Acoustic bass on the same staff.
I reset the start of the bass stave as Muse Sounds Contrabass playing arco by default, then inserted a Change Instr. set to Acoustic Bass and it works now.
Thanks again.
