It depends entirely on the specific GIG instrument. Normally, afaik, most
instrument authors map the samples to their true pitch. At least that is
true for all orchestra libraries I know of, you otherwise would have a lot
of "crazy" transposing to keep in mind. But I don't know if it's also true
for all bass libraries in general.
