The WAV Series: Easy Access to the NS Design Universe
Founded in 1990 by Ned Steinberger, NS Design develops electric instruments that combine innovation and the heritage of classical instruments. The WAV series embodies this philosophy with a streamlined approach: an elegant electric double bass designed to explore new playing contexts without compromising on build quality and musical coherence.
For Which Musician and Styles?
This electric double bass is aimed at beginner to intermediate double bass players who want to switch to electric, as well as experienced musicians seeking a practical, lightweight, and reliable instrument for rehearsals, stage, and travel. It naturally fits in jazz, contemporary music, pop, film music, and amplified settings, while remaining relevant for bowed work thanks to its dedicated pickup system.
Sound
The core of this NS Design's tonal character lies in its Polar System piezo pickup, capable of analyzing the direction of string vibrations to optimize response, especially to the bow. The result is a precise signal with good attack definition and a consistent output across the register. The passive electronics favor a direct and musical approach: a volume and a note control (treble attenuation) to adjust brightness without complicating the audio chain. Together, they provide an ideal foundation for shaping the sound via a preamp, DI box, or suitable amplifier.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
This double bass is delivered with a gig bag and a tripod stand, covering the essentials for transport and stability. For other items (strings, bow, preamp, additional support), compatibility depends on preferences regarding gauge, setup, and amplification, so it is recommended to choose on a case-by-case basis.
