NS Design WAV4c Series 4-String Upright Electric Double Bass - Transparent Red

Description: The NS Design WAV4c 4-String Upright Electric Double Bass is the perfect choice for musicians seeking their first electric upright bass. Offering a seamless blend of traditional acoustic tone and modern design, this instrument provides exceptional performance and affordability. Easy to transport, it captures the essence of an acoustic bass while delivering a wide range of new sonic possibilities.

The patented NS Polar Pickup System ensures a natural, resonant bass tone without the feedback or wolf tones typically encountered in acoustic instruments.

This opens up a world of expressive potential for players.
