D'AddarioNS Electric Contempoary Bass D String
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A Contemporary D-string replacement intended for electric upright basses with standard playing lengths and a shorter overall length without a tailpiece. The string uses a steel core and nickel winding. Its tension is lower than the Traditional double bass D string, making that comparison a useful part of selecting between the two D-string designs. Confirm the instrument’s length arrangement before ordering, since the no-tailpiece format is central to its intended application.
