D'AddarioNS Electric Contemporary High C String

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The NS Electric Contemporary High C is an electric-upright-bass string with a steel core and nickel winding. It is intended for instruments with standard playing lengths but a shorter overall string length and no tailpiece. Compared with the Traditional double-bass High C, it delivers a brighter sound at lower tension. That makes the instrument’s string-length layout the essential fit point before installation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Electric upright basses with standard playing lengths, shorter overall string lengths, and no tailpiece.
- Players seeking the brighter, lower-tension alternative to the Traditional double-bass High C string.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Electric upright basses that use a tailpiece.
- Instruments that do not have the specified standard playing length and shorter overall string length.
