D'AddarioNS Electric Traditional Bass D String
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for NS-style electric upright bass setups, this D string combines a stranded steel core with nickel winding. Its construction and tension follow an acoustic-bass approach, giving the string a warm voice and responsive bow handling. The overall length is shorter because the intended instrument has no tailpiece, while the playing length suits standard electric upright bass dimensions.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Electric upright basses with a standard playing length and no tailpiece.
- Players seeking a warm D-string sound with responsive bow performance.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
