D'AddarioNS Electric Traditional Bass E String
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For the E position on a compatible electric upright bass, the NS Electric Traditional Bass E string uses a stranded steel core and nickel winding. It is built and tensioned in a manner similar to an acoustic bass string, with the stated aim of warm tone and strong bow response. Its fit is specifically for electric upright basses that retain standard playing lengths while using a shorter overall string length and no tailpiece.
Strong match

- Players seeking the Traditional E string's acoustic-bass-like construction and tensioning
