Detail 01
Piezo pickup pairing
A piezo reads string vibration through the bridge, so string mass and core directly shape the amplified tone.

D'AddarioNS610 NS Electric Traditional Bass Strings
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A full set of electric upright bass strings from D'Addario's NS Traditional line. For players running an NS-style electric upright with a piezo pickup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Electric upright players needing a complete set change
- Piezo-equipped uprights where string output consistency matters
- Players who want a matched set rather than mixed singles
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Acoustic double bass — these are voiced for a pickup
- Bass guitar players; this is upright scale, not a guitar set
- Anyone replacing just one broken string
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Traditional voicing
Aimed at a conventional upright sound through the pickup rather than a modern hi-fi or synthetic character.
Detail 03
Full set, four strings
All four change at once, which keeps tension balanced across the bridge and neck.
Detail 04
$153 for the set
Upright bass strings are long and heavy; the price reflects material, not a premium tier. Budget for infrequent changes.
Detail 05
Electric upright scale length
Sized for EUB scale. A regular bass guitar or a full acoustic double bass won't take these correctly.

Know before you order
- 01Strings only — no tools, bridge adjusters, or setup hardware included

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit an acoustic double bass?
They're built for electric upright. Scale length and voicing are matched to an EUB with a pickup, not an acoustic body.
02Can I use these on a bass guitar?
No. These are upright bass strings — the scale and construction are entirely different.
03Is this a full set?
Yes, four strings.
04Why do these cost more than guitar strings?
Upright bass strings are far longer and heavier, using much more material per string. That's the cost, not a premium designation.
