NS DesignNXTa Active Series 5-String Omni Bass E-C Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for bass guitarists adding upright-bass character and expression to their working setup, the five-string NXTa Omni Bass uses a familiar 34-inch scale. Its battery-free active circuit charges from AC power in 60 seconds for up to 16 hours, then connects directly to low- or high-impedance equipment without a direct box. For a different rig, passive operation is available with a direct box or a high-impedance amplifier input. The Black instrument is made in the Czech Republic.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bass players who want upright-bass expression while retaining a familiar 34-inch bass-guitar scale.
- Performance setups requiring direct connection to either low- or high-impedance equipment.
- Long-cable rigs where the instrument is designed to retain clear, strong note fundamentals.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Passive setups without either a direct box or an amplifier with a high-impedance input.
