collapse expand iconDescription

Designed in partnership with Ned Steinberger and NS Design, the D'Addario NS Electric Traditional Bass D String can be used on electric instruments to bring out the best in them. This string is designed to enhance the expressive range of tone sought after by the most discerning players.

The D string features a stranded steel core and nickel winding. The Traditional Double Bass D String is constructed and tensioned similarly to an acoustic bass string for a warm tone and great bow response. The NS Electric Traditional Bass D String is designed for electric upright basses with standard playing lengths, but shorter overall lengths (no tailpiece).

All D'Addario strings are designed, engineered and manufactured in the USA to the most stringent quality controls in the industry.
