Double Bass
Also known as a string bass, upright or standup bass, or an acoustic bass, the double bass originated as a classical musical instrument, but now plays a seminal role in jazz, rockabilly, country (especially bluegrass), and other types of modern music. This integral string instrument is extremely versatile, since it can be plucked or bowed. With the addition of electric versions, it’s viability is even greater.
Types of basses
Electric Basses: NS Series
Originally launched in the late 1970's by Ned Steinberger, these instruments introduced radical new concepts in electric bass guitars. Currently, the NS Series of electric string basses are virtual musical chameleons, since they can be played sitting down (with different stands, or a traditional end-pin) as well as standing up (with a strap).
Constructed with high-quality materials and workmanship, including a sophisticated electronic system and fully adjustable bridge and truss rod, NS Basses can be easily configured to fit any player or musical style. And because of their solid construction, they travel extremely well.
