NS Design NXTa 4

About the NS Design NXTa 4

The NXT series applies the same fundamental ergonomic body design principles Ned Steinberger established across NS Design's range, but with a simpler feature set and construction than the flagship WAV models - a genuine step down in price without abandoning the core minimalist design and piezo amplification approach that defines the brand. This makes NS Design's ergonomic upright bass concept accessible to players who aren't ready for the WAV series's premium price point.

For a bassist deciding between acoustic and electric upright formats, the NXTa offers a way to try NS Design's specific ergonomic and tonal approach without the full investment the WAV line requires - a genuine entry point into the brand's design philosophy rather than a compromised imitation of it.

Sound character of the NS Design NXTa 4

The NXT4a shares NS Design's ergonomic minimalist body but uses a simpler piezo pickup without the WAV series' onboard preamp, giving a rawer, more direct amplified tone that needs more work from an external preamp/EQ to reach the WAV's rounder character.
