A great instrument with many possibilities

Axel1845, 12.05.2015

After many years of EUB experience, it was time to try an instrument of today's standard. As a learned classical bassist, who is mainly active in the field of Smooth Jazz, I have so far missed above all the possibility to bring out my skills with the bow. This is no longer a problem. The NS-NXT sounds like a high-quality double bass. Pizzicato with a wide range from the traditional double bass to the fretless electric bass. An instrument for almost all requirements, in matte black an excellent optics, featherlight to transport and in tadellous processing.

Unqualified recommendation for all bass and fretless bass players who are looking for an instrument with modern sound (even when recording without noise), and a big sound that reacts to the smallest nuances of the game. The subtle markings on the fingerboard are a good guide for the beginning, as the usual orientation on the body is not possible. For that, who wants, can also play in the high positions without a thumb attachment.

So far so good

19.09.2015

Basically a solid device, plug and play.
The sound is tiptop, but reminds me of a Fretlessbass and not of a double bass.
Unbeatable in public transport. The bag could be a bit more solid.

There is a big minus for shipping. The instrument was packaged three times and therefore had to be shipped by forwarding agency, which gave me a further bill of 200EUR.
In my opinion, the packaging offered by the manufacturer sufficient protection and a dispatch with DHL readily possible.

For me a great exercise / travel instrument to keep the fingers a jour.
But when I have the choice, I take a real double bass
