NSFW610 Contemporary Double Bass Strings

NSFW610 Contemporary Double Bass strings feature a solid steel core with a flatwound construction and deliver a full, powerful sound with a brighter tone and lower tension than the NS610 Traditional Double Bass Set.

Solid steel core strings respond with a sound that is more projected, focused, and clearer than that of gut or synthetic core materials. They also have the longest lifetime of any type of string, due to the stability, strength, resilience and durability of the proprietary core structure.

Designed in partnership with Ned Steinberger, the D'Addario Electric Contemporary Bass strings are designed to enhance the expressive range of tone for even the most discerning players. These electric bass strings are made specifically for NS-designed electric instruments, but can also be used on acoustic instruments.
