How to choose

Compare the NXTa and WAV series by string count and finish to find the right fit for your playing.

Beginner

A bassist moving from electric bass guitar to upright can start on the NXTa 4-string, which keeps a familiar four string layout while introducing upright technique. Practice with a strap and stand until your balance and bow or pizzicato technique feels stable.

Intermediate

A player with some upright experience can compare the WAV4 and WAV5 to decide if a five string range suits their repertoire. Spend time adjusting amp settings to match the tone you are used to from acoustic upright.

Expert

A touring or session bassist can rely on the WAV4 or WAV5 for consistent amplified tone without the bulk of an acoustic double bass. Check the instrument's hardware and endpin regularly, since these take the load during transport and performance.
