Strings for Double Bass:  Strings for Electric Upright Bass (EUB)

String Sets: NS Electric NS710 for Electric Upright OMNI Bass (aka Bass Cello)

Manufactured by: D'Addario

The NS Electric line was developed as a joint effort between Ned Steinberger and D'Addario Strings. Because volume is unlimited for electric instruments, NS Electric line focuses on tone and expressive nuance rather than acoustic power. It brings out the richest tone from any electric instrument, and work well for acoustic instruments when subtlety of expression is paramount.

NS Strings are mostly made with stranded steel cores wrapped with aluminum, brass, tungsten, nickel, and stainless steel. The line is designed for use with electric upright basses using NS Standard Double Bass string length.

The Bass Guitar/Bass cello (Omni Bass) strings are made to fit all standard 34-35 inch scale bass guitars. These expressive strings are polished smooth for an intimate feel, with rich bass tone and a clear, singing upper register.

Strings are sold as sets; D'Addario sells the strings in 4-string sets, with high C and low B strings to complete sets for extended-range instruments.

Here are the respective string gauges for the Omni Bass.
