NS Design WAV Electric Upright Bass

[@NateNavarro]

Thorough review. Thanks for all the sound samples. Thumbs up, Rumblin Man.

[@RumblinMan]

Nathan Navarro thanks my friend!!

[@carmine.molfese]

oh my gosh thank you for this. i currently play the electric bass and was getting into upright but didn’t know where to start. i was looking at this ns and was skeptical but you sold me. thanks for pushing me forward

[@RumblinMan]

I’m honored!! Thank you so much.

[@LowEndLobster]

This video made me... upright... sitting position I mean. Great vid man!

[@RumblinMan]

I was excited for a minute big boi!! 🤣🤣

[@RumblinMan]

Thanks bro.

[@TheLateBoyScout]

Great demo! Really interesting bass.

[@jeremiahcowling3837]

I’ll be perfectly honest, you’re the last person I expected to see on a bass review. Hope you’re doing well, been watching for years.

[@etpslick100]

I have the first series WAV bass because I didn’t have the room or space for an acoustic upright bass. I didn’t expect it to SOUND like an upright because it’s electric. BUT for the money it sounded incredible coming from my SWR Super Redhead. Still have it. Great bass for the money.😌🎶👍🏾

[@Basszillajay]

Thank you for showing us the sounds that WAV electric upright bass can make.

[@RumblinMan]

Basszillajay my pleasure!

[@haeven1622]

This sounds amazing! :D

[@chillbro2275]

good review and demo and explanation.

[@RumblinMan]

Thanks so much!!

[@J.Feliciano-FOREVER-JAM-N]

Hey thanks for the demo. I have 2 electric basses, Honer “Jack “

[@rcaudill1902]

Great job thanks for the review. I just ordered one and should get it in a few days.

[@tedbrookins]

Nice! What’s your report on it as of 6/2023? Thanks!

[@rubenriverarojas7910]

Very nice sound, and good demos!

[@RumblinMan]

Ruben Rivera thanks brother!

[@t.j.meechan682]

I've never personally played an upright bass before, but it looks like fun. Now if only i could learn a few Claypool riffs to play on it. Great demo brotha man. Have a goodun.

[@RumblinMan]

My man! Thanks. You should get one of these!!!

[@t.j.meechan682]

@@RumblinMan i need an interface and a new computer in the worst way. After that i seriously might. Recording on my phone is laughable.

[@RumblinMan]

T.J. Meechan yeah man, a computer will take things up for sure.

[@guy5359]

Great video Rumblin Man! Ned Steinberger (NS) is a genious, I love everything he creates even if I never had the chance to try all his musical instrument. I had his first creation though, a couple of years ago, a Steinberger XL-2 bass, I wish I still owned it by the way, still my favorite bass to date!

[@RumblinMan]

That's awesome man!!

[@horse_dog]

i’ve been eyeing the 5 string version for literal years, might sell off two of my guitars to get one

[@RumblinMan]

Nice!

[@marklukins491]

Thanks for the video! Could you review the WAV5 OMNI??

[@TheBeardofDOOM]

One of these days i'll play one, and the first thing i'm going to do is play 'Have you seen me?' by GWAR 🤘

[@RumblinMan]

Maybe I’ll still have this one when you come to town!

[@TheBeardofDOOM]

@@RumblinMan possibly!

[@glenndjubilee]

I bought a WAV5. Thanks.

[@RumblinMan]

Awesome!! Congrats!!

[@MichaelEMJAYARE]

This is one of those “dream” instruments for me. Especially the higher end NS electric uprights - I want to try my hand at playing arco, but man, that price tag limits me. I love Neds instruments; though.

[@RumblinMan]

I feel ya man!!

[@jeffjacobson59]

A lot cheaper than a Yamaha Silent. I would just try to find a decent plywood 3/4 student bass for less than a grand. Companies like FMI also have tons of cool personal options. A double bass doesn’t have to cost 10K+

[@rimonhalloun7253]

What a great player you are

[@RumblinMan]

Thanks so much!!!!!!!

[@michaelblaney4461]

I think it would sound good with a bow too, this probably has a 41- 42" scale length. Ibanez has a similar instrument with a 34" scale, still smaller scale then a 1/2 size bass though ( approx 38")

[@milkwalkerjones633]

NS has the Omni version of this bass which is 34" scale. This one is 41.75 or thereabouts

[@mikeash1978]

Really like the review. I have had 3 "electric uprights" in the past and all sound simply like a fretless bass guitar. I simply don't want to buy a truck to haul around the traditional "double bass". BTW: any chance of you reviewing a Rick Turner Renaissance bass?

[@RumblinMan]

I’d love to!

[@mikeash1978]

@@RumblinMan Thank you. (I love mine).

[@michaelfinch5286]

I know a guy who hauls around a traditional upright bass is his car with no problem. He places it in the front seat and let's the seat back easy 123.

[@mserif7992]

Great video. What amp are you using?

[@RumblinMan]

Thank you! I used a ZOOM B3 for this video.

[@mserif7992]

Ty! How many watts? How does it sound compafed to double bass?

[@J.Feliciano-FOREVER-JAM-N]

And a Music Man “Stingray” Love’m both . Always wanted a double bass but the usual difficulty’s kept me from getting one. This bass sounds pretty good. Is it hollow? Does it come with a bow? Does it have a real upright feel?

[@RumblinMan]

It’s not hollow and doesn’t come with a bow. It feels like an upright but better.

[@danimalscrunchers4753]

What Stand were you using? I also have a wav bass, but I'm having trouble which stand I need to buy

[@RumblinMan]

The stand in the video came with the bass. Did yours not come with one?

[@danimalscrunchers4753]

@@RumblinMan no mine came with the boomerang strap

[@kevinobrien3888]

Was there something about the WAV4 that made you chose that over the next priced up model the NXT4a? I'm just curious.

[@RumblinMan]

Kevin OBrien nope. It’s just the one I had an opportunity to review.

[@kevinobrien3888]

@@RumblinMan Okay well I appreciate it and I pulled the trigger after watching your review. I originally wanted the Ibanez UB804, but I think I want a full scale and not the 34". My daughter can teach me to play. She's a pretty solid upright player. :)

[@johnlackner1193]

This is almost the only upright bass that is available left-handed.

[@jeffjacobson59]

Every bass is left handed

I am laying Christian Black Metal. I neeed electric downleft bass. Any idias?

none.

@@RumblinMan I think i might need octobass. This will be good acoustic version of my electric bass which i have now which is Warwick Dark Lord BO 4 (old version made in Germany) and use it for Christian Black Metal!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2O7Xpxvjq2to6c

[@XxBigguy3xX]

I’m surprised that you have some upright chops. The upright is a tricky instrument. Try a German bow for upright bass. It’s basically a separate instrument.

[@RumblinMan]

Andrew McClure surprised, lol? Well thanks, I think! Hope you’re well man!

[@rcbock15]

How about getting the bass into the blend a bit more, your vox is twice as loud.

[@RumblinMan]

Bob Bock wasn’t exactly looking for a video critique. Gimme a break.
