Overview

Designed to enhance the expressive range of tone.

Designed in partnership with Ned Steinberger and NS Design, the D'Addario NS Electric Contemporary Bass E String can be used on electric instruments to bring out the best in them. This string is designed to enhance the expressive range of tone sought after by the most discerning players.
