The NXT4a is a really solid entry into the electric upright world, especially for lefties. NS Design nailed the ergonomics and build quality – the Richlite fretboard is a joy to play. It's a great choice for gigging musicians or studio players who want a versatile and reliable electric upright without the premium price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Polar system is generally considered warmer and more natural sounding than many piezo pickups, offering a better balance between arco and pizzicato tones.
The neck has a fairly standard C shape, so it should feel familiar to most bass players, although it’s slightly thinner than many P-Bass or Jazz Bass necks.
The adjustable bridge is a key feature; it allows for fine-tuning intonation and string clearance, making it adaptable to various string choices and playing techniques from aggressive pizzicato to delicate arco.
