This NS Design WAV5c-OB-TR is a fantastic option for gigging bassists who want a 5-string without the amp haul. The built-in pickup system is surprisingly good, offering both pizzicato and arco capabilities, and the Coform neck makes it a joy to play – really a great all-rounder for a wide range of genres.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s surprisingly capable for arco, but lacks the nuanced detail of a full mic’d system; it’s a solid compromise for portability and convenience.
Yes, it's a synthetic material offering a smoother, faster feel, but some players accustomed to wood might notice a slight difference in resonance and tactile feedback.
It's a high-gloss finish, so it’s susceptible to scratches like any glossy instrument; a good quality polish and careful handling are recommended.
