The NXT series by NS Design embodies striking elegance, advanced ergonomics, and rich, full-spectrum tone, fused into an exciting and pleasingly affordable instrument. Crafted to exacting standards in the Czech Republic, this line is for the working musician who seeks exceptional performance in any amplified or studio setting.
NXT 4- or 5-string Violin (retail value: NXT4 $1,460; NXT5, $1,595) is among the lightest performance electrics on the market, offering exceptional comfort and perfect balance. The self-powered Polar™ pickup system technology delivers unsurpassed tone, dynamic range and clarity, and eliminates the need for on-board batteries or an external power supply. The precision tuning system provides unparalleled ease of tuning and incredible pitch stability. The NXT comes standard with a lightweight hard-shell case.
NXT 4- or 5-string Cello (retail value: NXT4 $1,595; NXT5 $1,795) is an excellent choice for cellists who are serious about breaking away from the limitations of an amplified acoustic. The Polar™ Pickup System eliminates feedback when amplified, giving performers the freedom to play at any volume. In addition, cellists will appreciate the absence of wolf tones on an NXT. Since the sound is transmitted solely through the pickup, the use of signal processors for looping and other effects is more practical and effective than with an amplified acoustic instrument. The NS Tripod Stand and Gig Bag come standard with the NXT.
NXT 4- or 5-string Double Bass (retail value: NXT4 $1,695; NXT5 $1,895) features the Polar™ Pickup System, which allows the player to select for the optimal sound in either arco or pizzicato mode. The NXT’s special asymmetrical fingerboard relief facilitates an even ‘growl’ from the higher strings and a clear, powerful lower register, while the adjustable bridge and truss rod allow for low, fast action, or for higher string settings that encourage the traditional acoustic player to ‘dig in’ with gusto. The NXT comes standard with a Tripod Stand and Gig Bag.
