The NS Polar™ Pickup System is designed to adapt to different playing styles. Switch to arco mode to capture lateral string movement, ideal for bowing and percussive pizzicato techniques. Flip to pizzicato mode for vertical response and a smooth, sustained electric tone. This flexibility helps you tailor the sound for jazz, classical, or modern genres—without changing instruments.
The WAV4 gives you control over setup and comfort. The two-way truss rod and adjustable bridge let you raise or lower the action as needed. A unique asymmetrical fingerboard makes shifting positions smoother, and cascading dot markers provide helpful visual reference points for accurate intonation.
This upright bass weighs just 4kg and comes with a padded gig bag that fits into most overhead compartments. You’ll also get a self-standing tripod stand that folds away for quick packing. For tougher travel, an optional hard case is available, and the bag includes storage for your bow and accessories.
The WAV4 supports a range of playing positions. The included tripod stand is stable and height-adjustable. You can also add other supports—like the CR Tripod Stand, End Pin Stand, Boomerang™ Strap System, or Frame Strap System—depending on whether you prefer to stay fixed or move freely while performing.
