Ned is a Genius like his father who was a 1988 physics Nobel laureate. My Buddy owned one of Ned's headless guitars with his amazing Transtrem and let me borrow it for a few months in the late 1980s , I fell in love with that guitar, it was all graphite had stainless steel frets, EMG active pickups, I wish I had the spare cash to buy it they are scarcer than Hen's teeth today. Great Video Dave, Regards

Very interesting weird bass! You sure can handle anything! The Amazing Dave! Thanks for all the fun stuff!

ned Steinberger nice guy his shops down the road from me in Portland maine always has a smile and willing to chat about anything

I have one they are not active no batteries in the NX the switch is for pizzicato or bowed style most owners replace the tuners because they fail under that big string tension and put a set of real upright strings on and they make a huge difference in making it sound like a real upright the stock D'addario strings sound more like a electric bass guitar...a great design by Ned Steinberger I love mine....

Well, now, that was different! Cool!

That electric upright bass looks good in its color.

That was quite an adventure. Thanks for letting us ride along.

Whenever I hear a good upright, my heart goes into my throat. Awesome sound, man! Thanks for showing it to us.

That was different, very cool base. Thanks Dave.

Great video. Dave's always interesting and funny.

Killer vid!! You need one!

Oops ,I own a few of neds contraptions now I need another one .......don't tell the wife !!👍🏻☮❤

Very interesting Dave!! Love it.

Way to go Dave! You’ve done it again! I’m on Sweetwater’s web site looking up the price on this bass! Now I’ve got to have one! Thanks Davey!

I bought a NS WAV5. Thanks for the tips.

That's cool. Stand up basses are a lot of fun

Second favorite intro.

Awesome bass

Love it,cheers,from down under

Very educational video.

That must be the first time Dave has worked on an upright bass on his channel. I like it, that was cool, sounded good too.

I think I'll have a Stein of beer and a Burger for lunch. Actually, I own a NS Design 5 string fiddle. It's awesome.

10/10 would buy

Cool bass.

Hiya Dave. Be great to see you working on a Steinberger L2 or an Xl2. The original 80s ones ain't got no truss rod! Graphite composite all the way, can only work from the bridge. Keep up the good work mfreind. Brian.

Oooh, this got my attention. Never mucked around with one of these. Watching with interest....

Dave's World of Weird Stuff today kids. Hope all is well Dave! PEACE 👽💀🎸🎶🎵

No battery required! The active side is powered by a bank of capacitors, instead of a battery, that are quickly charged and supply voltage. If they are quality caps and used with a fair amount of frequency, they should last a long time, and be much less expensive to replace.

Dave Rock'n out 🤘🤘😎 Stray Cats are calling Dave 😁

Wow, Dave, that bench paper.......

Damn Dave, you sure looked in your element with that bass back on the stand! You just had that glint in your eye and a smile like no other!

They are a great EUB

That's a weird one - but still as cool as an eskimos cold bits!!

Holy Dave Claypool! Should have played over the falls. Xheers!

That needs to be reliced and a BadAss bridge installed!!!!

Actually that thing is pretty cool

Such great designs. I met him just once but he was nice enough to sit with me and explain some of his basses back then. That was one he didn't make guitars for a while, only did the upright basses and came back to the regular headless basses with the added piece of wood so the headless haters might buy one. Some of the best bridges ever made can't lure people in. Him and Parker are the best.

I think you were talking about the NXTa series. They use super capacitors instead of batteries. Pretty cool tech, but don't know how durable they are. Time will tell.✌️

Straight out of Star Wars.

Are you setting this up for BOTH pizz And bowing?

Thank you very much for uploading content about this instrument! I have volume problems with the electric piezzo of this double bass. Do you know how I could solve it or from what area could the problem come from? thanks a lot.

Maybe a leg hold trap would work for a capo?

Just curious, I have the 5 string version and my A string seems to be a bit more picky for clean notes. Not sure if I should lower the bridge or not. Ideas? Love the NXT.

Luthier's workout-'bench pressing' a Stienberger Upright bass?

The upright bass strings I thought had a gut core. Does this have a piezo pickup?

Dave 2 questions. Is the fingerboard ebony or a graphite compound? What is the radius?

Hi Dave, can you please tell me what the correct string height should be at the last fret on a Gibson Les Paul?

Makes a change from the usual P-bass set ups right?

What's that nice hollow body bass hanging on the wall? Split diamond inlays. Bound f-holes

Is it heavy?

No battery in this model I gave the same one.

There is a reason that thing is next to the fireplace...

It may need higher action to bow it.

Play a little Sting...

Quite the length on that whippersnapper don't play it outside during a lightning storm.....yikes!

Plastic Fence POst

What is that?! A stick 🙄

Somebody stole most of your bass. I love the imaginary F holes.
