NS Design has cleverly designed their instruments with several options for playing. Most of their larger instruments (including all of the CR/EU Basses, NXT and WAV4 basses, and OmniBass models) use a universal mount which is compatible with a variety of stands and strap systems for maximum flexibility.

The different models are furnished with different stands/mounts. For instance, all of the Omni Basses come with the "Boomerang Strap System," which is a special wearable design that was developed for the instrument. The NXTa and WAV basses (full size) come with a lightweight painted steel tripod stand, while the more deluxe CR models have an upgraded, heavier steel tripod stand that is more adjustable.

On this page, you can purchase the upgraded model of the tripod stand, to replace/upgrade/add to your current NS bass (or cello!) instrument. It is compatible with ALL bass models, both the standard Electric Upright and the short-scale Omni Bass, and will work with all of the standard "grades" of the basses - whether CR, NXTa, or WAV.

Other accessories, like the strap system, the Endpin System and the conversion kit, can be found in the "related products" section. We also sell the OEM lighter-weight version of the tripod that is sold with the NXTa and WAV model basses - see related items for that as well. 

More Detail:

The CR Grade Stand for Double Bass & Cello is standard equipment with the EU and CR basses, and is a different design than the stock tripod stand for the NXT basses. It is compatible with all bass and Omni Bass models (as well as the cellos), and offers several upgrades to the stock NXT/WAV stand.

Note that the stand is designed to be highly adjustable, so the bass can be set at an acoustic-like angle or in unconventional positions, including horizontally. The special three-legged design offers individually positionable legs to customize the angle of the stand's main post, for the ultimate in adjustability, without the legs "getting in your way." This stand is heavier than the other model, and I would liken its strength and durability to be comparable to "double-braced drum hardware." All parts (other than washers, gaskets, etc.) are made of metal, including thumbscrews, knobs, etc.

PLEASE NOTE: the stands have a black finish, as shown. The chrome stands you may have seen in photos elsewhere are an older model which was discontinued by NS Design some time ago.
