Very nice. How much does it cost and do they ship overseas?

Please share a video on how you slap your NXT. Very interested to see how its done.

Finally got the ADI21. I'm using it with my NS NXT (non-preamp) with everything set to mid (12 o'clock) except for bass which is at 2 o'clock. I am aiming for an acoustic doublebass sound as I play mostly swing, bossa and some classical. Still searching for that perfect setting though. There is...

Me too. My NXT is setup similar to my acoustic double bass. Helicore Hybrid 3/4 med strings. (I prefer the Orchestrals which are darker). String height like my acoustic so I can dig in. The NXT works well with amplifier that have a high impedance input. But with some amps, it needs a pre-amp to...

Not tried a Sansamp BDDI yet though & would love to get one 2nd hand but they are not easily available. Must be pretty nice gear if no one who has one here wants to part with theirs. :). So I am stuck with the Behringer BDI-21 or ADI-21.

Hi guys, I am aiming for an acoustic kind of sound. I play mostly swing & bossa on my NS NXT. It's kind of the stunt double for my acoustic doublebass for gigs where I prefer not to take the acoustic to.

Thank you seamonkey. What do you usually use?

Hi guys, Which would be better suited for the 1st gen NXT EURB? A Behringer ADI-21 or Behringer BDI-21? I'm using the NXT for place where I can't or wont take my acoustic double bass & am targeting an acoustic sound. Type of music is swing & bossa & a bit of classical. Thanks

So which would be better suited to a NXT (1st gen, no built in preamp) EURB? An ADI-21 or BDI-21? Both look good but I can only get one.

Thank you. I'll try loosening the strings & re-seating the bridge. Maybe raise the bridge height a little again. :). Is there a maximum string height on the NXT bridges? I'm worried that it is possible to over raise the height of the bridge until the screw threads inside come loose.

Was it easy to take apart? I heard that the piezo can get misaligned with bridge and cause a volume drop. I'm planning on taking apart my NXT to check. Any advice? Thanks

She is a beauty and is going to make some bassist somewhere very happy. :). Must have one heck of a story to tell.

Same here. I was having problems when pairing my NXT with a Hartke 112C. Too much boom & mud when plugged in directly & could hear much when soloing on the G-string. I built the FDeck "quick & dirty" buffer & it solved the problem. I do wish he could sell outside the US though.

I just changed to a new set of strings and there is a little ring/buzz on th G-string when I press the string down and play but not on the open G. I've increased the string height by 1mm and loosened the truss rod which seems to help a little. My question is, how much is too much relief? From...

Hi Ortsom, Thanks for the information. :) The instrument is a chinese hand carved solid wood bass which used to belong to my late teacher. About the angle, well, the first time the neck snapped off, we glued the neck back on but did not check for the correct angle so the needed to use a much...
