Double Bass Aftermarket Body Wings for NS EUB?

[rogerbmiller]

Anyone know if there is such a thing as aftermarket body wings I can buy to put on my NS WAV (the old version from the aughts, which was discontinued)? I have always had a rough time transition to thumb position without anything on which to rest my left arm.

Thanks!

I've often thought somebody could come in and design/sell alternative wings or supports for the NS basses. I've tried the tripod, the endpin, the boomerang, and shortly the frame strap, but I would like some more options. I've even thought about designing my own.

If you succeed there will be many potential customers. Mounting options will be the trick, eh?

True - we’re restricted to using the official method of attachment, I guess. I have the end pin with that ‘belly brace’ part, and I think that’s what I’d look at first - alternate parts to add there.

Would be very interested if you come up with something. I find I am very limited on the NS because of the lack of physical cues.
