NS-Design CR Electric Upright Bass 5-String / CR5 (amber)

The CR Series electric upright bass, with its exceptional versatility and tone quality, is almost becoming an indispensable tool for the serious bassist. The lean, solid-body CR Series bass takes its place in a long history of fine instruments crafted in the Czech Republic. Available in 4 and 5 stringed models, the CR Series is made from select maple and ebony. The full scale fingerboard is graduated for consistent response from note to note, with adjustable relief and bridge height to suit all playing styles. Our Polar bridge pickup system combines great sound with directional sensitivity, for a rich and expressive response to pizzicato and arco techniques. Optional EMG magnetic pickups expand the range to include classic electric bass sounds. According to Bass Player magazine, the Czech made CR Series "boasts impeccable craftsmanship from a country with a reputation for quality upright bass building. It's clean aesthetics, excellent playability, and great sound put it ahead of the pack." Three interchangeable support systems are available for the bass: the self supporting tripod stand, more conventional end pin stand, and shoulder strap assembly for full mobility.
