NS Design CR5M Upright Bass – Amber

Description

This bass is in MINT condition. It’s a bit hard to photograph so I’m using stock photos, but trust me when I say that I don’t think this bass has ever been played…

I also have brand new NS Designs Bass bows available – both German and French Frogs, and they are also new.

Innovative design and meticulous construction

At Sweetwater, we know that gigging musicians are looking for maximum flexibility out of their gear. The CR5M Double Bass is tuned just a traditional upright bass and even has the same finger spacing. The innovative pickup system offer phenomenal string-to-string articulation with the bow that is still comfortable for plucked and picked playing styles. Crafted in the Czech Republic, the NS Design CR5M Double Bass has a solid maple body and neck with an asymmetrical ebony fingerboard.

Custom-designed electronics deliver the sounds you need

The NS Design CR5M Double Bass sports a self-powered, custom Polar Pickup System. A pizz/arco switch optimizes the pickup’s response for plucked or bowed playing, it gives you the control, clarity, and richness you want from a bass, no matter your playing style. Custom EMG magnetic pickups deliver classic electric sounds to the CR5M. The 18V preamp offers tons of headroom and powerful EQ and mix tools to sculpt your perfect sound. You get all the output you need and a full range of tone that works with any system.

The latest Steinberger masterpiece

Ned Steinberger breathed new vision and life into stringed instruments when he introduced the L2 bass at Summer NAMM in 1979. Innovatively designed without headstocks, the L2s astonished the music world and prototypes were quickly sold to such esteemed players as John Entwistle of The Who, Tony Levin of King Crimson, and Andy West of The Dregs. Since then, Steinberger basses and guitars have continued to impress musicians – and engineers! – the world over. Their cutting-edge Headless Tuning systems make way for stability never thought possible, while their Radius body shape, Fusion necks, and EMG humbucking pickup systems allow for an extensive range of tonal possibilities.
