NS Design - CR Contrebasse Électrique 4 cordes Piezo Amber Stain

The NS Design CR 4 Piezo is designed for double bassists who want a modern instrument with the feel and comfort of an acoustic double bass. Its solid maple body and neck offer stability and clarity, while the Amber Stain finish enhances the flamed top and protects the instrument. The rigorous design ensures an even response throughout the register, ideal for amplified playing in the studio or on stage.

The hand-graduated ebony fingerboard ensures a smooth, precise feel. Its asymmetrical profile limits hollow areas, while the discreet markings make it easy to navigate along the entire length of the neck, even in the highest positions. This ergonomic design makes the transition easier for musicians coming from acoustic instruments.

The heart of the sound lies in the Polar Piezo System, which detects vertical and lateral string vibrations. In vertical mode, the sound becomes sustained and electric bass-like, perfect for melodic lines or amplified grooves. In lateral mode, the response is adapted to the bow, with a clean, expressive attack, ideal for pizzicato or arco.

The on-board electronics are simple but effective: volume control, selection between arco and pizzicato mode, and two-band EQ. The 18-volt power supply provides sufficient dynamic range to ensure that the Piezo system remains precise and responsive, even during intense passages.

A reliable, versatile instrument, the CR 4 Piezo excels in all styles, from jazz to contemporary, with professional expressiveness and precision. It comes with a full padded case with special compartments for the tripod, bow and accessories, ensuring safe transport and protection on the road and on stage.
