NS Design - CR Omni bass 4 Cordes Piezo + EMG Sunburst

The NS Design CR Omni Bass 4-string electric double bass in Sunburst finish is an open door to rich, satisfying playing. The name "Omni" is no accident: it embodies the philosophy of an instrument designed to transcend categories. Here, the boundary between the acoustic double bass and the modern electric bass is completely erased.

Your right hand will discover an original sensation. The hard maple bridge, with its 2″ radius, is optimised for fingerpicking, picking and, above all, bowing. The dedicated 'Balance pizzicato/arco' control lets you adjust the piezo response according to your attack, giving an expressiveness that rivals the best acoustic instruments.

Under your fingers, the solid European maple neck adopts a double bass profile, an ergonomic shape that invites you to play uninhibited in the highest registers. The ebony fingerboard and its unique TransRadius™ profile ensure velvety contact and intonation of absolute clarity, whether you're in fourths or fifths.

The electronics are the nerve centre of this versatility. The Polar™ piezo pickup delivers the warmth and harmonic complexity of a contact pickup, while the low-impedance EMG pickups and neodymium magnets provide a defined, modern and punchy grain. The magnetic/piezo balance knob becomes your primary creative tool, allowing for hybrid mixes that charm.

The EMG 18-volt active preamp, with its bass and treble controls, gives you the keys to sculpting your audio with precision. In a recording session, you'll go from a funky slap bass line to an orchestral accompaniment in just a few settings. On stage, its light weight (3.26 kg) and balance make it the perfect partner for any setlist.

Supplied with its patented Boomerang™ strap system and protective cover, the Omni Bass is an invitation to push the boundaries of your creativity. For the bassist who refuses to choose between tradition and innovation, this instrument is for you!
