NS Design - CR Omni bass 5 Cordes Piezo + EMG Sunburst

The NS Design CR Omni Bass 5-string: an extension of your range, combining the precision of an electric bass with the acoustic soul of a double bass.

The fifth string changes everything! This reference opens up a whole new range of possibilities, whether you opt for the low B-E-A-D-G tuning or the high E-A-D-G-C tuning. This downward or upward extension transforms your instrumental approach, opening up new possibilities for modern compositions.

This is where the dual pickup system comes into its own. EMG pickups accurately capture extra frequencies, while the Polar™ piezo renders harmonic complexity across the entire neck. The magnetic/piezo balance control becomes your custom orchestration tool. It allows you textural blends impossible to replicate with a standard instrument.

The solid maple and flamed maple construction ensures consistent projection throughout the range. The European neck and ebony fingerboard provide good stability, essential for maintaining perfect intonation on the extra strings. The variable radius of the fingerboard (from 9.25" to 2") optimises playing comfort in all positions.

Active 18V EMG controls provide precise control of frequency response. The bass and treble EQs sculpt the signal with a clarity that preserves the integrity of the sound, even in the extreme registers. The pizzicato/arco balance control fine-tunes the transducer response to suit your playing technique, from the most incisive slap to delicate arpeggios.

At 3.4 kg, the instrument retains remarkable balance and manoeuvrability despite its enlarged size. The Boomerang™ strap system intelligently distributes weight for extended standing performance. The high-density protective cover keeps this exceptional partner safe on the move.

For the fastidious bassist looking to expand his or her musical vocabulary, whether in studio sessions, on stage or in rehearsals, the CR Omni Bass 5-string doesn't just add a string - it multiplies the creative possibilities.
