Imagine a bass that never fights you? The NS Design Radius CR 4-string in Natural Satin finish achieves just that. Its natural satin silhouette reveals the deep grain of flamed maple, for an instrument that lives and ages with you. The Diradial™ body is an ergonomic revolution: its concave back hugs your chest like a glove, removing any pressure points. The contoured horn acts like a natural lever, directing your right hand with instinctive precision. Balance is absolute. The neck never dips, even when you let go of the bass with one hand. This isn't comfort, it's freedom.

Stability is written into the DNA of its Fusion neck. The carbon core and double-action truss rod form an unyielding backbone, immune to climatic variations. Your tuning remains faithful, from the first to the last note of a concert. The ebony fingerboard and its 15″ radius give fast, secure contact, ideal for complex lines and ambitious gaps. Access to all 24 frets is total, inviting melodic exploration without barriers.

The acoustic soul of this bass is a conversation between two worlds. The Polar™ piezo pickup, nestled in the aluminium bridge, captures the organic vibration of the strings and the warmth of the wood. NS/EMG magnetic pickups inject the precision and attack needed to slice through a mix. The 18-volt active preamp is the key: it delivers a dynamic range so vast that the slightest nuance in your right hand is reproduced with absolute fidelity. No compression, no loss of detail!

The blend control is your passport to new sonic territories. Turn it towards the magnetic pickups for a punchy sound that will bite into your drummer's tube amp. Switch it to the piezo for the definition and harmonic complexity of an acoustic bass in a studio session. The 3-position selectors and active EQ are your final sculpting tools. They let you adjust the frequency response with a granularity that impresses even sound engineers.

Made in the Czech Republic, this reference is the fruit of expertise where every detail counts. Supplied in a reinforced case with backpack straps, it's ready for both home studio shooting and international touring. It's not designed to please everyone. It's for the bassist who first listens to his instrument, and is looking for a direct extension of his musical intent.
