ARTICLE N° 111825
A revolutionary anatomy that hugs your body, a dual pickup system that defies genres: the NS Design Radius Bass CR 5 Strings is a bass that makes you want to play.

It doesn't just resonate, it responds. The Flamed Maple Diradial body of the Radius Bass CR 5 Strings isn't just a shape; it's an ergonomic interface. Its concave back hugs your torso, cancelling out the weight of the instrument to leave only the pure connection between your intention and the note. This original anatomy redistributes mass, eliminating neck dip and pressure points for infinite sets.

Your left hand meets a carbon-stabilised maple neck of absolute rigidity, topped by an ebony fingerboard for resistance-free gliding. The 24 frets on a 35" scale and 18 mm spacing on the one-piece aluminium bridge are a playground for complex lines, from tight grooves to fusion flights.

The heart of the instrument beats with two souls: the defined bite of the NS/EMG magnetic pickups and the organic breathing of the bridge-mounted piezo pickup. The 3-position selector is your personality switch: engage the direct punch, the roundness of the neck or the fusion of the two for a made-to-measure hybrid.

The 18V active preamp is your sculpting laboratory. The active bass and treble EQs chisel the spectrum with precision, while the magnetic/piezo balance knob lets you dose the mix, from 100% electric to 100% acoustic. In the studio, this versatility makes you the star of the session. On stage, it's your complete arsenal in a single instrument.

It arrives in a high-density travel bag, ready for the rigours of touring. For the bassist who sees his instrument not as a tool, but as an extension of his own physique, demanding a voice without limits, you're well served!
