All the performance features of U.S. instruments at a fraction of the cost.

The NS Design CR 5M 5 String Electric Double Bass was designed by Ned Steinberger and made in the Czech Republic which has a long held reputation for the highest quality upright basses. In its June 2000 issue, Bass Player magazine, citing The CR 5M's impeccable craftsmanship, stated, "This bass plays so well, in fact, that upright players may find it plays too easily." The 5 string bass features a solid sugar maple neck and body with a flamed maple face. The neck has a traditional profile and is fitted with a Macassar ebony fingerboard. Electronics are state of the art. An active 18V hum canceling preamp with volume, bass EQ, and treble EQ controls is wired to both a Polar bridge mounted piezo and an EMG magnetic pickup. The electric upright bass guitar comes with a foldable chromeplated tripod stand, a padded NS Design Cordura bag for the bass, and an interior bag for the tripod stand.
