NS Design Introduces the CR4 RADIUS Bass

NS Design CR4 RADIUS bass guitar

So, Ned has been at it again. NS Design have just announced a 4 string sibling to sell along side their recently introduced CR5. The new CR4 RADIUS bass guitar by Ned Steinberger is produced in in the Czech Republic. Hot features are:

  • Fusion™ neck
  • Diradial™ body shape
  • NS tuning system
  • NS/EMG pickup system.

It is a headless bass (it is a Ned Steinberger design after all!) with a very distinctive NS Design head stock. The controls are deceptively powerful, those four knobs and two switches give you:  Master Volume, active Treble cut/boost, active Bass cut/boost, rotary magnetic/piezo pickup blend, 3-position magnetic pickup selector switch and a 3-position piezo EQ switch. That is a fair amount to fiddle with! The body shape is curved front and back, and looks to be very comfortable.

    It must have been around 1983 when I met Ned Steinberger and played his new, innovative “paddle” bass at the Frankfurt Musikmesse.

    It is great to see that 30 years on, Ned is still giving us lessons on how to design a bass. An inspiration indeed!
