NS Design CR5 RADIUS Bass Guitar

Packed with innovations that improve playability, expand versatility and make it the bass to beat.




Meticulously crafted in the Czech Republic, the
CR5 RADIUS Bass Guitar embodies a breadth of experience, insight, and
design brilliance that only Ned Steinberger can bring to the creation of
a new classic. His approach to the RADIUS, as with every new
instrument, was to re-explore each facet of a bass guitar, leading to
innovations such as the Fusion neck, the Diradial body design, the NS
tuning system, and the NS/EMG pickup system. However, what makes this
instrument most remarkable is its seamless integration of feature, form
and function. The sensuous lines of the RADIUS are balanced and
refreshing, which is exactly how it feels to hold and to play it. Most
of all, the RADIUS is, by design, the most sonically dynamic, versatile
and exciting bass available today.

NS Fusion Neck
The
RADIUS features a bolt-on one-piece maple neck with an embedded
continuous carbon fiber core and adjustable truss rod. This combination
has the natural feel of wood, but the core provides enhanced sustain and
definition to each note. The fingerboard is ebony, with a 35" scale and
familiar 15" radius. Heavy conventional tuning machines are replaced by
an aluminum headplate with ball-end string mounting slots, custom
produced for NS Design by Hipshot. (The tuning system is integrated into
the body.)

NS Diradial Body
The RADIUS'
maple body, with flamed maple top, has a convex back radius, which
provides enhanced contact and stability against the torso. The front of
the instrument is more tightly radiused, which, in combination with the
general wedge shape of the body, shifts it into more comfortable
orientation with the right hand. The distinctive horn provides a natural
grip, and the configuration of the body cutaway provides easy access to
the highest frets.

The instrument as a whole is perfectly
balanced, no downward dip of the neck, giving the left hand
unprecedented freedom. Combined, the shape, balance and light weight of
the RADIUS, just 8.3lb., make this instrument exceptionally comfortable
to play.

NS Patented Tuning System (US Patent 6,528,710): Based
on a design originally created for the NS violin, the RADIUS has a
self-clamping, precision tuning machine, built into the body.

This
fast, simple system accepts any standard single-ball end, full-scale
bass guitar string. No tools are needed: simply rotate the knurled knob
to change a string or tune the instrument.

NS/EMG Integral Pickup System
NS
Design and EMG have collaborated to create this integrated piezo and
magnetic pickup system. It features an 18V onboard preamp, which
provides extraordinary dynamic headroom. The active electronics are
combined with the NS bridge-mounted Polar pickup system, the marriage of
which puts an exceptionally broad, musically rich spectrum of tone at
the player's fingertips.

Controls
The
controls on the RADIUS bass give the player full ability to shape and
mix the magnetic and piezo output: Master Volume, active Treble
cut/boost, active Bass cut/boost, rotary magnetic/piezo pickup blend,
3-position magnetic pickup selector switch, and 3-position piezo EQ
switch.

Bridge & Saddle
Custom crafted
for NS Design by Hipshot, the aluminum one-piece bridge and saddle
assembly provide full height and angle adjustment, allowing the player
to precisely tailor the action and tweak the intonation.
