NS DesignCR5 RADIUS Bass Guitar Satin Amber
1/7
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Satin Amber CR5 RADIUS pairs a maple body and flamed maple top with NS Design’s Diradial body form and a stated 8.3 lb weight. A bolt-on maple Fusion neck combines a continuous embedded carbon-fiber core, adjustable truss rod, and 35-inch ebony fingerboard. Its NS/EMG electronics bring magnetic and piezo pickups together through an 18V onboard preamp, with blend, EQ, and selector controls available at the instrument. The tuning system is built into the body, while the bridge and saddle allow action and intonation adjustment.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Mixing piezo and magnetic pickup signals from the onboard blend and EQ control layout.
- Players seeking no-tool tuning and string changes using standard single-ball-end full-scale bass strings.
- Using the cutaway for access to the highest frets described by the body design.
