NS DesignCR5 RADIUS Bass Guitar Satin Natural
1/7
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Satin Natural, the CR5 RADIUS combines a maple, flamed-maple-topped body with NS Design’s Diradial shaping and an 8.3 lb stated weight. Its bolt-on maple Fusion neck has an embedded continuous carbon-fiber core, adjustable truss rod, and 35-inch ebony fingerboard. The integrated NS/EMG system combines magnetic and piezo pickup paths through an 18V onboard preamp, then gives you blend, EQ, and selector controls to shape the output. Body-integrated tuning and an adjustable bridge complete a bass designed around hands-on setup control.

- Players who want tool-free tuning and string changes with standard single-ball-end full-scale bass strings.
