Please email any questions before bidding. Additional info below:NS Design NXT5 Double Bass opens up a new horizon for the serious bassist looking to play a great instrument on a limited budget. These instruments, crafted in the Czech Republic by the makers of the renowned CR Series, exemplify flawless workmanship at an incredible value.The NXT5 has a ¾ sized solid maple body and neck, and a graduated ebony fingerboard for a rich, full tone that rings true for every note. Asymmetrical fingerboard relief facilitates an even 'growl' from the higher strings and a clear, powerful lower register. The adjustable bridge and truss rod allow for low, fast action, or for higher string settings that encourage the traditional acoustic player to 'dig in' with gusto.The on-board Polar Pickup System is an exciting new dimension in string instrument performance that offers powerful dynamics and rich full sound. Two separate mounted transducers beneath the adjustable bridge offer unlimited expressive potential. Each pickup is specialized for a specific task. A convenient switch gives you the choice to select a traditional arco mode for percussive attack and dynamic bowed response, or pizzicato mode for a smooth, sustained tone. Equipped with single volume and tone controls, the passive electronics provide plenty of overhead for the ultimate sound without cumbersome batteries.The NXT5 can be strung with electric or traditional acoustic strings, allowing the player to select from a wide range of set-up options, each with a unique sound and feel. In combination with the easy adjustment of basic set-up parameters, this versatile bass is adaptable to many different styles of music. In addition, this amazing 5-string bass can be tuned in standard B,E,A,D,G tuning or can be tuned in E,A,D,G,C.5-string acoustic-electric bass3/4 size41.73" (106 cm) scale lengthSolid maple body and neckBlack satin finish52" (132cm) body lengthEbony fingerboard with asymmetrical fingerboard reliefOffset dot fingerboard inlaysFingerboard width: 1.87" (47.6mm) wide at nut; 4.0" (89.0mm) maximum widthEbony NutPolar Pickup SystemAdjustable truss rodRock maple bridge (dyed black); radius 3.1" (7.9cm); string spacing 3.14" (80 mm)Black hardwareFully encased worm gear tunersDesigned to accommodate full-scale acoustic bass stringsMade in Czech Republic
