The "traditional" version of the NS double bass is set up to satisfy the needs of the experienced upright bassist. The standard 106 cm acoustic upright scale length is preserved to insure that fingering and string tension will be consistent with acoustic instruments. While the neck shape is traditional, the small body allows unrestricted access to the upper register of the fingerboard.
The bridge is raised to lift the strings above the fingerboard for action typical of the acoustic upright. Higher string tension and action make it possible to "dig in" like on an acoustic, with reserves of rich sound that can be eased back for a traditional tone, or brought forward for exciting new sounds.
The CR-T neck and body are made from select maple. The full scale fingerboard is graduated for consistent response from note to note, with adjustable relief and bridge height to suit all playing styles. Our Polar Bridge Pickup System combines great sound with directional sensitivity, for a rich and expressive response to arco and pizzicato technique.
An End Pin Stand is standard equipment with the CR-T series. The fully adjustable mono-pod design allows the player to set the instrument in a position like that of an acoustic double bass. The point where the end pin touches the floor can be easily adjusted so that the weight of the instrument is centred over the tip. This balances the instrument leaving both hands free for expressive play. The End Pin Stand Conversion Kit attaches to the optional CR Tripod Stand to hold the instrument upright for on-stand performance or when not in use.
Includes: Soft Bag Case and the SWAN custom made silver flight case pictured (wheeled and is designed to be pushed) . Optional Tripod stand that conveniently folds and is stored in the padded bag.
