NS Design

This doesn't look like an NS Design to me. Does anybody know if this is some type of early prototype?

NS Design CR-4

Nope. Doesn't look like an NS to me either. Even the logo on the face of the peghead isn't right. Also, in the sellers description he/she doesn't mention anything about it being a prototype.

I think, and I could be wrong, that the seller is a lying sack of ****.

Especally when your starting bit is over $3K. A brand spanking new CR-4 from Musician's Friend is only $2200. Whadda loada crap.

Just more evidence that eBay is evil, or rather brings out the worst in people!!

NS basses have been based around composite bridges and besides this is just not what it says it is!

PS - this is not a protype NS design - you can see all about that on NS's web pages and the archive which shows how the design was always for a non-DB type bridge - even in the patent pictures :

Warwickben - please let us know what bass this is! I know most EUBs around, but I can´t seem to identify this one, although the logo on the headstock seems familiar.
