CR5M
Beautiful example of the NS Designs CR5M EUB. Only used occasionally and could not justify keeping it. It needs to be played. It has a wonderful deep B like no other. Comes with tripod stand and carrying bag. Really easy to set up. Controls allow for long sustain or percussive sounds as well. From NS Designs website:
LENGTH: 132 cm (52")
WEIGHT: 4.8 kg (10.5 lbs.)
SCALE LENGTH: 106 cm (41.73")
STRINGS: 4 or 5 (Low B or high C)
CONSTRUCTION: Solid rock maple neck and body, flame maple face
FINISH: Traditional amber stain with clear semi-gloss polymer coating.
FINGERBOARD: Macassar Ebony; 43.1mm (1.7") wide at nut; 89.0mm (3.5") max. width.
BRIDGE: Black phenolic; radius 7.9cm (3.1") string spacing 81mm (3.19").
NUT: Macassar Ebony; radius 7.9cm (3.1"); string spacing 30mm (1.19").
BRIDGE PICKUP: The Polar™ directional piezo pick-up system responds selectively to either vertical vibration (for the sustained plucked sound, like an electric bass guitar), or lateral vibration (for dynamic bowing, and a percussive plucked sound).
MAGNETIC PICKUP (for CR4M and CR5M only): Low impedance EMG™ magnetic pick-up system, with individually adjustable coils, neodymium magnets and low-noise, hum-canceling pre-amp. Produces smooth pizzicato tone not unlike an electric bass guitar. (Magnetic pickups are not recommended for bowing.)
ELECTRONICS: 18 volt active circuit by HAZ Laboratories. Mono output.
CONTROLS: (top to bottom)
