New NS Design 5 String Bass

[TRichardsbass]

Very curious about the bridge, which looks fixed, like an acoustic guitar.

Bridge is similar to the one on the Synapse basses.

Not sure what issues would be causing other NXT owners to find their dots out of tune, but based on the fact that the bridge is basically stationary, they sure ought to be in tune relative to the scale length of the instrument. I know mine are, allowing of course for minor adjustments in finger positioning while playing, but that's necessary on any fretless instrument. Perhaps string problems?

If I play right on the dots, in the upper octave above thumb position, the pitch is considerably sharp (+ 40 cents) - so I just don't use them and wouldn't mind if they were gone.

I have no dots on my upright nor fretless electric.

Premier Guitars Namm update has pictures, and I also found another picture of Rob Wasserman playing a fretted version. Looks like it has the same bridge and electronics as their Omni Bass.

Any idea what who made Wasserman's German bass he bought when he was around 18? It was made around the time of WWII. Thanks
