The NS Design CR Series is a solid-body electric upright bass with a 4/4 scale length and a 4-string layout, built from maple with an ebony fingerboard and 18 frets. It is a full-scale instrument that stands on its own tripod or can be played seated, and it uses a piezo pickup system rather than an acoustic body, so it stays quiet for practice and feeds an amp or PA directly. It suits bassists who want upright tone and feel without a large acoustic body, and it is a step up in build and electronics from NS Design's entry WAV line. Reviewers tend to praise its playability and amplified tone while noting that it is a specialized instrument with a learning curve and a high cost of entry.
