During a European tour in 2003 with the Argentinean band Escaramujo, I discovered the NS Design CR4 double bass. At that time I was touring with an acoustic bass with all the problems that can occur from one stage to another. Switching to the CR4 made my life a lot easier and I knew that from now on I would have a great sound on every stage. It has been my main double bass since then. Naturally, when NS Design released the Radius Bass I wanted to try it. The test was successful and the Radius Bass CR4 and CR5 were quickly adopted. With the Radius Bass, I found this very effective sound that allows me to feel confident in any context. And it is a very practical bass for travelling.—Bertrand Allaume
