CRT Electric Upright Bass

CRT Electric Upright Bass

Price range: $5,389.00 through $5,989.00

The instrument purchase includes a CR Bass End Pin Stand, deluxe gig bag, owner’s manual and tool kit.

NS Design’s CRT Upright Bass is the “Traditional” version of the bass and is set up to satisfy the needs of the upright bassist. The standard 106 cm acoustic upright scale length is preserved to insure that fingering and string tension will be consistent with acoustic instruments. While the neck shape is traditional, the small body allows unrestricted access to the upper register of the fingerboard. A small brass button on the back of the neck provides a tactile reference for the traditional “D neck” position. Dot markers provide effective intonation reference.
