CR4 Fretless by NS Design
I bought the CR4 in Charcoal a little more than a year ago to replace a Fender Custom Shop fretless Jazz that I've had for 25 years. I started to get nervous taking it into clubs, and just needed to retire it. The CR4 has been an absolute revelation. It has the full spectrum of tonality available (requires some getting used to the controls to really master it). I can make it sound… read more like an upright, make it bark like a fretless Jazz, and it works perfectly in Muscle Shoals type R&B environments. I really haven't found anything this instrument can't do. It's light, comfortable, beautiful, and plays like a dream. In my studio experience with it, engineers have absolutely fallen in love with it. I've been playing for over 45 years, and I've owned dozens and dozens of basses. This is right up at the top of my list of favorites.
