NS Design NXT4a Radius Bass Guitar - Black Reviews
The NS Design NXT4a is one of the most forward-thinking bass guitars on the planet. Its innovative Diradial body boasts a concave back, radiused front, and wedge-shaped body that supply unprecedented playing comfort. Its balanced NXTa Radius maple neck eschews a headstock with heavy tuners to give you a balanced, lightweight instrument. Add to that an easy-playing ebony fretboard, and you have a bass that's hard to put down. As for the sound — the NXT4a's NS/EMG-designed pickups capture every ounce of its natural tone, while Dual Mode Output Electronics deliver a wide palette of sonic textures. Complete with an ultra-stable self-clamping tuning system, the NXT4a is meticulously crafted in the Czech Republic.

Superb playability, top notch comfortability, great sound!
Just want to start the review by saying this is my first official NS design bass. I do own two other NS shaped Spectors, which are very comfortable to play. This bass particularly feels more comfortable than both of my spectors. The ease of lowering the action and changing strings blew me away. I brought the action down for faster playing and this thing is a monster! I've read past reviews about this not giving you a hardy tone but from personal experience this is probably the best sounding bass I've ever played and it beats out my two spectors with active EMGs. After playing this for nearly 2 weeks, my only gripe is The push pull tone pot feels very cheap, and the tone knobs could have been a bit more high-end. Touching back on the first review, I updated the strap buttons to the D'Addario elliptical pins, and I have no issues with my strap. Great inexpensive investment for this bass. If you're on the fence about buying a NS design bass, just go for it. I love this bass and don't regret it one bit!
The perfect workingman's bass
It's a light, well-balanced, good feeling, great playing bass. No worry of batteries, and changing a string and tuning it to pitch takes less than a minute. Wired VOL / VOL / Tone. Chunky, comfortable, no-dive neck. The fret-board is a composite that sounds like maple and ebony had rosewood's lovechild.
Don't expect too much "sparkle" from the pre-amp as this is not that kid of bass. The tone is meat and potatoes yet huge, which gives your pedalboard a firm foundation and strong signal to start with, though just by itself should be good enough for most.
I took a star off because of the seemingly narrow strap buttons. Definitely something you'd want to keep in mind, especially if you run your cord through your strap.
