From what I've found online I think the CR has the mag pup but the CRT does not. It has the control for pizzicato and arco which is great because I plan to play mostly music along the lines of John Butler Trio's album, Sunrise Over Sea. I think the preamp would be really useful as I eventually hope to do a little recording. I also think the NS upright basses look amazing so I would probably be willing to shell out around £1000 for one. If this £800 bass is in good condition I may well go for it. Can you recommend any other equally good EUBs for a smaller budget?

I'm looking to buy a used CRT4. I've found a couple out there but they seem a little expensive. One is £800 and the other is asking £1000 with some new strings. Is it worth getting the CRT at these prices when I can get the NXT4 for £850? Please advise.
