NS Cr4 radius

[lowlandtrees]

I just read somewhere that this instrument does not have individual string adjustments to regulate intonation. Does anyone know if this is true or does it matter or do they have another method of adjustment?

By moving the bridge up and down, but no individual string intonation (use your ears to correct the position). Still have one home. 😉

Thanks. I don’t own one yet. Been looking then came across this comment which put me off a bit.

Apologies...it’s the ns design cr4 radius bass guitar that I am looking at

According to NS Design, it's fully adjustable : https://thinkns.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/NS-Design-RADIUS-Bass-Series-Feature-Comparison-Guide.pdf

It is not, it just has one saddle that all strings rest on. Asjustability is limited. But then intonation is never perfect all over the neck on any fretted instrument with straight, parallel frets.

Play fretless. 😉
