13 February 2008 — Joining the NS Design family of bass instruments and launched at Winter NAMM, the four string CR4 Bass Cello offers authentic upright bass tone with a 34 inch bass guitar scale and standard bass tuning. Explaining the concept behind the Bass Cello Ned Steinberger says, “What I look to achieve in any instrument design is great tone combined with expressive versatility. With the Bass Cello I was able to combine the familiar 34 inch bass guitar scale with the NS Polar Pickup System for a natural acoustic upright sound and an arched fingerboard so the instrument can be bowed as well as plucked. Custom EMG magnetic pickups add smooth, electric bass tones into the mix. It’s my belief the Bass Cello is the most versatile bass on the market.” The NS Bass Cello is supplied with a deluxe padded gig bag and the patented Boomerang Strap System. Interchangeable tripod and endpin stand options are also available.

With WeImprovise! I set out to build a different kind of promotion & discovery platform — supportive, expansive, & inclusive, for music, musicians (students, performers, educators, & researchers), and the wide-ranging industry that supports music worldwide.
The focus is jazz, blues, & roots-folk-world music — incidentally the music that feeds pop & rock creativity — along with the inclusion of cultural & sociological aspects without which the music cannot truly be engaged with.
What you see is the beginning, a proof of concept to demonstrate possibilities and inspire ideas.
