I have not had this Bass long, bought on this ear forum. It’s a great bass, in looks and playability. Used on three gigs and about 5 rehearsals by me, it did what I wanted it for, lack of mobility in my left arm. It’s 35” scale as well, important to me at the time of purchase. However, I find myself drawn to the NT dark side and specifically a set of twins, Fretless and fretted necessitating a switch to 34” scale, maybe!

Stop Press. An unforeseen stroke has curtailed my bass playing career  🤷‍♂️ 

 

it’s in immaculate condition, any trial at my Gaff, I still have the box so UK mainland shipping no probs, although a meet halfway for a handover would be the best way. Complete with ‘Gig Bag.

 One of Ned’s better style of bass. 
 

Part ex ! A Peavey Cirrus 5iver, or a Grind 5iver, WHY? (What have you)

 

Thanks for looking, it’s now for sale.

No band, I’ve jacked that, sensible offer

 

Get well soon mate, these things are a bloody curse. Hope you find something else to fill your time with that you enjoy doing just as much as playing bass. 👍

IT’S ONLY  £550.00.  Grab a bargain 

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am probably on more of limited lifespan after this stroke I had 19 days ago, that Malarkey of throat Cancer, means I need to divest myself of my Gear. The last I would I want is my daughter  having dispose of kit she no idea how how to value. 

 

No low ball offers

Also sorry to hear about your situation . 
It is a steal , but I 'd say  that the main / only reason this hasn't sold is because of the cost of living crisis .

There are a few basses that are still hanging around here, of which some have had their asking prices continually cut .

My advice fwiw is to not reduce price ,but just bump it on a regular basis . 
It'll sell eventually ,and possibly quicker as you have postal options . 
This is a bump I guess, Glwts

Web Site Blurb:

 

INNOVATIVE BODY & NECK DESIGN

Pushing the envelope of modern bass guitar design once again, the Radius features the unique NS Diradial™ Body curvature, which combines a torso-hugging convex back radius for enhanced comfort and stability with a tighter front profile that encourages a more natural right-hand playing position. Overall, the chambered maple body and distinctive, offset cutaways make this lightweight instrument perfectly balanced and extremely comfortable to play, with unrestrained freedom to access the upper register.

 

The NS Fusion Neck is a one-piece, maple design with an embedded, continuous carbon fiber core, a combination that provides a natural feel whilst enhancing sustain and definition to every note. The smooth ebony fingerboard is fast and even all the way to the highest of the expertly set frets. On fretless Radius models, the fingerboard bears the same series of cascading dot makers that grace NS concert instruments, providing a perfect visual guide.

 

NS PATENTED TUNING SYSTEM

This is a Ned Steinberger bass through-and-through so it's headless, naturally, with a radically enhanced precision tuning system at the back of the body for more natural and subtle control. Based on a design originally developed for the NS Violin, the unique, self-clamping system (which accepts any standard scale single ball end strings) means that string changes and fine tuning are effortlessly quick and easy.

As an added advantage, the system will also accept NS Omni Bass Strings, giving players the opportunity to approximate the sound of an acoustic upright bass, particularly on fretless Radius models.

 

UNIQUE NS/EMG INTEGRATED PICKUP SYSTEM

The Radius sports an integrated piezo and magnetic pickup system co-designed by NS Design and industry leaders EMG. A pair of EMG humbuckers deliver powerful, pure electric tones whilst the NS Polar™ piezo pickup system offers a wealth of acoustic character. Blended together you get a massive tonal palette to create rich, full-sounding bass sounds with character and definition.

The on-board 18 volt CR Series preamp (WAV Models feature a 9 volt circuit) provides ample dynamic headroom for any style, in any performance environment, with comprehensive active electronics allowing you full reign to dial in any tone your imagination inspires.

THE LATEST NED STEINBERGER MASTERPIECE

The Radius Bass is a unique and fearsome beast that is at once an ergonomic marvel, a work of art, a perfect carry-on companion, and a workhorse instrument with superb tone and enough firepower, stability, subtlety and versatility for any stage or studio.
