NXT4A-OB-SB 4-str. Elect. Omni-Bass Active Sunburst

• This type of instrument is perfectly suited to the modern bassist who is looking for new ways of expression, but still places high demands on both sound and playability. The NXT instruments are in many ways identical to the exclusive instruments of the CR series, but with prices that everyone can afford.
• The new NXTa series, with the new active output electronics, includes 4 and 5 string Omni basses, all with physical elegance, incredible lightness and fantastic tone.
• The Omni bass is normally tuned like an electric bass (EADG). It can also be ordered with tuning low to high (CGDA).

The patented tuning system is built into the bottom of the body and allows for quick, easy and precise adjustment, exceptional tuning stability and easy string changes. At the heart of the NXTa is a Polar™ Pickup System, whose piezo components convert string vibration directly into signal output. This provides a balanced, tonally rich reproduction of tone and offers a wide range of expressive possibilities. Arco and Pizzicato have significantly different vibration characteristics, and the Polar Pickup system faithfully captures both.

Dual Mode Output - The new dual-signal-signal output electronics in the NXTa take the convenience, versatility and performance capabilities of the NXT to another level. Active Mode - Using the included charger, plug the NXTa into a wall outlet for 60 seconds to charge the capacitor-powered active circuit for up to 16 hours of playtime.

The instrument can then be plugged straight into any low or high impedance input, no di-box needed. Because there is no signal loss across the entire frequency spectrum of the instrument, every note is clear and strong, even with extra long cables.
Passive Mode - The NXTa can be played in this mode when using a di-box or an amplifier with a high impedance input. This mode provides performance capabilities identical to the original NXT. The NXTa instruments are battery-less, eliminating the hassle and expense of batteries while protecting our environment.
