This Alien Deluxe 5 NT is a seriously capable acoustic-electric bass, perfect for gigging musicians needing stage volume or songwriters looking for a versatile instrument. The long scale provides excellent string tension and note definition, while the Fishman electronics ensure a reliable amplified signal. It’s a great option for players wanting a quality acoustic bass without the premium price tag of some high-end models.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Presys Plus offers more tonal shaping options than basic piezo systems, with adjustable bass, mid, treble, notch, and brilliance controls allowing for a more tailored amplified tone.
The neck profile is a standard 'C' shape, which is generally comfortable, but the 45mm nut width might feel wider than some prefer; it's best to try it in person if possible.
While it has a pleasant acoustic voice, the piezo pickup system inherently alters the tone slightly, providing more clarity and projection than a purely acoustic instrument, but potentially lacking some of the 'air' and warmth.
