The late Rick Turner created a lot of magic in the world of music. The first PA system ever for a band called Rare Earth. The first Alembics. And this Renaissance is one of the later evidences of his brilliance. This thing can sound as bassguitar, acoustic bassguitar and upright'ish: all the oomph, grind and mwaaaah you ever need at 2400 grams only. Bass is new and one of the last ones new built by the master himself.

pics?

Actually it is a Basic (quite an understatement for such an exorbitant instrument) but a classic nevertheless!

Ash body Maple neck/board with black inlays Graphite reinforcement bars inside the neck Compound radius fingerboard Neck width at nut 47,5 mm String spacing at the bridge +/-18 mm Scale 34" Fender noiseless pickups (4th gen.) Threeband EQ (18v) with passive tone control Fender bridge with through body stringing (maximum sustain) or traditional top load (more attack) Easy access dual way truss rod adjusting with spoke wheel at the base of the neck (like Sadowsky) Including Fender OHSC and certificate. The bass is in very good, almost new, condition. No issues. Elites are arguably some of the best basses ever built by Fender.

Sculptured offset longhorn solid walnut body 5 piece Eastern neck through maple neck, purple heart stringers Fingerboard Pau Ferro Double truss rod 24 jumbo frets Scale 34” 4800 grams Neck width 2” at the nut, 3 1/8” at the 24th fret Schaller tuners Tobias bridge Bartolini TCT pre amp with 3 band EQ Bartolini Tobias proprietary MTCC dual coils pickups Tobias OHSC. 100% original and in great condition. Playability and sound are superb. A classic and timeless piece built by Mr. Michael Tobias and crew in Hollywood.

Ash body, quilted maple top, maple 3 piece neck with block inlays and binding. Low End proprietary stacked single coil pickups. Pre amp Gregory G-BP3 (brand new, much like F Bass, transparent and very musical but more versatile.) String spacing at bridge +/- 19mm Very solid well thought over top quality Jazz Bass built by Benavente guitars and assembled by Brian 'Mr. Low End' Barrett. Plays and feels very comfortable, sounds like a Jazz Bass on steroids with extended note capacity.

What I can say in my non scientific maybe even biased humble opinion is that it is not as bright as a maple board with ash body, but not as dark as an alder body with rose board neck. For some the perfect synthesis.

My old bass. Nice one. Good luck selling.

Very nice one Rainer. If this would have been for sale a week earlier...

One guy has an option till tomorrow. Biut other than that still for sale...

What's t he thing with the dotted i.s.o. inlay neck on the same body?

Thanks for your supportive comments. These oldies have something special. Whether it is a different build quality or ‘just’ the ageimg of the woods I don’t know, but it feels like an old jeans, without the relic stuff.. just some minor honest playing wear. Considering the condition, the lightness and the extra set of pickups I think the price ia justified. New this would cost now over €5750. Then again: old woods versus new woods is easy math…

Price includes shipping in Europe.
