david1711 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) For sale or trade, a 1999 Rick Turner Renaissance 4 string fretted. Serial no: 1062. Thin line/chambered body 18v Timberline system Hipshot D tuner 32 inch scale String spacing 17mm at bridge Weight 4.5lb! Comes with top notch Ameritage hard case (retail price 447 USD) Condition excellent. A few small scratches and indents on back and sides some of which will steam out. No fret wear. Needs new strings but I will add a set of used TI Acousticores. I am the second owner. I bought this in 2003 when I was in New York. Quite rare over here. A new one would set you back c. 3000 dollars. The Bass Gallery just sold a 5 string fretless version. It was listed at £1500. So imho, this is another David1711 bargain. This is high quality and the sound is amazing. Deserves to be recorded with. I am only contemplating parting with it because there is a bass on here that I want and I already own too many. If that goes I will likely withdraw so if anyone is interested you need to move fast. Located near St Albans. Thanks for looking and as before, sorry for the rubbish pictures.

spuggy9 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Are you sure about the scale length and string spacing ? With these specs. it must have been a custom order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1711 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hi, being more precise the scale is 32.5ins and the string spacing is probably more like 18mm. This was custom made for Rick Kennell (Happy the Man). It can be heard on their album, Crafty Hands, I think. Thanks. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spuggy9 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 "Usually 35" scale and 19mm spacing" Yes , for a 5 string bass , however a 4 banger is usually 34" scale. This is very cool actually , and a custom order for sure ! Nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
