Basilpea Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Up for sale now, this Rick Turner Renaissance is one of the lightest 5 string basses out there at less than 3 Kg (6.5 lbs). It has a new set of the recommended Thomastik-Infeld Acoustic strings on and is in pretty good nick apart from a dent on the top which has been filled and sanded down (shown in photos). Apparently Rob Allen used to work for Rick until he branched out on his own so as you might expect the ethos is much the same as Rob's - quality and simplicity with the accent on the acoustic properties of the bass. Comparing it to my RA's it has more depth and tonal range than the MB2, more like the Deep 5 (although not quite as awesome). Here's a link to the Rick Turner website http://rickturnerguitars.com/renaissance-bass . I bought it secondhand from outside this community so I don't know the provenance. In terms of trading, the only thing I need now is a fretless Mouse to complete my collection. I can post to mainland UK for £30 or I can meet half way within a reasonable distance for the same cost, although free collection would be better. Sensible offers welcome, I'll probably give it a couple of weeks then put it on Ebay. Edited January 17, 2021 by Basilpea SOLD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 GLWYS for a fantastic bass ! And Rick Turner used to work for Alembic (original partner, in fact) before creating his own brand in 1978. Maybe he has written it somewhere in his website, that said.
