nobodysprefect Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) So I'm getting a 6-string fretless and this one is up on the block. Created by Rick Turner who is one of the great innovators of electric bass, this bass has an amazingly huge piezo sound and very versatile magnetic pickups. Very playable and imo one of the most underrated basses in the industry. The list price is over 2400 pounds, though. In light of the market and the fact that I've found something I would like to buy (in addition to the fretless six) I'm asking 680 pounds shipped to UK. The bass is in Finland, and is available for noodling around for those who happen to be around here somewhere. The bass is in near mint condition, the only wear on it is shown on the pic - there's some extremely light scuffing on the back of the bass. This is bass is now sold, pending payment. Thanks for the interest! Edited May 17, 2009 by nobody's prefect

Good luck with the sale...

yorks5stringer Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) These are great basses, I have a fretted cherry wood one with a sound to die for! The price quoted is very very reasonable! Edited May 8, 2009 by yorks5stringer

I'll see what I can do, a friend has more than adequate equipment for recording but a busy schedule, too. No point in using samples that are severely lacking in quality imo. Since the price includes shipping to UK I'll knock 10 quid off the price for mainland Europe buyers as crossing the channel adds about that and a few days.

Still, an unused bass is still taking up the space and looks at you disapprovingly every time you go for another bass instead.
Dread Bass Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 I used to have one of these and it was great. Mine had a really upright kind of tone which didn't work for my band but great basses.
