Rick Turner Renaissance 5 (2002, USA) £2200 Hilversum, The Netherlands

[will4bass]

Magnificent semi acoustic bass which speaks to your fingers. Sounds from upright to a fat and tight bass guitar.

The finger or pick position makes all the difference. Or the thumb: this instrument allows for slapping nicely too.

Is now strung with Thomastik flats but works well with any string (I also used Elixirs). Very good ergonomics,

fast neck, great balance while extremely light. Has the earlier version of the pre amp which is considered

provide the best sound.

Another ex owner also concurring! Mine was strung with Thomastik phosphor-bronze rounds and had a wonderfully rich organic sound. Beautifully made instrument.
