[RETRACTED] For Sale: Rick Turner Custom Short Scale Bass Guitar

[musashi]

   I thought there might be some interest here.  I have a brand new custom short scale 4-string bass built by Rick Turner with Ebony stringers and side LEDs.
 
·      Zebrano top and back
·      Mahogany body
·      Ebony fretboard
·      Ebony stringers though the neck and as headstock laminates.
·      Red and Blue LED's installed along the top edge of the neck
·      26 frets
·      30.5" scale length
·      18-volt preamp and rotating pickup
 
This one definitely has the Alembic feel and vibe.  And it has a lot of bottom.
 
$8500 invested and almost 2 years of build time.  Asking $6200.

That's really pretty.  What are those knobs with the bass clefs?   I got to get some of those!   Did the bass come with those LED's, or were they installed afterward?

I bought a medium scale Turner just yesterday.   
It seems that every time I buy a bass, another shows up the next day!

Hello Dela,


The LEDs are original.  The knobs were Rick's choice.

Taking this off the market for now.  Too big a loss to sustain.  Thanks.

That looks like a sweet bass! I felt a kind of relief that you aren't selling it anymore! Not because I was tempted, but because it seems like a pretty special instrument.

I've never played one of these, or even seen one in person - that "tailpiece" design is pretty out there! The first pic it looks kind of like my Les Paul Triumph, I think it's because of the binding on the body.
