Rare to find one, let alone a matched set. One is fretted 6, the other a lined fretless. Koa. Ships in a Turner gig bag. $3,000 ea. Not interested in trades, other than possibly a Model 1.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: Finland | | | But are they really a /matched/ pair? I always thought a matched pair would have nearly identical tops, hopefully cut from the same piece of wood. I'd love to have either or both. Any chance of a trade plus cash?
Also, Lokire: feinting? Are you implying you'll dual anyone that tries to buy these? Probably with rogue on your cheeks? Their will be blood :P :P :P. Sorry, spelling nazi in me arose. |

It was just so appropriate: can you imagine two buyers speeding on interstates from different directions, the gig-weary vans screeching in apologetic metal tones as men of thousand gigs whip the very last revolutions a weary and worn engine can deliver, only to arrive at Strangeglow's house at the same time. Eyes grainy and itchy from running on black-no-sugar for far too long, both men at first sight realize there can be only one and with a resigned grunt reach for the spanner, intent on possessing a Turner 6...
*impressing can also be understood in the sense of 'to have an effect' - spelling errors in legal or DNR or military documents being significant in the effect they can have.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2003 Location: Boston, MA | | | Wow...I can't believe it....these are incredible. I had asked Rick to make a six years ago but he wasn't ready to do it. I'm glad to see that he did....what amazing looking instruments. |

If you don't mind my asking, what did these cost new? |

It must be this set because I am pretty sure there is not another "set" of these.
Free bump for keeping them together!

These are very vibey looking basses and I bet they sound even better. |

But yes, your homonym in that context was quite subtle.
