Renaissance/Turner Basses Club

Almost time for live band playing again!

 

I had seven gigs in April and have eight booked this month. Feels good to be working again. Thankful for working with a trio right now as that’s what’s mainly booking around here.

 

That’s awesome, Tim. Things are just starting to move towards live music around here. Hoping we can put the band back together, will need a bit of practice time too…so maybe the fall for actual gigs.

 

I played and hosted a lot of driveway concerts throughout the pandemic which really helped my state of mind. Nice that other gigs are happening now too though.

 

Neat looking Model T bass with a Bisonic-like pickup

Very cool.

Seems to me there haas been at least one lovely Model 1 on Reverb recently as well...

 

Very nice. I take it these are pretty serious neck divers?

 

Been playing every weekend all along except for a few, at Church. Get you one.

 

That wood was swiped from a mid ‘90’s Ampeg Baby Bass! Tell me I’m wrong? Don’t get me wrong, beautiful bass for sure, but I just walked back in time for sure!

 

I wonder if the dealer requested the Model T bass and the Bisonic-like pickup. Gould added Novak’s version of the Bisonic at the request of a dealer, it’s a unique and great sound from those pickups.

 

Ah yes, I forgot about that one, there’s mention of it somewhere earlier in this thread.

 

You have a good memory!

 

Anyone know the size of the Renaissance truss rod adjustment key? Nothing metric fits...

 

The one on my Renaissance guitar is 9/64”

 

Thanks, sounds like bass is the same - that's 3.57mm and 4mm is too big, 3mm too small, and the 3.5mm key I have is actually only 3.3mm and that's also too small. Off to fleabay for a 9/64...
