Renaissance/Turner Basses Club

#426
Rethinking the whole fretless thing, after bandmates prefer the tone of other basses in my collection.
Now I wouldn't necessarily base my decision just on that, after all, I'm the bass player, am I not?
But basses that get played are the ones that stay in my collection, or else they get passed onto someone else.
As a result, my 4-string Turner Renaissance may be heading into classifieds soon.

Who has a recording of a fretless Electroline with Acousticores on it using just the piezo bridge?

I have thought a couple times about trying that... I have an old set of AcoustiCores I could throw on the fretless Electroline. Obviously it would render the magnetics useless, but I believe the 'reference' piezos embedded in the bridge saddles would be just fine solo'd.

I think -and I may be wrong here- but I think the blending electronics do go from 0-100% allowing you to hard pan to either source. We'll have to question @Rick Turner about that.

The more I think of an Electroline 5-17-34-P, the more I like it. Lam headtock w/ pickguard face, 0 fret, body truss. Pao ferro. Silver or graphite on alder/poplar. Think Rick would do SS frets?

I would think so... give him a call and ask. ;)

(831) 460-9144.

Thanks! :cool: That sounds great, I wonder if Rick would build an Electroline with just the piezo (and associated electronics)? As I suspected, it doesn't need magnetic pickups.

I get that a lot Spidey! :laugh: She comes along to every gig. Jeannie is a cute girl to be 2081 years old. (Barbara is only 85...)

Hmm, very dangerous! :thumbsup:

Good thing I've already spent the money on a few light fixtures from Arroyo Craftsman, to tide me over until the funds are replenished. :D

A fretless 4 string piezo only Standard in a nice deep wine red would fill the bill nicely. :cool:

Thanks!

Mine was built that way (no magnetic pickups) in 2001. There was a period where he couldn't get the Piezo material for the Electroline, but I think that is resolved. I only sold mine to buy my 150 year old upright. I LOVED that bass, but I needed the upright...
