This Turner Electroline has the 18v piezo system these basses are well known for. The sound is very detailed, broad, and "has everything" - sculpting your sound is just a matter of removing the frequencies you're accustomed to missing with magnetic pickups. No controls on the surface of this bass - control everything with your hands and an amp or maybe an outboard preamp.

This bass looks "just black" in the photos, but in person it's actually a very nice transparent black; it's just very difficult to photograph! The swamp ash body is really lovely and the grain is subtly visible. This bass has been gigged a lot and has its share of bumps and marks, but it sounds and plays really nicely.

Currently strung with pressurewound strings (meh) but you can use any kind of string you like. All the photos were taken with an iphone SE & natural light, no fancy editing. I tried to choose photos that look as close as possible to what this bass looks like in person.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll try my best to answer.

I'll split shipping with the buyer, but only USA buyers please.

Thank you!

Without ever intentionally deciding to become a "collector," since the late 80s I started buying Rick Turner instruments whenever I came across one that I liked - Electroline basses, Model 1 guitars and basses, etc. But now it's time to find all my instruments new homes, so I actually have three Electrolines listed in the classifieds all at the same time. If anyone wants more than one of them I'm open to deals like "buy one, get the second at 50% off" or "buy two, get one free." Like buying bags of potato chips or something.

I re-read the classifieds FAQs to make sure I'm not breaking any rules with this post (I'm not, right?), but if this is inappropriate I will delete this post immediately. Thank you!
