Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
Gorgeous "upright"-style tones from a lightweight and beautiful fretless. Transitioning seamlessly from amplified electric fretless sounds to more traditional double-bass sounds, this RB4 can cover a myriad of styles and sounds without missing a beat! And with a freshly planed fingerboard, courtesy of our in-house luthier, this instrument is playing as smooth as ever!
SP Luthier Notes: Fingerboard plane and setup
From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)
The Renaissance series delivers a much broader frequency range than traditional basses. Models include a four-string 34" scale and a five-string and six-string 35" scale with fretted or fretless fingerboards. Thomastik-Infeld Acousticore or Jazz Flatwound strings deliver melodic, punchy tones right down to a thunderous low B. All in a bass weighing in at less than 5.5 pounds!
Constructed like true acoustic instruments, with bent sides and a braced tone wood top and back, the Renaissance series truly represents the best way to achieve acoustic tone plugged in.
The construction feature that sets our instruments apart is the Western Red Cedar center block that prevents feedback and yet provides an acoustically live foundation for the D-TAR Timberline pickup system.
All Renaissance Series instruments feature D-TAR Wavelength, 18-volt preamp and our own Turner Timberline coaxial piezo pick-up system which produces a full-frequency amplified acoustic tone. Our unique instruments are perfect for recording and live performance under any conditions, and they have proven roadworthy around the world.
