Turner Artists

Fleetwood Mac

For the 2003 'Say You Will Tour', Lindsey Buckingham used two Renaissance RS-6's with Roland VG 8 Systems, and RS-12 and an RS-6-B baritone which was also set up for him with a Roland system by Rick Turner. The Roland VG 8 system was also installed by Rick in one of Lindsey's Model 1's.

John McVie's main bass is now an electroline solid body 4-string (model ELS-434 PM2), with an olied swamp ash body, two Turner low noise magnetic soapbar pickups and the Turner piezo equipped Hipshot bridge. John recorded the entire 'Say You Will' album with that bass, and he also used a fretless version for the tour. John also has a Renaissance RB-4 fretted semi-hollow (used on 'The Dance' video) with Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Roundwounds and earlier in 2003 ordered the fretless unlined version of this superb bass.
