Ritter Zephyr

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi,

iam currently selling my Ritter Zephyr Bass

http://www.ritter-royals.com/detail-...res-zephyr.htm

http://www.ritter-basses.com/ritter-...0546/popup.php

This is a beautiful sounding Bass. The only reason i sell this one is that i can't use it in my Music. It is made for 6+ Strings, so the Bass is nearly unused

It is made out of one piece of wood, is extremely light, it has no magnetic pickups, only piezos.

This bass is a part from the Ritter Royals, those are the very exclusive Basses from the Luthier Jens Ritter. There wont be a 2nd of this bass

Price is 6000€ or 7393$ + shipping

Iam from germany and you're always welcome to ask some questions about that

cheers

Daniel

Hehe It is, and i never heared such a fretless sound. Once i played a F-Bass, which is well known for the great fretless sound, but i took the Ritter, cause it really killed the F-Bass

God knows i knew this one already, and it's been my DREAM fretless bass... But i'd rather buy an Imperial out of 6000€

Good luck for the sale and back to the top, this is HUGE, and unique...

It is always a question of taste, i don't like the fodera imperial that much so to me this is the best fretless i've ever played. But in this price category i've never really played crap, it is only a question of taste.

Here some actual pics of the bass. But the quality is not as good as on the website

But to proof that it's real

What a stunning bass! Is there any spring on the lower horn, or is it solid?

The lower horn is solid. The Metal is not that thick, so it is a litte flexible, but only with force So the concept is beeing solid and i guess Jens Ritter did that to save weight, thisbass is very very lightweight. By the way, it has no volume knob, you plug it in and there it is But on the back you have a 3band EQ and a Tone. Those 4 little screws on the back

Yesterday i asked about shipping and it is more epensive then i thought. So shipping this bass with insurance (6000Euro) costs 360€. That means now that i change it a bit. The bass now costs 6000 Euro + 180 shipping. I pay the other 180 for shipping, 'cause i think the price for that is too high. Oh, and the bass comes with a hard case, i can put some pics online with the bass in the case, if somebody needs it

cheers

I have a left testicle that I'm not currently using that I'd be happy to toss in for a deal. In fact, I'll go for both...... WHAT A BASS!

I do also own a second Ritter, which is custom made ( so i use this one a lot). The Zephyr has such a great sound and i really wasn't sure to sell it, but i can't use it, and it is waste of grandness to have an insturment like that here, without playing it

I't be happy if someone would buy and play it
