Theres a few threads about this ritter in the general forum.

EDIT: Personally flowers are for women even if they are inlayed plus for me that inlay its just too much. O f course if someone want to give me that bass as a gift I will not argue at all

True, but it does add sparkle to your tone.

I agree with Wilser gold is a "top end" metal... for "mid hump", zirconium plated 316 stainless is THE go to metal.

Unfortunately, I'm still living in the world of die-cast aluminium
