Hi All,
I picked up this bass here on TB in 2011. Now that I'm having kiddos I dont play like I used to. This bass is an absolute monster. I love it, but I just don't need something of this value aging in my closet. I'm looking to trade down. I'm not opposed to an outright sale, but I'll be looking for $3500 cash. I'd love to find a Warwick Dolphin. I regret the one I sold. I'm attaching the original description, it's better than what I'd put together:
This is a Ritter classic 5 spalted maple and piano black finish made in 2003. The bass was damaged in shipping long before it came into my possession and was professionally repaired. I forget the name of the shop that did the work, but can probably do some research and find out the name if anyone cares. The upper horn was snapped off and the face was crunched by the input jack. The repairs to these two spots were extremely well done and are only noticeable upon close inspection. The one other disclosure on the bass is the back cap on one machine gear is missing. The tuner works fine, but the cap is gone. I've played this bass as my main instrument for the past 2 years and have full confidence in it, structurally and soundwise.
It's a nitro finish and there is some crazing as is typical for nitro, but overall, the bass is in very good condition. Posting some pics here and will gladly supply closeups of the repairs for anyone interested.
Tonewise, very versatile, 3 band EQ, active/passive, Ritter masterbar p'ups. Greatly surpassed my Modulus and Alembics as far as tone, IMHO. Great player, thick tonality, an absolute joy to play.
Comes with a Ritter bag and her birth certificate. Not really interested in an outright sale, but if i did go that route, would be somewhere between $2500 - $3000
Don't let the previous damage scare you, the bass is solid as a rock. I just believe in full disclosure and expect the same from anyone offering a trade. Here's a few pics, feel free to ask any questions and more detailed pics can be had for those seriously interested.
