This is a Very High Quality Professional Custom made 4 String Electric Bass Guitar, Black in Brand New Condition. This Guitar is All Hand-Craft work and provides Highest Quality Sound.

I'm not too big of a fan of Ritter basses, but this is ridiculous...

I don't think it's as custom as the poster says it is.

Almost feel sorry for whoever decides to buy this.

Very old news - links to eBay auctions for that bass has been posted hundreds of times here on TB

Actually, some say it's fairly decent, but I wouldn't own it - probably because Ritter basses IS my thing

And a beautiful thing it is...
On your Platinum Roya, which I love, is the volute excessively large, I just noticed it.

They are nice basses though, I just wouldn't use one heh...

I own one myself. They are awesome. I would put them up against any Ritter out there. I am confident that the tone and playability is every bit as good as a Ritter, for a 20th of the price. I would never spend that much on a Ritter when I could buy something identical to it in every way.



This post was, of course, just to ruffle the feathers of you Ritter players. I am very jealous of you and I had to use my one opportunity to get back at you for owning better basses than me.

Last time I saw a fake Ritter on ebay,a fellow Warwick forum member emailed Jens,who bought it & iirc,burnt it.

I don't know, they are asking $208.99, doesn't seem like they are trying to fool anybody.

Yeah, how surprising that someone would rip off another manufacturers design....
Hope it never happens to the Fender Jazz...........

what a french curve nightmare that is. Curvy i get, and curvy can be good, but there IS such a thing as too damn curvy. At least with basses.

good ole' K-TONE guitars...

where's the "facepalm", the "lol-x10" and the "OMG yet another KTONE thread" smiley?

Ktone also makes the silly machinegunBass also, and I played a demo and broke the "gunsight off" ( I think it was already broke, just waiting for me to get blamed for it )...never the less, I had to purchase it for 125.00, it actually played ok with a straight neck with a fretjob that actually was decent but the tone was not a "good tone", it was a KTONE, and it sucked... I sold it to someone who wanted the neck, and I'm sorry I don't have any pics of the Franken-KTone bass it turned out to be to show you

That's what I was thinking. I don't see anything "ridiculous" about it.

Clicked the link and didn't see a fake Ritter. There isn't even the word Ritter on the whole ad.

I SAW THAT NEW OPTION gobbass!!!!...kill setting only, as anyone who wants to use one of their guitars in a band setting will be killed by the other members of the band sometime before the 6th or 7th note is played on it..

I assure you I would have been dragged to jail before I bought that thing!

eh, I wasn't worried about it, since I really wanted to buy something I could call a real "toy"...ended up with that toy, but like I said it actually had a good neck, good frets, just the pup was junk....but for a little over 100, you know what everyone does with their 100.00 Rondo basses..

the same thing..good body/neck/frets, and they instantly change the pup to get it to "play good song"...

p.s. I'm glad the gunsight broke, as it was in the way anyway and causing massive neck dive
