Jens does it again!

Looks like a case of "magic marker graffiti while eating space cakes"...

I'm still deciding what to feel about this one...

I don't normally fancy his Seal models, but this one completely blows me away

I wonder how much a 4 string version costs...

 

[Adam Barkley]

Don't like the first one, but the last two have it going on aestetically.

I wish I could try one, but for the tones I like it would be like using a cannon to smash a mosquito.

 

[Indi86]

Must... have... the second one!!!

 

[Osama_Spears]

I really dig the magic marker one

Same here. Out of all of them, I probably like it the most.

 

[Zirc]

Yeah that 2nd one is really sexy.

What kind of bass is that?

Never mind, found the website from Image Properties.

I've never heard of Jens Ritter before, can someone clue me in? This look freaking cool!

 

[Jonathan Starr]

This Jens is way cool. I've never been aware of his work before. I love it!

Aloha,

Jonathan

 

[Peter Squire]

Yep, some of those look really cool. Wonder how strong those upper horns are though - I could see it snapping off pretty easily

 

[ChiliPepper]

This Jens is way cool. I've never been aware of his work before. I love it!

Aloha,

Yes he makes some nice basses Check out this [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] JT is doing a review of this [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Jens is outta control. Simply beautiful work..

 

[Brendan]

These basses are almost painfully beautiful. Jens is, without doubt, making the most artistically satisfying basses out there.

I want a Graffiti and the Seal. I'd kill several people for the Graffiti.

Without question! This guy is truely a master of his craft.

 

[Andy Brown]

Has anyone here played a Ritter that might attest to the feel and tone of these basses? I know John Turner is doing a review, but anyone here with day-to-day practical experience?

I really like the avant garde approach he's taking to style, but to me, Ritter basses look more like works of art than functional axes (I know they are fully functional, and probably wonderful to play of course)... sort of reminds me of auto shows where they display one-off concept cars that never materialize. I'd be very afraid to take one to a gig.

I (and probably a few other UK Talkbassers) have tried this fretted 5 at the Bass Gallery in London:

Both Ritters have been sitting there for a few months now.

It's been a couple of months since I tried it, but I thought the fretted Ritter was a great-playing and sounding bass (very tonally versatile). My recollection is that the fretboard was flat and wide. Construction was, as you would expect, of the very, very best quality.

I didn't get to try a fretless Ritter.

 

[MAJOR METAL]

Fascinating!

 

[Indi86]

I couldn't find the second one on his website. Could anybody clue me in as to what model it is/ what gallery it's from?
