Musikmesse - bassporn

Jens Ritter is the best export from Germany since Franz Beckenbauer!!!

while I was a great fan of Kaiser Franz during his soccer heyday, I seem to remember he didn't perform all that well with NY Cosmos - guess he was to busy chasin skirt with his buddy Pele.

Something like Beckham now, except he's not chasin skirt, he's too busy counting his money !

Laurus bodies look a lot like boxy Ritter bodies.

interesting, I actually don't see any similarities between the two designs.

There's a copy of a Framus EUB lurking in the back of the Warwick shot. That was perhaps the weirdest bass I have ever owned.

I definitely like those Ritters, but OMG that Dolphin 5 is GORGEOUS. A Dolphin was the very first bass I ever played, so I have a soft spot.

Ritter Roya and Dolphin added to my G.A.S. list!

Isn't that Warwick hollow body the Helborg sig?

 

[Basdyret]

been wandering around at Musikmesse...

some bassporn for you guys and girls

Man, my Roya should have been standing there...!! It was pushed ahead in the line when I ordered it, because Jens wanted to bring it to the Musikmesse... But he didn't make it in time

Thanks very much for the pics, though, I'm happy to see nothing that looks better than my mental image of my Roya 5

that hollow body Warwick is beautiful

Mr. OldogNewTrick, you are very very bad for teasing us all like this!

Thanks!

Special kudos to Mr. Human Base, Siggi Jäger - this guy is so humble and unpretentious, yet he builds truly world class basses

 

[OldogNewTrick]

I'd love to use one of these daily

 

[OldogNewTrick]

Luckily for me Stefan Hergenröder was on hand at the Human Base booth helping me choose between maple and walnut.

for perspective, Stefan let me play his BaseX 5 fretless (birdseye maple fretboard, strung with groundwounds)

That's not a Framus, It's a Warwick Triumph, It's an update of the old Framus design, They are making and selling them now.

What was so weird about the Framus that you owned?

 

[OldogNewTrick]

That's not a Framus, It's a Warwick Triumph, It's an update of the old Framus design, They are making and selling them now.

I believe, that's where it all started for HP Wilfer with Warwick, Framus being his father's company. They exhibited a remake of the Nobby Meidel headless paddle bass...
