My lord that is glorious

 

[Basdyret]

Haha, WOW... what is that called? The Violin Concept???

 

[ChrisDev]

This was a custom request. On the website it's under "Custom" model.
If more people ask for this model, then we"ll have to look for a name, but for the moment it's just "Violin bass"
The customer ordered 2 of these and donated one to the MET in New York.

Wow. That's the only Ritter I've ever found visually appealing.

Hi there, sharing some solo-bass song; this time dedicated to the memory of my grandma Olga. I hope you like it:

 

[Basdyret]

Beautiful. You make very good use of the looper.

I can't wait for the kids to grow up so I can start practising again...

Visiting Jens in Deidesheim in a couple of weeks. Funny thing is - I spent a year and a half in the nearby town of Kaiserslautern, where Jens is currently having a museum show. Check it out:



I know it's a guitar not a bass, but still pretty cool...

Nice, it's been a while since this thread has been up. Anybody has something one the way from Jens?

 

[BassHappy]

Just an update - I was in Deidesheim for a week at the end of October and Jens was the perfect host! He gave us a wonderful grand tour of the winery/shop and we had several meals together. He also got his friend who is a Michelin Star Chef to make a special menu and prepare a birthday lunch for my wife, which Jens and his girlfriend attended with us. He also made reservations at local restaurants for us and suggested lots of things to do. One was a visit to a place that makes healing and digestive vinegars.

We went to the museum in Kaiserslautern and saw his amazing exhibit there. Jens is such a good guy. I only play medium scalers so he had a customer/friend loan his back so I would have a Ritter to check out while I was there.

Didn't order anything, but we talked about something really special which won't be possible for him to even think about until late 2016 at the earliest. I have to say, we had a remarkable time and I love Jens - what an incredible craftsman and a super great guy:

Not me, but one of my students is waiting for this one:

I like this new one from Jens

Man these are all so glorious but I think it would look out of place, me playing one in a power metal band! I'd also be too scared to take it on the road.

This could work, no?

 

[NeonVomit]

Oh that looks awesome! I'd ideally want something with a quilted maple top and translucent finish (I want an oceanic-themed bass) it's just it would cost me about 5 months' worth of income and I'd be terrified of taking it on the road! But yeah maybe something like that could work!

Sell your organs, you will use them less than a Ritter!

My R8 concept enter production in March, hope you will like it!
3 woods combination, Opal Inlay, two colors, Concept model, Unique controls.....


Any other Ritter's users in production?

 

[BassHappy]

If you haven't seen these yet, and you are interested Jens finish techniques, they are a hoot and definitely worth a look.
