Ritter Owners Club (Part 2)

[ChrisDev]

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!

Have you heard back from the BassGear yet? They handle all the request for the UK, but I gave them some of the information you asked in your email.
This finish was one of the suggestions I made, which I think is very "ocean-like":

But I liked your idea too. It's a wood/finish combination we've never tried before.

I was about to say 'woah that's creepy, how did you know that was me?!' until I realised I have my email on here as well and it's simple to put 2 and 2 together Haven't heard anything yet though. It's been my dream to have a nautical-themed bass made, something that speaks of the ocean - a lot of our songs are about the sea, pirates, naval battles, ghost ships, etc. so it's a big part of my identity as a musician! Something that will look like the waves with a bit of mystery as well.

Are there other basses with this sort of long round-bulby top horn and a short pointy bottom horn?

 

[BoogieZK]

You mean from Ritter?

 

[DLemos]

More so from other companies. I am wondering if Jens was the first to produce basses incorporating this design.

WHo belong a seal here ???? this shape is very good and it's very rare to see one ! If i would go again to make me again a Ritter Bass it would be this one or a r8 concept, those basses are unique.

You will have other boutique or luthier like Pedulla, Thompson, Adamovic, Wynn... there is list somewhere on this forum.

 

[auvergne81]

So Guillaume you commanded a new Ritter ?

[BoogieZK]

Yep! It's a R8 singlecut concept with 3 types of wood and a special feature !

Actually Electronic controls are unique and a single inlay !

I'm keeping the secret here a bit!

Can't wait to see what Ritter does with those woods!

[Basdyret]

Wow - yes so do I...! I'd live without the ramp, though. Do you have a front pic?

 

[ChrisDev]

The link is under the pic

The ramp is part of the Concept design. But, as you can see in the above pic, (between neck PU and neck) it can be lowered.
