Those are amazing. I doubt if I will ever be lucky enough to justify one of those, but there's no harm dreaming. Those finishes are just beautiful. I also like his idea of sticking completely different bits of wood together for the bodies. It shouldn't work - but the way he does it - it does.

Jen's latest series of basses are now up on his web-site. There sure are some interesting finishes there! I love that copper Jupiter! Here's the link and some highlights: follow the link for more basses and more detailed shots.

jens imagination is endless..

Me, I'm scarred for life...ever since I owned #641 most basses feel heavy, slow, and dull.

 

[Brian Barrett]

First two are mine and the Copper Jupiter is the one I showed earlier on in this thread. It turned out nice, can't wait to destress it by self. The Flying Blue .... I almost died when I saw that bass.... WOW. Jens Artistic ability is equal to what an amazing person he is.

hands off at NAMM fella's............

the GC Ritter was Used, it was a Buckeye top Roya 5 string. It had been listed for 5500 for a month or so and they dropped it to 1999 to move and took a loss. It was a Crazy deal, the Manager told me it went to Washington state.

 

[Basdyret]

YES...!! The new Ritters are finally up...!!

I LOVE your copper bass, Brian - but I'm also completely blown away by The Flying Blue... Now, THAT'S the way to use to pieces of wood for a body!!!

Oh, and my bass is also finally up... guess we solved the mystery about serial numbers, as it has "Boeing" #737

Here it is...!

It'll complement the Platinum wonderfully...! Now just for that month's wait until it's here (my fault, not Jens').

Oh, and he's making fretted Concepts now... lucky they don't appeal to me...

(I'd wish... )

Hello Cameron - and welcome to the owners club!

You have number 22 with your Roya #306, I'll update the list on the former page. You have one of the rare Ritters with stock Barts, it seems, and one of my personal favorite finishes to boot - nice bass...!

 

[Petebass]

Cameron that finish is indeed AWESOME!!! Congtrats on a great bass!!!!

Hi all,
just got #349 (Ritter Classic 5) used from a nice guy from the North of Germany and I must say its quality is level with my WALs. Fantastic instrument!
Cheers Oliver

Hello Oliver - and welcome to the owners' club!

You have a very nice bass there, and the finish is just beautiful. That deep blue finish over the flamed maple looks fabulous, and it's a great touch that the finish covers the entire bass.

You and your bass are in as #23

 

[Basdyret]

I finally got my bass...!! The Roya 5 is here Man, what a pair I have now, it just makes everything else seem redundant to me... I'm even considering letting the old Fenders go, but I'll wait for a few months and see if I come to my senses

Here are the specs again:

Body - Purpleheart
Top - Birds eye maple
Neck - Limba (was expecting maple, but this is great!)
Fretboard - Purple Kingwood
Pickups - Ritter Triplebuckers
Electronics - Ritter Master electronics
Hardware - Gotoh custom Ritter gold
Matching headstock
24 frets

Pictures !

I finally got my bass...!!

Very nice: understated, but very classy!

Very nice: understated, but very classy!

Thanks...! That's exactly what I was going for with it

But I promise, if I can afford another Ritter in the future, it will be craaazy

 

[Thunderitter]

I posted these on the Bass Photography thread, but thought I should post these shots of my Roya here too! You don't get too many shots of the back of a Ritter, but it's a work of art too IMHO, but I would say that!

 

[Basdyret]

Mmmhhh... very nice...!

Now, I think I have to borrow a good camera soon... my own is in Japan for a while

Thanks! These were taken with a Nikon D100, which these days is pretty out of date, but still does the business.
