I asked Jens about that and the coils are stacked. If you look at it from the top, you will only see 2 rows.
Also, if an instrument has a low B, the truss rod isn't exactly in the middle.
Nice!!!!
That color combination is just too cool. You have a really funky, but classy looking bass on your hands. Enjoy it!
Dave, I can only say one thing - WOW !! 
That bass looks INSANE with close up quality pics like that...!
I'm very jealous, but at the same time inspired even more to get another Ritter...

Here are some 'nicer' shots of 0927:
That color combo is the bomb. Is that the fuzzy toy finish or whatever?

Man, that is fantastic looking!
I'm in love with the orange hardware!
^It doesn't seem like the tightest neck pocket on the B string side. It actually looks like the taper on the neck doesn't match the taper of the body and the gap widens towards the back of the bass.
Is that normal? Maybe it's just the angle but I see it in two seperate pictures.

Just the result of angles, lighting and a wide angle lens. I haven't had this neck off, but it's very similar in look to my other Ritter and it's neck fits beautifully, not too lose, not too tight. Then there's the matter of the 9 neck screws......
If you have a Ritter or have had the chance to look at one close hand you'll know just how good the fit and finish is.
I have never owned or played a Ritter. I would expect them to be relatively close to perfect that's why I asked the question without assuming it is a real issue and not just the shots.
In any case it "looks" like a fairly large space in the pictures especially the one of the upper horn.
I am not criticizing, it looks like a beautiful instrument.
Edit: Isn't it 10 neck screws?
That's gotta be one of my favorite Ritters. I gig regularly with a boutique bass that sounds and feels amazing, but sometimes I wonder if it looks a bit out of place. Something like that would definitely bridge the gap. Not that I have anywhere near the money to get another bass.

My bad - 10 it is!
I'm not taking your observation as criticism of the bass. It is always good to discuss basses. Both my Ritters have similar 'gaps' where the neck meets the body, but I can understand where you're coming from from the pics.
5 days into my new Ritter ownership and this thing is awesome. I realise I'm still in the honeymoon period, but 'The Blue Orange' plays like a dream and sounds awesome. I'm really digging the simplicity of the two band pre. I've gigged it with my rock band and tonight I rehearsed in my big band and in two quite different setting this bass did really well.
Cheers mate, much appreciated!
Am I the only one envisioning my own wacky colour schemes for the frosted finish?
