He did send me a certificate, which says it was built in 9/2003 IIRC. Not sure how that fits in. Not that it matters much--the bass is in fantastic condition and a fantastic player (thanks Brian!). It's 34" scale, which is relatively rare for a Ritter. I'm still not comfortable w/the strings I have on it (F Bass exposed cores). I think I'll try some light gauge Fodera nickels next.


I have a 2002 Classic five and it has the different style of serial number. Mine's a 34" inch scale too. I'm not sure when he switched to the new serial number system.

My favourite Ritters so far are definitly the birthday series Jens put out, Brian Barret sold one of these

out of this world.

Can't wait to be able to order one again :(

:eek: The top of that looks like silk!


Jens' finishes are amazing. I hope I can afford one some day. Some of his basses just make my jaw drop - literally!
 
jordanm, welcome to the club! shoot me a message with the serial later if you want!


Does anyone mind the whole serial number thing? I tought it would be interesting to not only gather the Ritter users, but also to serve as a tracker for some of these instruments :)
 
...I'd be pretty suprised if Jens had made two #0347s!

Did you sell your Ritter and was it #0347?

Sorry should have clarified. I got the WRONG certification with my bass. But now that I'm home the serial number stated on it is 2402 RO 5 ES. If this is anyones let me know you can have the cert if you want it. It pretty much identical to yours though accept the woods are slightly different I believe.. I swear the pic of it looked spalt, but I can't find a pic of it ;)

Swamp Ash/Quilt maple top, Roya in honey orange, Maple neck 34" Bart JB's in the bridge and neck. Prod dated Jan 03' I think it was sold from Ed Romans site.

Serial number stated on mine is CL 4 KV 807 Seems backwards compared to the rest of them. I dont think its gonna get mixed up though lol
