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.

Not that of a mystery! He stained the several layers of wood, glued them all togheter into a plywood, and then shaped into the desired form I guess!![]()

Did you sell your Ritter and was it #0347?
