The World's Most Beautiful Fretless Basses ...

[DanielleMuscato]

Where's that 6-string MTD Marilyn that was in the classifieds awhile back?

I'd also like to see that platinum-leaf Ritter here

Thank you for posting a normal-looking bass!!!! Just my opinion, but I'm not really diggin the boutique basses, mainly the one posted by nemo Sorry!!!

One of the best fretless basses I have ever played, and only cost me £90! Talk about a steal! I was after something to give me that classic fretless jazz sound and this delivers!

WOW.. That Sai is just beautiful!!!

Jason.. Is that one of Dave Pushic's basses?

Waits for the pics of the beautiful grey Ritter....

 

[Papersen]

Don`t know if it`s THE most beautiful, but certainly one of my favs:

The Plat Ritter with the diamond inlay is missing here.

What is that thing made of? It looks like some ceramic stuff my friend makes.

That finish is really interesting.

I may be in the minority, but the ritter doesn't do it for me.
Especially getting tired of "5 pics in every thread where it appears"

That Drozd just kills me every time I see it, though.

those blue strings look awesome on that.

+1

It doesn't hold a great appeal to me. While being very expensive, and aside from the diamond inlay, it always looks a bit like a low grade shop class project. I'm sure it brings the owner great happiness though.

OK, I'm here, we can now close the thread.

+1 for the Pagelli and the Ritter.

Always liked the top on that one.

I will add, that I love that folks have basses they are in love with and think are the most beautiful - even the platinum Ritter

There are some real stunners in this thread.
I can't honestly say my GWB1 is the worlds' most beautiful fretless - only the best-playing

Indeed, as long as a bass makes it's owner happy, thats all that is important. As for the Ritter, I tried to like it, I might even have liked it at first, but I'm perhaps a little overexposed now!

Fantastic...other than the knobs...they kinda kill it for me.

I am curious about how those tuning machines sticking out of the back of the body on the Ritter impact wearing the instrument. It appears that if you move any you'd run the risk of either hurting yourself or detuning the thing.
