Since this thread was started I've been visiting the Ritter website more often. Don't need another bass, can't afford one right now, don't gig enough to justify such a purchase, but I do find myself gassing for one of his 'regular' price instruments. The Roya is cool but the asymmetric Okon is the one that grabs me. I can see using it in a Blues-rock band. Never played one so it's an unknown whether I'd even like it, but hey...it's fun to dream. And dream we will.
