    I suppose it depends on how you feel about that level of spend. 
     

    I’m delighted with the big sky albeit I bought it to use with Chapman Stick rather than bass. Every band I play stick in commented on the sound and I’ve had audience members coming up to chat about it as well. 
    I have literally only scratched the surface of what it can do but I won’t be selling it anytime soon if ever. 
     

    I had started out thinking I would get a Boss RV 5 because I liked that modulated reverb feedback that it does but the big sky takes it to a whole different level.

    I bought mine on eBay- absolutely as new condition, boxed etc. and I think I paid about £280 so you could save yourself a bit of cash that way too.

    Thank you,

    gonna keep an eye on the second hand market

    I love the sound and I will be using it mainly with a fretless

    Hi there. Any users here of the big sky or ex user?

    Is it worth the 400+ or can you actually save some coins and get something similar?

    big sky sounds awesome just not sure what is competitors are and also I'm trying to convince my self into getting one

    Thank you

    The price.  Labour is an awful lot cheaper in the Far East and labour accounts for much of the cost of a bass.  Add to that running costs, warehouse space costs e.t.c. compared to UK/US/Canada.  You would expect a bass in the Far East to be cheaper as it cost the company less to build them.  You mention Dingwall, look at them as a comparison.  The Combustion range has all Canadian woods and electrics, the entire vibe of Dingwall and all the tone, the NG series is their most popular bass and is fantastic.  Yet, Dingwall chose to build them in the Far East to save cost and sell for half the price of their Canadian models.  They've nailed the business model, Standberg have sadly swung and missed.

    Yeah I get it it but.... They have decided to do a cheaper model and that's the reason why

    quality obviosly differ one Dingwall to the other, otherwise wherever they were built they would be slightly cheaper

    That's the reason you pay 5k for a mtd dingwall 6k for a fodera and all the other instrument so they price in my opinion is reflected in the price

    Again this is only my opinion

    I think £2500 is a fair price for a great instrument  no matter were it was built if quality is there I see no problem

    Then people can argue that they prefer usa European built instruments over any other country,.

    Like I ve said in my previous post...

    I ve played 4 strandberg,

    my friend lend me a prog 5

    which I had at least for 3 month while I was having my other bass built

    I was so excited to go and pick my custom built which came close to 3k

    Went home started to play and I actually cried! Wasn't Half as comfortable as the strandberg

    the endurneck on the strandberg is amazing the build quality amazing and

    the bass disappeared in your hands

    after few minutes you forget you have a bass in your hands

    IMO no one beats the strandberg comfort and playability

    The rivals for me are Dingwall which in comfort and playability its second on my list

    Regarding the country of manufacture.....

    What's tge difference of strandberg built in the far east on cnc or a Dingwall built in Canada by cnc? I honestly see no difference

    Hi guys just read that Jens ritter is discounting is available instruments and custom built at 20%

    Great things to do!

    Here what he say

    Dear customers and friends,

    I always lived a free life and pursued a vocation that fulfills me, in which I can be creative and travel the world. Until now - being locked up at home because of the Covid-19 situation. Out of frustration of not being able to help infected people as I'm not a doctor nor a nurse, I have decided to become involved in my own way:

    Starting today the prices of my available instruments and all custom orders will be reduced by 20% for the time of the lock-down! My hope is to collect as much money as possible of which I will donate 20% to the non-profit organization "Save the Children e.V." to support their current charity, which cares for needy children and their families with a Corona virus infection.

    If you were planning to buy an available RIitter instrument or have one custom made for you - now is the time to finally do it! You will get your instrument at a great price and you will support the fight against Covid-19 and you can look forward to receiving a special treasure when this disastrous situation is over!

    Pictures of available instruments @ https://ritter-instruments.com/available.php
    For a custom order quote please send me an email at: [email protected]

    In order to make the waiting time a little more bearable, I have 2 book recommendations for you:

    THE BEAST OF DRACHENFELLS (by Greg Bozzetti)
    This interactive novella is rather special because it takes place in my hometown and people familiar with my work and instruments will definitely enjoy it!
    You can download it for free at: http://kallias.com/books/UtasChroniclePart1.pdf

    RAILROAD BLUES (by Pete Townsend)
    If you fancy visiting exotic locations, read about kidnapping, a superb guitar and a host of questionable characters - then head over to Amazon for an everyday story of love, life and the blues or download it for free at: http://petetownsend.co.uk/

    Stay safe!
