    How does it balance on a strap? With such a light body weight, I’d be slightly concerned that it could be a little neck-heavy?

    Wow, this looks fabulous, love the colour!

    Wow, only just seen this. So sorry to hear about your back problems. I dread the day when/if it comes that I can’t play any more. Shame I can’t play fretless 😢

    Happy to help. I also spotted that the preamp is a John East Uni Pre, with passive tone. Also that it weighed 8.4lbs according to the Gallery. It really is a great gigging bass with that slim neck, light weight, LEDs, pickup flexibility and the East. I found you could get a huge variety of tones from it - perfect for a covers band player! I only sold it because I only ever gig my Ritters these days. I’ve got so used to the feel and neck profile now.

    I first saw it for sale back in April 2017. I think it had been listed via The Gallery from the first owner. It then reappeared in Dec 2020 and that’s when I agreed to buy it. I can’t for the life of me remember what the delay was but I took delivery in May 2021. I think that made me the 3rd owner.

    I owned this one for a while. Nice bass and the 33” scale makes it just that little bit easier to whizz around the neck

    It shouldn’t cost much to run. Ours is £9 a month(and that actually allows me to maintain 5 sites).

    So sad to hear this, one of my absolute favourite bassists. Always seemed to be able to get so much heartfelt emotion to even the simplest of parts. I adore his playing on this from John Martyn:

    Maybe the 1-String - I actually love the idea of this 😂

    Knirrir - whereabouts in Oxfordshire are you? I’m right down in the south in Henley

    I reckon the first batch was 4 and then we received another 4 about 18 months later. As far as I remember, all initial sales were in the UK (although we did sell a lot of instruments into Europe).

    We had the exclusive rights to sell these when they first came out. The biggest problem was getting hold of them. We more or less agreed to take every one that Joe could get to us but I don’t think we even made it into double figures. I’d say that if you got one for under a grand then you picked up a real bargain!

    I own a couple of Ritters and have 2 more on order. For me it’s the playability and feel. I can play stuff on my #1 Cora that I simply can’t play on other basses. I can come close of course but not quite in the same way as my Cora.

    I think the paint is probably 4-5 years old now but it’s been in a case and not played. We were planning to sand the neck back a little but decided to wait and it’s now checking as well. Neck must be 11 years, or more, since it was refinished.

    It took a good few years in the end - some of that was total inaction on my part though 😆
