    Some of you here may remember the lovely, and very talented, Vic Davies - store manager at BassGear until his untimely passing way too young. Vic’s personal dream Ritter was finished just before we lost him 6 years ago and he has now been commemorated by special, and unique, new instrument: A Cora bass named “The Victor”. It is an absolutely stunning instrument and with a core frosted black theme, white hardware, an amazing ‘dirty Ebony’ fingerboard and a meaty, overwound, humbucker, I just know Vic would be overjoyed with this special tribute ❤️ Full details here: https://ritter-instruments.com/instrument.php?id=2208

    I think the most I’ve ever paid was £6,500 - I sold it for just over £12,000 though so it was a pretty good ‘economic’ purchase 😂 In recent years I’ve bought one at £5,000 but I’ve been recently looking at something that’s around £8,500.

    I don’t think they’ll be over here until January. Looks like a great spec though!

    Completely forgot that I put this up for sale! How about a big drop to £575?

    Beautiful ❤️

    It really doesn’t. Building an e-commerce site and setting up stock control within the site is really simple using modern templates and something like Woocommerce. Anyone with a basic grasp of Wordpress could do this for a few hundred quid.

    If it’s the same one (and it looks like plus the weight is identical) then it was one we imported directly from Japan. It was on the wall at LBGS in the year when we had Roger Sadowsky as a guest. Roger explained to me why it was a little heavier than many of his Metro models. Because it was designed to look and feel like a classic late 70’s Marcus Miller type thing, he specified solid body ash to keep that big punch tone these were renowned for. They were a relatively short run and classified as Ultra Vintage 70’s if memory serves me well. At the show Roger was approached by Alex Al who had some shopping issues and had arrived without a bass. At the time he had played with people like Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon etc. He had the pick of all the instruments on our stand and Roger chose this one specifically for him as he felt it the closest representation of a classic/vintage Sadowsky tone and would match Alex’s style of playing. We had maybe 5-6 Metros on the stand and 3-4 NYCs so it was quite an endorsement to have Roger himself selecting it for the live performance from a top session guy.

    This looks remarkably like the one we had at BassGear. If so then I know a little history on it

    I have to say that I can’t rate Will at Bass Bross highly enough. Friendly, responsive, takes great pics of the gear he has for sale, promotes on Reverb with global coverage etc. Payment for goods sold often arrives the same day - sometimes within the same hour as something leaving his store!

    I’ve seen the insides of a BF cab, certainly some ‘interesting’ build techniques going on in there 😂

    Reduced to £2,150 - very good price for an instrument made to Fender Custom Shop build quality. Open to trade offers for anything that might be relatively easy to sell in the future - Fender J’s or P’s for USA or Japan, Stingrays etc.

    The ‘Swiss army knife’ of basses - great for a gigging player who needs fast access to different sounds on a single gig!

    I had both 😂 The ‘Chuck’ was a tobacco burst. I think went to Scandinavia.

    I love Jimmy’s KBP series. I had one that was made for Chuck Rainey for a while but, foolishly, sold it 🤦‍♂️

    My ‘68J sold today so I can afford to move on price a bit for this one. Open to offers either directly here or through Will at BassBross. Sale will go through Will so that allows a few purchasing and PX options.

    I've gigged one of these many times. Great little tool and a near-perfect combination of price / power / tone / flexibility.

    I watched the whole launch presentation. It came across as very much a trade launch, designed to inspire and build confidence amongst the global distributor base. I’ve attended many similar affairs and they always come across as a bit dry but they’re not really targeting end consumers. As far as the cabs go, anything that reduces weight but maintains tonal integrity is a good thing for me. Where they’re made makes no difference as far as I’m concerned. The Indonesian build quality has always been excellent and, in very general terms, I’d normally opt for quality far-eastern electronics than those manufactured in a lot of European countries. Certainly more eco-friendly to have them made in Europe if that’s where the bulk of sales are (I have no idea of their market by market sales though). Definitely intrigued to hear them when they make their way into UK stores

    Just like a classic P bass should 😉
