[quote name='Spoombung' post='1080339' date='Jan 6 2011, 08:54 PM']It's possible their customers may be trophy, art collector types rather than players if you know what I mean. Strange they don't get played much or seem conspicuous in bands - unlike equally expensive basses such as Alembics and the like.[/quote] Although there are collectors (there's someone with over 20 Ritter Basses) and even museums that buy Ritter Basses, most of the customers use them on stage. Jens has made around 500 instruments (+/- 450 are on his website). He finishes about 50 a year, so it's quite normal you don't see them that often. [quote name='EBS_freak' post='1080523' date='Jan 6 2011, 11:13 PM']I think you have hit the nail on the head. Having said that, the finishes in the flesh so to speak, aren't as impressive as they look in the photos. I always make a point of seeing Jen's stand at Frankfurt though... it's always good to see what craziness he has got up to! I love the fact that he handles his basses with white cotton gloves too![/quote] I think people sometimes expect too much. All in all it's just a bass. I like the finishes a lot. I liked to Cora when I saw the pictures, but when I received the bass and opened the case... just wow... I think it's even nicer "in the flesh". The same goes for my Roya. [quote name='xgsjx' post='1080916' date='Jan 7 2011, 01:04 PM']Funny you say that, Prince's bassist Josh Dunham helped design the Cora (not sure if he actually uses it tho )[/quote] Prince's, meanwhile former, bass player Josh is a really nice guy and a good friend of Jens. And yes, he plays his Ritter basses all the time. When he toured with Prince last year, he had several Ritter basses with him. I really like my 2 Ritter basses. There's even a 3rd custom Ritter coming This is my favorite of the new available basses If anyone has questions about Jens' instruments, PM me or post them here. I talk to Jens on a very regular basis (I'm his webmaster). Jens will be at the NAMM Show in Anaheim California from January 14th to 17th. Upstairs Hall C Booth #4182 .

[quote name='peted' post='162558' date='Mar 24 2008, 01:02 PM']WOW, Mike. That is a masterpiece.[/quote] An extremely beautiful masterpiece!!

Yep, a Vigier Passion II custom 6-string from 1991. Never played anything else until I discovered Fbass And yes, my rig is as tall as myself It just happened. First I had a Hartke 3500 with the Goliath 4x10, but I didn't get the deep lows I wanted, so I bought the 1x15 Then someone sold his Mo'Bass and I just couldn't resist. He had used it twice! On stage I often noticed "noise" through my speakers. Apparently it was caused by the (dimmer) spotlights, so I bought the Phonic PowerConditioner, but that didn't fit in my flightcase (3U for the mo'bass and 1U for the tuner)...well I had to buy a second flightcase On the other hand.... it took me 15 years to get to this monster As mentioned, when I have the money and after I buy myself a Lefay or second Fbass (maple instead of Macassar), I will replace the cabs with a 1x15 and a 2x10 Hevos

Some very nice gear in this topic!! The gear I use on stage. [attachment=9911:setup.jpg]
