I don't know exactly why Jens stopped using them, but I remenber him saying that he would use graphite necks again in the future

Yep, almost everything is possible. You can find more info here: https://ritter-instruments.com/stringspacing.php [quote]All other scales are available for Custom Orders[/quote]

Congrats!!!

Here's some more info and eetailed pics of the bridge [url="https://ritter-instruments.com/bridge.php"]https://ritter-instr....com/bridge.php[/url] [quote]This Bridge is adjustable in all 3 dimensions. It's made of heavy brass and completely lockable. Therefore a perfect conduction of the string oscillation is guaranteed.[/quote]

Dazed, I will upload some clips with different Ritter Basses from the brilliant Brazilian bass player Gianluca Girard in the coming weeks. Keep in mind that every instrument will sound different because of the different combination of woods en electronics. 19mm spacing is possible as a custom option on all basses. Both available basses at [url="http://www.bassgear.co.uk/product-category/bass-guitars/ritter/"]Bass Gear[/url] have slimbuckers.

New transcription online! The Source ft. Candi Staton - You've Got The Love | Bass Transcription

When I buy a bass, the first criterion is sound, then playability, then looks. I used to play in a coverband with a set ranging from the old James Brown stuff, to Avicii, to Rage against the machine. As I don't like switching basses on stage, I always took [url="https://ritter-instruments.com/item_info.php?i=415"]my Cora[/url]. And this one doesn't even have the most flexible electronics (active only [url="https://ritter-instruments.com/electronics-files/RITTER-C3-Electronics_Active.pdf"]C-3 electronics[/url] => mid tone cut/boost at a specific low-mid frequency). When my students ask about the sound of Ritter basses, I let them hear 6 recordings and ask them how many different basses they think they hear. Most say 4 or 5. They're quite surprised when I tell them all grooves were recorded with the same Ritter bass. For my first R8 I asked Jens for a specific sound (I gave him some recordings of bass sounds I liked) and I got a bass what almost exactly that sound. As Molan mentioned, Ritter basses do have some serious sub bass. The most flexible option would be active/passive Master electronics with triplebuckers.

My Cora Had some friends over some time ago:

Nice to see some Vigier basses in the collection. My Vigier Passion II custom 6-strings was my main bass for several years too. The necks are great.

[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 .
