Sorry, I took my eyes of the ball on this one.
I am in North Wales.
The spacing feels like a 17mm thing. It is not Lakland wide, but not tight either. I would give measurements, but each string to the next is different. Is it a gimick? I don't know. It is comfortable, but no more or less than a bog standard 17/18mm spacing.
It turns out that the Turbo is not blown on the car after all, however the mechanic cannot actually find anything wrong with it. I will leave the sale open for now because I am actually happy with the basses I have and much as I am enjoying the Ritter, I do not NEED it (and liquid assests are always handy
