Doctor J Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Ritter is the most bling bass there is, I'll be surprised if it's not gold plated. to be honest Great singer, whose reputation is only enhanced by the fact that she chose the right instrument, great taste, Mary.

molan Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 She's using a Ritter Cora apparently: From Jens Ritter himself: “Last July Superstar Mary J Blige felt in love with my CORA 5-String Bass. She immediately custom ordered one and I delivered it to her recently. Now she’s an official new JENS RITTER INSTRUMENTS Player! STANDARD CUSTOMER – No Endorser! The additional cool news is: She started to take Bass Lessons because of the Cora!” I hear the Cora is the most 'jazz-like' of Jens' basses - I really like the look of these, would love to try one out!

risingson Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I like her music a lot, always have... I'd be keen to listen to her new album when it comes out, it's rammed full of amazing guest appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obbm Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 She may have a nice bass to learn on but she's not playing it live. Bass duties are currently being covered by Paul Geary - (bassic-bits endorsee) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still, imagine the shame Paul would get if he was fobbed of because she wanted to play all the live gigs on bass herself?

BigRedX Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I don't see what the big deal is. By all accounts she's got the money and so she's gone out and bought a an instrument that not only looks good but sounds good and plays well too.

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) She's going to be upset when she sees what the zips on her jacket have done to the back of the bass. Edited April 19, 2011 by Jean-Luc Pickguard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 But the Ritter bass is a perfect match for her image. (Whether you like her or Jens Ritter's instruments). Image if she was pictured with Herbie Flowers' Jazz bass. You'd think she'd been rummaging through the bins at the back of the venue...
