GreeneKing Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'd go for one or the other but not both together. The bottom preferably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misrule Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I like Ritters -- but that's too busy for me. I'd prefer it if they did the whole body in the yellow and blue from the lower half. How much is it? (doesn't matter -- I can't afford it ) Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) MB1. Very Nice colour! Bit of Overkill on the Neck Screws!...10?...must be prone to wandering? Having just looked back at the bass it does now look like 2 totally different finishes! Edited January 15, 2009 by MB1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Burpster Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 It looks like the kinda thing that hangs on the walls of places that George Micheal was famous for hanging around when talking to nice Policemen....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 A bit OTT for me i think. Much prefer a nice plain finish... must be getting old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubs Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 The grain on the back of the neck looks amazing. The rest of it is...erm...interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 An acquired taste, I thought it was a fancy abstract paint finish. If it were in amberburst or similar I'd probably be dribbling on the keyboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Finishes like that usually leave me a bit cold - but that is really stunning :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I think that finish is achieved by spraying a stain over the wood and sanding it back. Jens has a real eye for dramatic impact though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjb Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) Awesome. OTT of course, but then it's meant to be. It's not designed to be played, it's designed to get Ritter more attention! Edited January 15, 2009 by rjb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether its for more headroom on the pre-amp boost & cut, or active eq & pickups. -Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
