    Hi Jerry sorry for the late reply. I wouldn't say acoustic - hard to describe exactly but if you watch this clip it will give you a feel for the tone of these basses:

    Thanks for the comments guys.

    Ok so it's more gormless than fretless but for the money it will probably sound bloody good if you can live with the looks...

    Lucky for me it's a bit of a minger 😆

    Does this count? My gorgeous Ale Antia semi hollowbody 32"

    Thanks. It certainly isn't ugly, just a little more plain compared to some of the Ritters I've seen. I've never heard such a resonant instrument though. Playing unplugged you are still well aware this is a very special instrument. My only gripes are the lower horn isn't 100% comfortable whilst sitting, the ball end retainers are not the best design as the strings run over the wood where they exit towards the bridge. However, even in passive mode you have more than enough tones to suit most needs. Bring the EQ in, especially with the sweepable mids, and you will never want for another bass again - unless of course it is another Ritter!! Btw, which Dolphin did you own? If it is a pro 1 then it is pretty much the only Warwick model I haven't owned that I actually lust after!

    Are you serious? I think it sounds fantastic, nothing wet or farty about it! Some very nice playing too!

    Sorry but i was being a pedant and basing my reply on your previous assertion that Spector don't give basses away for free. Anyway, back on topic - do Ritter endorse anyone and if so do they receive their bass FOC? Also, even more on topic, here is my beautiful Ritter. Not as pretty as some but god damn it sounds amazing! Interestingly, and not trying to rub @thegreek up the wrong way, but I find it's tone is reminiscent of my Thumb NT 5 - incredible clarity and a somewhat HiFi presentation.

    My only suggestion would be to make sure the guy fiddling with your crossovers replaced whatever component is needed in both crossovers. The likelihood is that whatever component he replaces, whilst having the same value, will likely have different tolerances to the original. Even of it has the same tolerances, how close the actual value is to the specified value will likely vary. Not essential , but in terms of stereo imaging it could be worthwhile. When I rebuilt my crossovers this is the approach I took.

    Sorry but that is a very contradictory statement. Spector do give away free basses in that case, just like Warwick...

    this is on topic as far as I can see - we are comparing the merits of Ritters to other manufacturers. it is obvious you are negatively biased towards Warwick based on your experience. I am trying to balance the thread by offering my counter argument so anyone who reads this thread wont necessarily be put of Warwick but will see that there are differing opinions and hopefully they will research further. Just to be clear though - i paid £3500 for my Roya and believe it is worth every penny. However the build quality and ergonomics are not flawless and when I compare that amount of money to what I could buy fromt he classifieds - ie the Masterbuilt Infinity, I cannot see any reason to believe that the Infinity will be any less amazing than the Ritter - in fact it looks better IMO!

    Are you sure about that re. Spector? AFAIK Wal is the only brand that do not endorse any artists.
  13. dyerseve
    As someone who owns both a Ritter and several Warwicks, I have to strongly disagree. I love my Ritter Roya 5, it is definitely the best bass I have ever owned in terms of build quality and tone. However it cost much more than both my 1990 Streamer Stage 1 5er and my 2008 Thumb 5 put together! Neither of them are crappy or ugly on fact both are exceptional instruments with fantastic tones and looks. Albeit the Thumb has some ergonomic issues. For the amount of money you pay for a used Ritter, you can buy a mint used example from the Warwick Masterbuilt stable- none of which will be any less than exceptional. Ritters are exceptional but let's not lose our grip on reality please...

    That grey stuff i believe is a layer of plating used in the process to gold plate the brass. Shotblasting it can produce very cool results as you may have seen on that gloss white Streamer that was mine. That was solid brass gold coloured hardware that had faded.

    A white 80s Ibanez Musician, god help me!!!

    Thanks Brian.

    Hard to describe why but I love this! Build quality is beyond belief!! https://reverb.com/item/7074967-kd-earthquake-4-string-handmade-unique-rare-boutique

    Love the grain on the body. Another stunning Wal!
  19. dyerseve
    Thank you. Yes I got it from her on BC as a trade for a Wal. Let's just say I didn't miss the Wal....

    I don't see any problem with what this guy has done in this video. Plenty of "pro" musos that have stupid/annoying on stage antics including destroying their kit all as part of their act and most of their fans will just think how cool these guys are. The guy has got a talent for playing bass and making entertaining videos. Not everyone will like his content but that should hardly be a shocking revelation just like the fact that like everything else you dont like watching you have the choice to switch it off. If his videos get even one more person interested in picking up a bass or trying a new technique, learning a new track then I say good on him!

    **NOW TRADED** I know its a bold claim but I think the photos below go a long way to justifying that claim! Up for sale is a very special instrument handbuilt by Spanish luthier Ale http://www.aleguitarsluthier.com This instrument is not only stunning to look at but sounds incredible and as well - it is hugely versatile too thanks to the combination of the Aguilar pickup, piezo bridge, 3 band EQ, active/passive switching (EQ can be bypassed whilst active mode is engaged to give more headroom and "zing" in the tone compared to the passive tone without having to adjust the EQ), there is also a passive tone control, pickup blend and master volume. Strung with new Newtone Diamond strings. It is in excellent condition cosmetically and perfect working order – all of the hardware and electronics function perfectly. The first set of photos are from the manufacturers website(because my photos don’t do the beauty of this bass justice). The second set of photos are mine just to prove the condition I am only selling this because I now own a Ritter! Worldwide shipping available and it will come with a Hard case. Specification from manufacturers website: Model Antía. 5 strings. Scale Length 32" Space between strings 0,669"/17mm Nut 45mm Finish Gloss varnish Olive Top Mahogany hollow body design Maple-Padauk-Wengé Neck Ebony AAA Fingerboard ETS Bridge with Piezo Fingerboard Radius: 9.5" Approximate weight 3.5kg / 8.5lbs Markers Side dots Aguilar DCB Pickup Richter electronics Security Straplocks Hipshot HB6Y Ultralite Tuners

    Yeah sorry I realise there are a few up for sale at the no but only one 5er with barts and yes it is the one with gold hardware but it is the solid brass bridge which I think really adds to the tone. The glossy white one was mine and it was me that had it painted that colour(no offence taken btw lol). The natural '93 4 string stage 1 is actually mine - I do love my Streamers lol but need to thin the herd - a lot!!!
  24. dyerseve
    His idea of "very good condition" seems to be very different to mine!
  25. dyerseve
    Streamers from the 90s are superb! The earlier the better! I have a 90s 5er with barts and will never sell it. The exact same model but from a year later than mine is currently listed in the BC classifieds for a very similar price. If this one on eBay tempts you if would advise the one in the classifieds would be the better choice.
