throwoff Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I think I read in Bass guitar mag that he got the bog oak from the bottom of the river in Frankfurt when it was being dredged! The dredger pulled up a 9,500 year old piece of oak and he decided to make basses from it. Bottom one on here is quite an example of it!

Really love this thread's fretless and it's not too OTT (apart from the bolt on neck ).

chuck_stones Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Sweet mother of God. I'll be, if that isn't one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Never even heard of Ritter instruments before now; looking at their website, the basses ought to be considered national heritage sites. Crazy beautiful, BUMP.

JamieBenzies Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 If I owned this thing I don't think I could possibly play it, just bow down to it 3 times a day and bring it offerings of the best consumables the land has to offer...
