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.

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!

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) :)

[s]Paul Geary won't be happy! haha. :)[/s]

Beaten to it.

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? :)

But imagine the grin on his face when she realises that she's rubbish and has to beg him to come back... Pay-rise Paul?! :)

no, just noticed the wooden way she's holding it.

There's a bass?

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.

haha, god bless Wayne, Basschat's top bullshit detector :)

(not calling the OP a bullsh*tt*r btw, just enjoying Wayne's disdain for coffee tables and bling)

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...
