Agreed. Tho I'm just looking for opinions as to why. I'd have no probs spending £10k on a Ritter if I had the pennies.

For a bass to be great for me, its all about playability, sound, versatility, projection, materials and cosmetic details. My main bass is worth around £1300, and with all things considered, for me it blows any fender ive played out of the water. The better construction, wood choices, electronics, playability and cosmetic touches make it worth the money in my eyes.
