Born 2B Mild Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 There are a few free places available to attend this event that [b]Bass Gear[/b] has just organised as a result of us taking on the UK sales for Ritter Instruments of Germany. It's not a sales show ...they don't make many! Just an interesting insight in to the world of a very much talked about luthier and to see his creations being used. Just email [email protected] to ask to be put on the list. Jens is very good humoured and witty and speaks great English. He'll be bringing a few tasty instruments along and talking about Ritter basses and how they are made and who uses them, plus they'll be some live grooves with some Ritter basses on stage with Bass Gear's Chief Test Pilot, Tom Kent and his accompanying musicians. 7pm to 9pm at London's Institute of Contemporary Music Performance on Thursday 3rd November.

chris_b Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 This should be good, I'd like to go.... unfortunately it's also the wife's birthday! Let me know when you do another evening like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Shame it's in London, I work during the week and there's no way I'd be able to make it. Always though his work was stunning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 That sounds like a great evening out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I'd love to go but it's a bit of a trek from up here & I'd need to be back for work the following morning if I (miraculously) made it. Ask him if he fancies doing one up in this neck of the woods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Just thought I'd check if anyone is going to this? I'll definitely be there, really looking forward to seeing some of Jens' creations! I've seen him talk before (with Joey Lauricella, Jimmy Coppolo and Mike Tobias) and he was really good at explaining his design ethics and build methods etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I aim to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born 2B Mild Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Just wanted to say thanks to all who have seen this thread and been in touch.about coming. There's a handful of seats still spare in case anyone wants to come (see original post). Cheers, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Will he be bringing any Ritter Sport bars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Spoke to Phil at BassGear earlier this evening and there are still some tickets going for this. Given that they are free and it's very rare to get a builder with the class of Jens Ritter over here in London it would be good to see some more BC'ers coming out for the evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born 2B Mild Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 All is looking good. Pleased to see a Top Name bass player has requested to attend. Should be able to seat a few more though, so do let me know quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 He's a bit like a master chef of luthiers to me. Always uses the best ingredients and pushes the boundaries a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 A little? I still need to see some of his finishes in the flesh but from the photo's they seem pretty much second to none. If I win the euro I'll commission some doors for my kitchen from him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
