TheGreek Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) [size=5]P/X's considered - Alembic SC or MK, Kingbass or high end Bass Collection 400/500/600 series.[/size] OK, finally need to bite the bullet and accept reality...I have too many basses so a cull is in order. For sale is my Ritter Cora which I acquired from Molan a while back. Formally owned by our own Scooby. Spec is here: [url="https://ritter-instruments.com/item_info.php?i=471"]https://ritter-instr..._info.php?i=471[/url] It really is a beautiful and desirable piece of kit but I can't justify keeping it in it's case unused, under my bed so it needs to find a new home.

TheGreek Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Thanks Barry.....but I can't justify having it under the bed for 9 months of the year...really needs to go to a good home where it'll get used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck_stones Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Jens Ritter is a genius; a world class luthier with hi-fi fanaticism, German engineering skills and an unparalleled appreciation for bass finishes....one day I will own a Ritter bass. Sadly it won't be now Best of luck with the sale, these things are nothing short of incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliusmonk Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Tempted to offer my KB as px... Any hints on the tone? I tried a Ritter years ago and it was nice but nothing to write home about considering the price... That one had triplebuckers or something like that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 I thought this would have been snapped up initially - just shows how poor the market is currently.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big rob Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 This is a lovely bass, just most of us have other halfs that would remove our love spuds if we spent that much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudi8 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1433240851' post='2789186'] Seemingly pointless exercise bump... [/quote] don't lose hope, you are holding an amazing bass, for some reason it is easier to sell a fodera in 5000 pounds than a ritter in almost half, even though IMO Ritter's build quality and sound are no less and in some cases a lot better....

auvergne81 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I totally agree with you, for any reason i will change my ritter R8 for an other bass ... except maybe just to take an other Ritter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 I really like the R8 - one of the nicest single cut basses around - there's a really nice white one on eBay at the moment - Molan has a white Cora (I think) with white strings - looks very stylish... This will probably be going to The Gallery following The Herts Bass Bash as there has been little interest here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hi, Really beautiful. How is that maple neck sounding ? Heavily compressed like Fender or more opened ? Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Does far more than any Fender could ever dream of....there's absolutely no comparison..it's like trying to compare today's top Porche to a classic Volkswagon Beetle. The range of sounds/tones from the Ritter filter system can create virtually any tone that you'd ever need...and a few more besides. You really need to try one to know what I mean but since they're pretty rare in comparison to Fenders and not held in stock at many shops (Bass Gear, in Reading being one of the few exceptions) you'll probably only get the chance to try one at one of the trade shows or Bass Bashes. I'll be taking this to the next Herts Bass Bash on 14th June where it will be available to try - I know it'll be a major trek from Belgium but you're welcome to have a go if you can make it. Till then you'll have to drool over those featured in the "Gear Porn" and "For sale" threads... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
