Ritter Princess Isabella Bass

Recommended Posts

The Princess Isabella guitar has been around for while (favoured by George Benson IIRC) and now the bass...

The bass itself is rather nice, not sure about the wallpaper finish though

Curtains. Or cushions. Could be either one.

Just found it on the Ritter site - didn't realise from Roland Rock's post that it is actually "upholstered" - amazing!

Now this is interesting. I really do have a strong aversion to painted basses, and most Ritter basses hurt my eyes, but this... I like?! I have a soft spot for bloom, I suppose. And I really like the inlays.

Possibly because this one isn't painted. Pay attention at the back 😉

Wild stuff! Reminds me of the old vinyl covered Höfners (Hohners? Hagströms?) but, well, a tad more elegant. I don't want to get into the whole "effect of finish on tone" debate, but wouldn't upholstery actually let the wood "breathe" more than a thick poly coating a la 70's Fenders? Another bonus is that it's interchangeable!

Come to think of it, why the hell ISN'T instrument upholstery already an industry? You can find shells for your mobile phone in every corner shop, yet you can't seem to find a velvet draping for your P-bass.

Why does that sound like an euphemism... :(
