Annoying Twit Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) That's a £99 starting price, not BIN. How good is the Ritter brand? To me it looks a very similar bass to the Stagg BC300. With the £23 postage, unless Ritter is a better brand than Stagg, it doesn't look like a bargain to me. Or does it being a lefty count for something? Edit: Confused. Looking at the link, I see very fancy high end basses. But the one on ebay looks like a mass produced Stagg-a-like. Am I missing something. I feel that your post has gone over my head.

Hamster Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 If Ritter has started ripping off Stagg designs they're gonna get whacked with a law suit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_D Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) I can probably clear any confusion here. Unless I am missing a but-load of sarcasm. I have the same Ritter gig bag. No idea if its related in any way to Jens (prob not) and this guy just doesnt realise its a stagg bass starter kit with a ritter bag!

Hamster Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I sent the lad a PM and got a very apologetic reply, he's now amended the auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Twit Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 It's been relisted with a better description, and there is a bidder.

Tait Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 to be fair to the guy, he added this on november 1st: On 01-Nov-08 at 10:52:31 GMT, seller added the following information: ***I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS A 'STAGG' GUITAR AND NOT A 'RITTER' AS THE MAIN HEADER READS. IT WAS A MISTAKE I MADE WHEN PLACING THE ADVERT AND APOLOGISE TO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A RITTER GUITAR AS THERE WAS NO INTENTION TO MISLEAD ANYBODY.*** I dont think he was trying to rip anyone off at all, it looks as though he just didnt reread his title when he wrote it to check if it sounded ok.

josh3184 Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 I never thought he was! He added that after Hamster PM'd him informing him of the mistake. I doubt he'd ever think he could hand it off as an original Jens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
