Ritter Vic Davies Tribute - The Victor!

Recommended Posts

Some of you here may remember the lovely, and very talented, Vic Davies - store manager at BassGear until his untimely passing way too young. 
 

Vic’s personal dream Ritter was finished just before we lost him 6 years ago and he has now been commemorated by special, and unique, new instrument:

 

A Cora bass named “The Victor”. It is an absolutely stunning instrument and with a core frosted black theme, white hardware, an amazing ‘dirty Ebony’ fingerboard and a meaty, overwound, humbucker, I just know Vic would be overjoyed with this special tribute ❤️

A little reminder of Vic.

 

One of my favourite ever pics of him - taken next to a wall of Ritters at the London Bass Show. 
 

I was trying to get a sneaky pic of him in front of those basses and he spotted me - this was a classic Vic response 😂

That looks fabulous Barrie. I fitting tribute. Is that 1139 I see on the wall behind him?

It is indeed - both it and the green Roya you can see, were mine at the time and the white Cora is still with me :)
