TheGreek Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Footage of the latest bass from Jens. Bass looks great despite the fretboard. https://youtu.be/XKMDNeef4MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilorius Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Yes, bass is great, but no matter you like the fretboard, before you open your acount, try to, try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Hey Mick, shut your account Bass is too wacky for me. Looks like John Travolta should be dancing on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 It's an interesting looking bass but I'm not a fan of that 'elastic bands on a butter tub' tone. I've heard better sounding Ritters, with roundwound strings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard better sounding Ritters, with roundwound strings. I love the look of that bass - saw it a little while ago (on Jen's mailing list), but I completely agree on the tone... really quote poor to be honest, and the playing of that chap is a bit 'basic'. He might very well be an excellent player, but that video does not at all showcase how exceptionally good I believe that bass is in reality.

Chris2112 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I haven't seen that video in years, it certainly brings back memories of when a comparison to a Wishbass was an outright insult 🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 I must say that I love many of the Ritter designs - at least he's doing more than churning out Fender copies. However I owned a Cora which I was afraid to take out in case it was damaged. No point owning a bass you're scared to play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I should point out that I have no problem with Ritter's designs. It's the tone of the bass in that clip that is a bit... questionable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 To be fair… if you’re after that tone and you can’t do wet farts on demand, there aren’t many other options out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greentext Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I usually love Ritter stuff but gotta say this one really isnt for me, that fretboard would both mesmerise and confuse if I was to play it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 I'm not sure we can just the tone of this bass by a 1:32 video. Pretty sure if it's got "Ritter" on the headstock it's going to be far from a one trick pony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
