Worlds most expensive bass!!!

[funkypenguin]

thats a beautiful coffee table alright....

[Mowac]

I wouldn't play a bass that ugly even if it was under a court order. Hell, for that kind of money, I'd keep John Diggins at Jaydee busy for the next several years with my orders alone. I might have a Unicorn bass built, (They are about as expensive as Alembics!)

I'd get a Sadowsky and penis reduction surgery, I've needed it for a while.

Is David Hasselhoff still in fashion over there?

WORD!

[Tait]

ok, its pretty hideous, but its not THAT bad. i think the worst part is the inlay to be honest. closely followed by the gold hardware (but that applies on any bass ever, gold hardware = BAD).

Any thoughts on the 10,000 year old mammoth ivory nut ? Not an option I tend to see from other luthiers

[Hutton]

If only it had been a four stringer I'd have had it in a minute!

[charic]

I have to admit I like it. I have a thing for full length inlays ^_^

Is this a hobby that we are unaware of?

[charic]

I can honestly say I was quite underwhelmed by the unicorn basses not my kinda thing

+1 here(but without the chalfonts)

[thebeat]

Sod the looks! more importantly, can you get a P bass sound out of it?

I may have exaggerated for effect!

[BassAgent]

I would buy about 20 Celinders before I would buy a Ritter like that.

[BigRedX]

While that particular Ritter isn't the bass for me, it's great to see someone doing something that isn't simply a clone of the Fender designs.

It's almost definitely a better investment than a new car costing the same amount of money and considerably less maintenance!

Cost doesn't matter if you have the disposable income and it's the right instrument for you.

[flatwound]

So,...is it a bass, or a "w***" ??

and I love this... "I'd rather have almost anything else (including piles). Horrible."

and this... "Rather slam my knob in the car door again"........ how did ya manage to do that ??

Perhaps you ought not to take me too literallly on the piles bit.

[leftybassman392]

Can't see this appearing at a gig anywhere near me anytime soon. Anyone with enough moolah to get this and not notice the hole in their bank account will:-


a. not need to use it to earn their living;

b. not want the great unwashed to have any chance of getting their sweaty mitts on it;

c. deserve it.

And you know what? They can keep it! Or better yet donate it to a worthy cause - ideas on this thread please...

How do you know that, how about some guy who has been playing a Squier afor 20 years every week then wins the lottery and thinks I'm gonna get something very special.
