Watch the building of a Ritter bass!

Who has never dreamt of an instrument which was built based on your own individual desires? A piece exactly like you want it to be and nobody on earth has the same model? On the Frankfurt Musikmesse 2004, I had the luck to meet Jens Ritter who aroused this dream in me.  Since I have the opinion that dreams are there to make them come true, Jens and me decided to collaborate, and so he will build an instrument perfectly fitting to me, which I will promote as his endorser!

But I didn't want only to get the finished instrument, but also to witness its building. And for everyone who is interested in such a process, I documented this here on my homepage:

Chapter 1: The wood arrives
Chapter 2: First shapes

Chapter 3: Long neck
Chapter 4: Put on the spotlights!

Chapter 5: Colors and electronics
Chapter 6: It is done

Meanwhile my bass is finished, and my new baby and I already produced a couple of deep frequencies. But here you can watch the building process of my Ritter Roya with the serial number 0419 from the very first beginning.

I hope you have fun with my story!
