Up for sale is my recently acquired Ritter Roya. Wonderful craftmanship, playability, tonally, this bass has it! THE ONLY reason I am selling is I have reached the conclusion I am a Dingwall man for the remainder of my playing career, however long that may be, so no trades please. The condition is 9.6 out of 10, no dents scratches, hardware discoloration, anything of that nature. There is a small crack in the surface finish between the neck pickup and the neck pocket, I've seen this on other Ritters, so it's not uncommon and has no affect on playability or mechanics of the bass. There is slight wear on the fretboard where the color is lighter due to someone playing with a wedding band, but almost unnoticeable. The following is the information from Jens himself:
This Instrument is an exclusively hand-crafted unique product.

Currently strung with Neon Pink DR's but those will soon come off in favor of the black Ritter strings.
